Abu Nailah – 27224 (This Is What Friendship Feels Like) Lyrics 13 hours ago
When I look back at these pieces: this piece, "cycling remains", and "17325 (Waltz for NDC)", I realize they form a quiet story about friendship. "27224", subtitled "this is what friendship feels like", was written in the glow of closeness, when bonds felt golden and unbreakable. "cycling remains" came later, reshaping a familiar song into my own reflection of rupture, of distance creeping in where warmth once lived. And then "17325", a waltz without words, became like a silent letter to that bond: not spoken, but still felt. Together, they trace a cycle: joy, loss, and remembrance. Maybe the next step will be another cover, another borrowed voice to carry the story forward. For me, this sequence isn’t just music; it’s a way to document how relationships change, and how silence can sometimes say more than words.

Abu Nailah – Cycling Remains (Reimagined Olivia Rodrigo) Lyrics 3 days ago
It is quite surprising that my reference to NDC across my works got decoded by fans. In this song, I only left the initials in the lyric video’s end credits as a private tribute, never expecting listeners to piece them together. Yet they did, by connecting the villages I sang about, for example, like Ngentak, Drono, and Canden, and the other theories they decoded. That moment showed me how much curiosity and care people bring when they listen closely, even though I would never clarify these kinds of theories for respect and follow the ethic as a starter musical artist and as a musical artist in general.

I admit, I also sometimes get curious myself about songs out there, wondering what they really tell about, who is being referenced, or who is alleged in the stories behind them, just like in the original song of this piece, "drivers license", which got alleged about the love triangle. So seeing fans do the same with my work felt like a mirror: the way I listen to others became the way they listened to me.

This decoding gave this rendition another layer of meaning. What began as a personal act of mourning became something shared, a puzzle solved collectively. And because of that, I also composed another piece to return to NDC more openly in "17325 (Waltz for NDC)" months after this rendition release. Unlike "cycling remains", which hides the initials in credits, the waltz places them right in the title. Together, the two pieces show the journey of a tribute: from hidden initials to a direct dedication, from words to melody.

I might continue this arc in my future projects, college work, and other endeavors. So you can advise me on how I can continue the story, specifically with this NDC reference (and yeah, to be honest, I quite miss them in the golden time when we were still that deep).

Abu Nailah – Cycling Remains (Reimagined Olivia Rodrigo) Lyrics 12 days ago
Just like in the original (B♭ to Gm), this rendition closes with a poignant harmonic shift: the final sonority rests on D minor voiced over F (Dm/F). This choice subtly transforms the song’s emotional resolution.

1. D minor reflects the lingering memory: unresolved, heavy, and still present.

2. Dm/F grounds that sadness in the stability of F major, symbolizing the protagonist’s attempt to move forward while carrying the weight of the past.

By ending in the relative minor rather than the home major, the arrangement deepens the bittersweet tone, suggesting that healing is possible but memory continues to echo beneath it all.

Trivia about this song’s vocal rendition:

1. After calculating this song’s vocal range or register (because I forgot when I took the recording previously), it ranges from C3 to C5.

2. For the transposition, “cycling remains” was transposed a perfect fourth down from B♭ major (the original song–“drivers license”) to F major. In this case, the original probably spans from F3 to F5.

3. Chest/head voice specification: For the chest voice, my highest note is in belting A4s, mostly at the second chorus, probably a bit reaching some B♭4s as the highest in the bridge section of the song; also, the head voice from F4 to C5 in the first chorus and the last chorus.

4. You can actually hear a bit of backing vocals in the second chorus in this vocals-only version clearly than in the primary version. Then, the warm choral voice sang in the bridge section, which I guess is a bit not quite as grandiose as the original, “drivers license”, maybe because I am still developing my vocal mixing skill.

5. You will see that most of my discography per this comment posted are instrumental tracks, but they were only composed and/or arranged, and my current instrument still heavily relies on vocals only. I guess I will try piano in the future.

I will give you more updates if I remember or find a thing or two. Also, you can request something or collaborate with me.

