Neoretro Lyrics

Am I retro, or just too old for modern life? Who knows

Is nostalgia like a drug? Is Arcadia empty

People warn me about rose-tinted glasses, as it goes

But my values are not old fashioned, nor are they guilty

The past is not always a shame

So why should it take all the blame

We often forget whence we came

But not all old things are the same

I'm not defending the sins that took place in the old days

But don't fool yourself – future ones will judge us all like that

But history teaches us that we're bound by our time's ways

If it's wrong to love the past, how can we know where we're at

The past is not always a shame

So why should it take all the blame

We often forget whence we came

But not all old things are the same

I know nostalgia can seem to stunt growth

But I do not think that it need block us

From finding new things, for we can love both

I just can't accept that it must lock us

The past is not always a shame

So why should it take all the blame

We often forget whence we came

But not all old things are the same
