My Personal Interpretation of Wish You Were Here by Neck Deep
Living your life as a teenager in high school and having a partner that is always beside you sounds like a dream to me. This is exactly my thoughts when I first listened to this song. First of all, I knew close to nothing about Neck Deep and their songs, but here I just want to express my personal interpretation of one of the most popular songs from them.
IMO, this song gives you that i-totally-regret-my-relationship-life-decisions kind of vibe, because it’s so obvious and you can guess right after reading the song’s title. I can picture my self living in this song’s narration as it goes worse and worse. I feel like I’m reminiscing a person that doesn’t even exist. I feel like I’ve known this particular person since I was little. I can vividly see my self holding her hands. I feel like there’s a chunk of memory of her that is messing up with my mind. I can really feel the loss, the sadness, and the grief when she’s gone. I can barely hear my friends saying things like “everything’s meant to be". In the end, I imagine that the only thing I have is her picture, so I just wish that she was here.
A part of this song that really strikes a chord for me is
Singing along to a song from three summers ago
The one that made you remember it
Now I’ll always remember it (I’ll always remember it)
As the song that your life ended with
All I see is that this particular person has gone as in she has passed away.