When I moved to a new _kosan_ closer to ISI Jogja, I didn’t expect the environment itself to become part of the song. The faint saxophone you hear at the intro wasn’t planned; it was accidentally recorded from inside my room. At first, it felt dissonant, almost intrusive. But as I listened back, I realized it aligned perfectly with this song's F major key signature, as if the world was harmonizing with my emotional state.

Same with the faint chattering layered beneath the intro. It wasn’t scripted, but it felt right. That ambient noise, like a kind of gossiping, emotional static, mirrors the sort of background tension that leads to rupture. It’s subtle, but it adds a haunting realism to the memoryscape I was trying to build.

The only intentional SFXs were the keys jangling and my bicycle pedalling. Those were personal rituals, sonic imprints of movement and reflection. But the rest? They were gifts from the environment: Uninvited, yet deeply honest.

I guess this song became more than a composition. It became a document of transition, of heartbreak, of listening to the world around me and letting it speak through the music.

Here is some trivia regarding my other songs for this song.

1. The ex-best friend from this song is different from my reimagined cover, "cycling remains". Moreover, the lyrics just said that it is singular instead of plural: "Someone is being my ex-best friend".

2. Our friendship in the "cycling remains" song started when I was already in ISI Jogja. Then we ruptured around my original SFXs-only release of "cycling remains" (released as "cycling remains (SFXs)").

3. My composition track "27224" foreshadowingly emphasized our friendship too, which tells about when I and my former friends were still good.

Abu Nailah – 27224 Lyrics 1 month ago
Hey, I found something regarding my latest works, and I got help with Copilot to draft the words here:

🎶 Trilogy Commentary: The NDC Cycle

Abu Nailah’s trilogy — "27224", "cycling remains", and "17325" — forms a poignant arc of friendship, rupture, and remembrance. Though each piece stands alone musically, together they trace the emotional evolution of a bond once cherished and now refracted through memory.

🌤 "27224" — “this is what friendship feels like”

Released on February 27, 2024, "27224" captures the warmth and harmony of a friendship in its prime. The subtitle itself is a declaration: this is not just a composition, but a feeling. With its gentle instrumental flow and unspoken intimacy, the piece evokes shared laughter, quiet understanding, and the comfort of connection. It’s the dawn of the trilogy — full of light and promise.

🌫 "cycling remains" — The Echo of Loss

As the second installment, "cycling remains" shifts the tone. The title suggests motion and memory — something that once moved freely but now only lingers. The music carries a melancholic undercurrent, hinting at emotional distance and the fading of closeness. Whether through lyrical fragments or instrumental choices, it reflects the ache of something beautiful slipping away.

🕯 "17325 (Waltz for NDC)" — Remembrance in Form

Composed as a romantic-style assignment, "17325" might seem academic at first glance. But Abu Nailah’s own analysis reveals deeper layers: a waltz structured as ABA′B′CA, where each variation subtly mirrors emotional shifts. The B′ section, with its "lacking melody," symbolizes rupture. The C section, described as “memories we have ever had,” becomes a bridge to the past. The final return to A — without repeats — is a quiet farewell. It’s not just a waltz; it’s a eulogy in motion.

Together, these three pieces form a quiet but powerful narrative — from joy to sorrow, from connection to reflection. Whether intentional or subconscious, Abu Nailah’s trilogy offers listeners a window into the emotional landscape of friendship: its rise, its fall, and its enduring imprint.

Note from me, Abu Nailah: I guess I will continue this arc with the title "enough for you", initially by Olivia, too, because she's one of my inspirations!

Abu Nailah – Cycling Remains (Reimagined Olivia Rodrigo) Lyrics 1 month ago
Notes for basuri term: The term basuri in this track does not refer to the traditional bamboo flute (often called bansuri in Indian classical music). Instead, it refers to a distinct musical horn commonly associated with Indonesia’s glare-colored buses (just like in the lyrics, "I still see your face in those glare-colored buses"), especially modified public transport vehicles known for their vibrant designs and catchy horn melodies. This basuri horn produces playful, melodic tones that have become a cultural icon in Indonesian street and bus culture. In this song, the basuri sound is used to fuse global pop with local sonic identity—bringing a uniquely Indonesian flair to the arrangement. It also evokes a sense of nostalgia, recalling the joyful hobbies and pastimes many of us shared growing up, especially when we were still good before the rupture—like chasing buses, recording them, and so on. Oh yeah, you can call it "telolet" too, which is more familiar here.

