Nostalgia Lyrics (English Translation) – SAIKO

Nostalgia (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This part talks about how the memories of someone special make the person feel sad. When they think about the good times or see old photos, they realize how long it’s been since those moments. Their psychologist advises them to let go to find happiness, but they feel lost without that person. They even imagine what the other person might say if they were there, but instead of feeling better, they end up hurting themselves by holding on too tightly to those memories.

[Chorus]
Here, the person compares their feelings to going back to their childhood room, where everything feels familiar but also brings back strong emotions. Sometimes, just seeing someone who reminds them of their loved one’s scent triggers memories. They feel like life was so much better before, and even though remembering hurts, they are beginning to accept that feeling. Forgetting someone who once meant everything feels impossible, and the silence around them feels heavy. They wish to hear that person’s voice again because, no matter what, that love will always stay.

[Verse 2]
This part shows how hard it is to live everyday life without the loved one. Eating alone feels strange, and watching sunsets reminds them of the life they once shared. They don’t want to just give up or accept a dull life, but rebuilding their happiness seems really tough because their past relationship set a high standard. They feel a heavy pain inside and wonder who will help ease it. The past was beautiful, but the future feels scary and unclear. To avoid the pain, they distract themselves, but they still can’t stop thinking about how no one else can replace their loved one. They regret not appreciating the happiness they had until it was gone.

[Chorus]
Again, the memories bring the person back to a familiar place full of feelings, like returning to their old room or smelling something that reminds them of their love. Life seems like it was better back then, and even though remembering hurts, they are learning to live with that pain. Forgetting someone so important feels impossible. The quiet around them feels overwhelming, and they deeply wish to hear their loved one’s voice just once more. That love will always be a part of them, even if they are apart.

[Outro]
In this ending part, the person reminds us that moments we live now will someday become memories too. Photos we take today will turn into nostalgia later on. They thank the listener for hearing their story and encourage us to remember that while the past was beautiful, there are still many new memories waiting to be made.
