Alius Vita - Neoretro

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