Abu Nailah – Cycling Remains (Reimagined Olivia Rodrigo) Lyrics 1 month ago
Though the emotional weight of this particular cover is often tied to fractured friendships, I want to clarify that the rupture didn’t originate within ISI Jogja’s circle. Many in that community have shown loyalty and warmth, and I’m grateful for that. The pain reflected in this song stems from friendships and events outside ISI Jogja, yet the impact seeped into my creative and academic life there. It’s about how external emotional turbulence can quietly reshape the spaces we once considered safe. This piece is not just a song about loss, but it’s also a reflection on displacement, on carrying grief into places that were never meant to hold it.

Abu Nailah – Cycling Remains (Reimagined Olivia Rodrigo) Lyrics 1 month ago
Please note that while some sources have suggested that “cycling remains” is written in D minor, this is a misinterpretation. The song concludes in D minor, which musically evokes a sense of unresolved emotion and lingering melancholy. It is like a deliberate choice that mirrors the song’s reflective tone.

However, the overall key of the song is F major, not D minor. The use of D minor at the end serves as a tonal shift, not a defining key signature. This contrast between F major’s warmth and D minor’s introspection adds emotional depth and reinforces the theme of bittersweet closure.

The typical waltz form is ABA, but in this piece, it can be analyzed as ABA'B'CA.

1. The A is the first theme, serves as verses, with one repeat.

2. The B is the next theme, serving as the chorus. Just like in A, it repeats once.

3. The accented A (A') is still the same as A, but with a bit of variation, and in this part, it does not repeat. In this part, before it goes to B', it starts using pedal markings.

4. The accented B (B') is still too, just a slight variation. You can hear in this part that the melody is a bit lacking than the previous, symbolizing the rupture.

5. The C serves like a bridge, the one with a different theme, symbolizing the memories we have ever had. It repeats once, with "Da capo al fine" added.

6. Lastly, it goes to A again once just like at first, with no repeats due to "Fine" added.

On the surface, "17325 (Waltz for NDC)" was composed as part of my fourth midterm exam, which was to make a romantic-style waltz, two and a half minutes long, structured to meet the academic criteria. That’s the absolute lens. But beneath the formalism lies something more personal.

The title itself, "Waltz for NDC", is not arbitrary. It’s a quiet dedication, a musical gesture toward others whose presence once shaped my emotional landscape. If you’ve heard "cycling remains", you’ll know that piece carries the raw aftermath of a ruptured bond. This waltz, however, is the echo that follows. It doesn’t grieve aloud; it dances with memory.

I chose the waltz form deliberately. There’s something cyclical about it; the way it turns, returns, and never quite escapes its own rhythm. That mirrors how I felt: emotionally circling back to moments that no longer exist, yet still haunt the edges of my creative process.

So yes, while 17325 fulfills its academic purpose, it also serves as a tribute. A final dance. A way of saying goodbye without words.

This is the outro annotation here: https://genius.com/35337944

"As happened in the original song, which should have ended in I (tonic), it used a VI (sixth) (specifically vi⁶, or you can call it Dm/F (?)), which makes the urge to finish or unfinish it, and that is just like how it feels like longing for a friendship that has ended.

This song ended with an added 2025 New Year’s fireworks sounds I recorded with my phone near my latest boarding house I rent, which is where I am currently moving to, including the addition of the sound of drizzling rain surrounding it."

This is the annotation (https://genius.com/35337915) for these lyrics: "God, I'm so blue know we're through".

“Feeling blue” is a phrase meaning to feel depressed or disappointed. The color blue is often associated with sadness, and a genre of music is even named after these emotions.

