The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Nostalgia" by the artist "Vanessa White"

Contents

In "Nostalgia," Vanessa White paints a picture of a woman grappling with a wave of longing for a past love. Surrounded by red wine and familiar songs, she tries to convince herself that it's just nostalgia, nothing more.

However, the lyrics betray a deeper well of emotion. Phrases like "it's not a special day" and "I'm not saying I need you here" sound more like self-reassurance than genuine disinterest.

The recurring motif of "you're touching me, you're loving me, you don't know what you do to me" further emphasizes the lingering impact of the past relationship. The lyrics capture the lingering sensations of touch, love, and the profound effect this person had on her.

Even though she acknowledges he's moved on, the memories and feelings resurface with painful clarity. Nostalgia pulls her back to the memory of their kisses, his presence. Ultimately, the song leaves a bittersweet aftertaste of unrequited love disguised as simple nostalgia.

Don't know why

But I'm having one of those, those nights

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Red wine

And I'm playing all those songs we like

Oh baby

And it isn't any kind of anniversary

No, no, no, no

I'm not saying that I really need you here with me

[Chorus:]

It's just nostalgia

It don't mean a thing

I'm just drinking and thinking about you

Oh, ah, oh, oh

But this nostalgia

Is making me miss that kiss

Reminiscing about you

Oh, ah, oh, oh

[2x:]

You touch me

You love me

You don't know what you've done to me

Thought I was over you

Cause now you've ended up with her

Yeah I know she's pretty, yeah she's really, really pretty

But the truth hurts

And I guess what makes it even worse

Is that it isn't any kind of anniversary

No, no, no, no

But the more I drink, the more

I want you here with me

[Chorus:]

It's just nostalgia

It don't mean a thing

I'm just drinking and thinking about you

Oh, ah, oh, oh

But this nostalgia

Is making me miss that kiss

Reminiscing about you

Oh, ah, oh, oh

[2x:]

You touch me

You love me

You don't know what you've done to me

[Chorus:]

It's just nostalgia

It don't mean a thing

I'm just drinking and thinking about you

Oh, ah, oh, oh

But this nostalgia

Is making me miss that kiss

Reminiscing about you

Oh, ah, oh, oh

[2x:]

You touch me

You love me

You don't know what you've done to me
