Eighties Lyrics
When you find your castle on the hill with the bars on the windows
Will you burn the bridge behind you? Will you ever come out & see the sun again Or will you hide? And now how long has it been since you've seen the light? Make your way on the stairs To the top of your tower Stone cold floors, hardwood doors Lead you to your room of plastic flowers They still look the same drenched in water It comforts you to think that they're alive It could have been easier than this If you threw it all away, what would you miss? It could have been too much of a chance to take The silence in your head would have to break Your grip is slipping faster Looks like you'll have to face yourself after all Step outside the shadows of your cage Strangled truth, stolen youth is written on every line of every page It's your story - do you want it back? You have to decide if it is worth it Swim across the swamp to the other side Run until you're out of breath and when you look back they'll be nothing left but a memory fading quickly It could have been easier than this If you threw it all away, what would you miss? It could have been too much of a chance to take The silence in your head would have to break Your grip is slipping faster Looks like you'll have to face yourself after all It could have been easier than this If you threw it all away, what would you miss? It could have been too much of a chance to take The silence in your head would have to break Your grip is slipping faster Looks like you'll have to face yourself after all |

Change is definitely a strong theme to the song. As you grow up things do change and not necessarily for the better. For instance, a traumatic event in the past can trigger many sad emotions later in life.
That's one thing the song can be about for some people, not being able to move on from an event from their childhood, which can automatically mean missing the eighties cause things were so much more better before the change.