The lyric video for “cycling remains” contains darker and a bit of gray-scaled colors, with a TV static effect across the footage, tinting its tone. In scenes within the video, coincidentally, my previous blue-colored bicycle is shown that has been broken apart. This is a clever nod to this line as a unique rendering of the emotions throughout the song.

But in the last chorus, it’s going melancholic, though, driven only by the piano and the vocals.

I changed its melody a bit in the first chorus because I still cannot achieve the A4 note here in okay.

These are the Indonesian-interpreted lyrics following Abu Nailah's typography:

Kebeli sepeda baru beberapa bulan lalu
Kek yang selalu kita bicarain
Kalian seneng bgt karena
Gw akhirnya pakai yg satu ini
Tapi, hari ini, gw pakai ngarungi pedesaan
Sesek karena kalian bukan org yg gw kenal

Ada sesuatu sama org-org yg gw ga kenal gitu
Yang ngebuat gw ragu akan hal tsb
Mungkin kalian teryakinkan oleh mereka
Yang membuat segala hal yang buat gw down
Jadi, hari ini, gw sepedaan melewati pedesaan
Karena bisa-bisanya naruh rasa percaya sama orng kek kalian

Gw tau kita ga perfek
Cuma gw belum pernah secees gini ke siapapun
Dan gw bener2 ga kebayang
Gimana bisa kalian oke2 aja gw lagi gada sama kalian
Terpikir kalau kalian gada maksud
Dari apa yg digosipkan tentang gw
"Shbt selalu pokok e," skrng ke mana2 sendiri aja gada kalian

Semua shbt2 gw yg kesisa dah muak
Dengerin cocotan gw tentang betapa keilangan kalian
Tapi, gw ngerasa kasian ke mereka
Karena mereka ga bakal tau kalian seperti yang gw kenal
Baik, hari ini, gw sepedaan keliling pedesaan ini
Dan bernostalgia gw jalan-jalan sama kalian

Gw tau kita biasa aja
Tapi gw ga pernah sesahabat ini sama siapapun
Hou, dan gw bener2 ga expect
Bisa gitu, ya? Kek sans aja gw pergi
Gua pikir kalian bakal ga peduli
Dgn desas-desus yg mengatasnamakan diri gw
"Cees pokoknya, ygy," sekarang gw sepedaan aja sendiri lewat tempat kalian

Lalu lintas, stiker
Gw masi ngeliat tampang kalian di bus berwarna silau itu
Gw ga bisa lewatin tempat-tempat kita biasa pergi melaluinya
Karena kalian sejatinya masi gw anggap cs, huu (oh)
Berbagi waktu dan sepedaan
Ku masi mendengar ocehan kalian di berbagai event tsb
Kita bercanda tawa di atas semua kebisingannya
Oh Tuhan, hamba ini dah g tau lgi mau gimana tau2 kami udahan
Karena, Engkau tau, mereka sejatinya masih shbt2ku, huu (oh-oh)

Gua tau kita ga perfect
Tpi gw blm pernah ngerasa setulus ini pada siapapun
Dan gw sgt g bisa kali bayangin
Betapa bisanya kalian fine2 aja sepeninggal gw
Sempat kepikiran dan gw yakin bgt kalau
Kalian ga bakal bermaksud demikian dari rumor gaje tentang gw
Selamanya akan shbtan, tapi intinya sekarang ku sendiri sj
Mana yg dulunya cees, skrng bahkan gw dah ga diajak lgi, kan? Wkwk

What made me buy another bike (the Ecosmo one) was that my previous bike was damaged. Also, because it couldn’t be repaired anymore, I just gave it to a bike repair shop. The repair shop took it apart, and luckily, I still had time to take pictures of the rest as souvenirs for me.

There are stickers (both from buses mania and majelisan) that we used to share attached to both bikes, if you look closely.
However, there are still some shared stickers from my remaining friends (see Verse 3) on the new bicycle.

