In a nostalgic reflection on the passage of time and changing relationships, PREP explores themes of longing, isolation, and the inevitability of change. The lyrics depict a sense of being held back by circumstances beyond one's control, symbolized by gravity's pull. The narrative unfolds with a poignant dialogue about loneliness and disconnection, underscored by references to modern life's distractions like "light-speed internet" and the pressures to move forward without addressing past issues. The recurring refrain emphasizes that despite shared experiences, the present reality is fundamentally different from what once was. This song poignantly captures the bittersweet realization that life’s dynamics evolve, often leaving us yearning for simpler times.
