Summer Joyfriend - Soma II

I drove by my old school the other day
All the buildings and walls looked
Eerily all the same
It was very strange
Like the notion that the only constant is change
But then why do people tend
To always make the same mistakes
Just like I did yesterday

Swinging dancers are fond of romances in pink and blue
Their silhouettes are drinking beer on top of the old cineplex roof
My stray thoughts always seem to ricochet back to you
All these vivid dreams and false memories
What is true?

Collective voices drowned out like white noise
As the shadows are steadily approaching the backdoor
Like they did in 1984
I dabbled in the esoteric
But everything came out sounding plastic
So I just discarded it

Teenaged Malays are feeling
Some kind of teenage malaise
There's malice in the palace
But the storefront is still in shape
The obsolescence of history lessons
This one's for the books

Drove around my neigbourhood the other night
Scarcely any cars or bodies in my sight
Mostly half dead neon lights
Era of progress, old things come to pass
A single trunk road branches into an overpass
Mr How told it best

Swinging dancers are fond of romances in pink and blue
Their silhouettes are drinking beer on top of the old cineplex roof
My stray thoughts always seem to ricochet back to you
All these vivid dreams and false memories
What is true?