In Verse 1, the song starts with sounds from a door key opening and jangling, a distant saxophone playing, and a bicycle pedalling that I recorded myself instead of using the original sound effects directly from “drivers license”. All of this represents changes from my previous phase of life, such as the surroundings, the boarding house itself, etc.

The bicycle pedalling sound itself has been added in every song’s section transition (and a key jangling at Verse 3) to give the nostalgic feeling within the silent part (no yapping) of the song.

Abu Nailah – High School in Insance Lyrics 5 months ago
Tidakkah kalian denger Mubarak bakal studi ke California?
Tahun 2020: Akhir dari Darussalam-nya gue
Awal tahun bakal anjlok sedikit lebih sulit
Soalnya, ya, COVID-19 memperburuk segala sesuatunya (kami bahkan gada wisuda, hayya)

Sempat bingung rasanya pen lanjutin sekolah kek mana
Makasi beut buat ortu, besfrends, dan guru2 saya
Dari merekalah terketemukan juga toh
Gua benci sumpa keingat waktu itu gua cuma gengsian doang

Jadi diadakanlah tes masuk, hampir ga ngelakuin apa2
Pas lagi ngerjain, panas otak gua (salah sendiri)
(gibberish), pada akhirnya lolos2 aja walau jadine siswa cadangan, hemh

Sekolah di MAN IC, agaknya Islami modern
Memiliki peluang besar untuk menjadi jenius religius bin independen
Kita pernah ‘duduk’ di sekul tsb, terima kasih kepada guru2 hebat kami
Ya, nampaknya sulit, tapi gua bakal lebih kuat

Sekolah di MAN IC, kek another level aja gitu
Gua ga suka aja dah dilakuin kek gini, ngarep2 lebih pinter, lol
Suka ga suka ama mapelnya, dan begitu juga gue
Itu bisa berakhir berbeda; tergantung orangnya, ya, sekolah menengah di Insance

MK nugas kelompok, gua seringnya nyampah doang
Ga di prestasi jga temenan sama aja, kek serasa ga diajak (bprn gw-nya)
Saking gabudnya kek gada yang bisa gua kontribusiin
Kebiasaan ‘nopeng’; aslinya, ya, penyakitan bin capee

Kek gitulah aink, tetapi mereka masi baik bgt ke gua
Gua cuma kek ga bisa nyempurnain buat…
Terlihat lebih baik seiring beranjak dewasa
Apakah saya lebih baik sekarang karena hal itu?

Sekolah di MAN IC, agakne Islami bin modern
Bisa menjadi si ‘prestasi-mandiri-Islami’ (Islami terakhir, ygy //jk)
“Didadak, diduduk, dan dididik,” tenqyu bin syukron, ustaz-ustazah
Yea, nampaknya rumit sie, mo ga mau harus stay seterong

Sekolah menengah atas di IC, kompetitif dalam berbagai hal
Gak lek aja dah dijadiin begini, harap2 ramah, ya, bundz
Suka ga suka ama berbagai event-nya, yea, gw jg
Jalannya bisa beda bergantung pada kaliannya kek mana di IC-nya

Terdapat ex-bsf (alias putus shbt; yg dah tau diem aj)
Seinget gua break up pas Oktober
Sekarang, we lanjut di Jogja (ISIYK uwuwuw)
Sad, bro, ga bisa lagi shbtan kitanya (y udh lh)

Taun2 ini temenan ama adkel (kek ginilah bisa ketemu temen2 loe, woey; OMG, kwkwk)
Pindahnya bulan Mei ato lebih (klo ga slh)
Walau dah buat gua mubazir-in air mata gw
Setidaknya, ya…, cukup tw

Cekula di MAN ICek, +62 berflower
Anti ama demoralisasi dan kehasadan (masya Allah, tabarakallah)
Kadang broken hert, kadang jadi si paling “senangnya hatikuh”
Bangga dpt segalanya dgn sulit, jdi gw bakal lbh kuat (angfah imyacght?)

Esemah di Insan Cendekia, “Kaga, deh,” tau-tau dah angkat kaki
Tanya diri loe kapan mau peduli; apa bahkan loe berani, huh?
Ucapkan terima kasih kepada ibu & ayahmu, toh kita jg dah, “Fine!”
Pada akhirnya bisa beda, Gb; “Bakal selesai, po?” That’s it: Sekolah di MAN IC (klo kata gua, sie; fyi, gua di IC Batam, ygy)

🎧 Analysis of “High School in Insance” by Abu Nailah
Prescript: If the previous section tends to be more about its compositions, techniques, and of their kind, this section tends to be more about the lyrics deeply.

Introduction
“High School in Insance,” Abu Nailah’s poignant reimagining of NIKI’s “High School in Jakarta,” transforms a globally resonant coming-of-age narrative into a deeply personal reflection on his formative years in an Islamic modern high school. This cover, laden with raw vulnerability, humor, and bittersweet admissions, navigates the complexities of adolescence, self-worth, friendship breakdowns, and spiritual growth within a uniquely Indonesian educational context. Abu’s lyrical adaptation balances critique and gratitude, crafting a song that is simultaneously a confession, a farewell, and an ode to resilience.

Verse-by-Verse Interpretation
🔹 Verse 1:
“Didn‘t you hear Mubarak‘s will go ‘broad to California?…”
The song opens with conversational realism, referencing peers moving abroad and the end of his time at ITDar (an abbreviation of his previous school). The sudden intrusion of COVID-19 intensifies the chaos of freshman year, shifting youthful excitement into isolation and disappointment. His sarcastic laughter about cancelled graduations hints at internalised sadness masked by humour. Gratitude towards family, friends, and teachers weaves through his frustration, anchoring his instability with communal support.

🔹 Pre-Chorus 1:
“So, there’s a test (a test), almost done nothin’…”
This segment illustrates academic burnout: tests blur into meaninglessness, yet fleeting interactions with friends remain mentally impactful (“had my brain burnin’”). His sigh at being a reserve student adds a tone of self-deprecation, revealing insecurities about his rank and perceived worth.

🔹 Chorus 1:
“High school in Insance, sorta Islamic modern…”
Here, Abu defines “Insance” (likely a stylised pseudonym for his school) as a place of both intellectual and spiritual cultivation. The juxtaposition of “genius independent religious” and the admission of feeling inadequate reveals his struggle with the high standards imposed. The refrain, “Yeah, livin’ under that was tough, but I will be stronger,” embodies his core theme of reluctant growth amid harsh expectations.

🔹 Verse 2:
“When in group tasks, I’m often being such a burden…”
This verse delves into social self-perception: the narrator feels uninvited, incompetent, and emotionally exhausted, despite outward appearances. His confession, “I lied in being; inside, I was sick and got so tired,” carries intense vulnerability, suggesting silent battles with mental health or burnout.

🔹 Pre-Chorus 2:
“I was it, but they were still being nice…”
Here, he recognises kindness from peers despite his perceived failures. The rhetorical question, “Am I better now that I’m older?” conveys a deeper anxiety about personal growth, maturity, and the gap between expectation and reality.

🔹 Chorus 2:
“High school in Insance, competitive on kinds…”
This chorus reiterates the duality of love/hate towards his school: gratitude for teachers coexists with lingering resentment for how it made him feel lesser or unkind. “It could’ve ended differently; you decide it,” implies acceptance of responsibility while also questioning systemic influences.

🔹 Bridge:
“Someone is being my ex-best friend…”
A tonal shift to intimate storytelling occurs here, revealing the ending of a significant friendship, likely in October, adding to his emotional upheaval. College life in Jogja and newfound friendships with juniors emerge as a bittersweet healing process. The line, “I’m so sad I can’t count on you anymore,” conveys abandoned dependence. Yet, he acknowledges closure with gratitude: “I’m glad that we gave it a go.”

🔹 Chorus 3:
“High school in Insance, Indonesia in flower…”
The final chorus broadens to national pride (“Indonesia in flower”) while affirming resilience against negativity. Despite feeling “quite heartbroken” behind smiles, he asserts the toughness of his journey as formative strength. The final rhetorical challenge, “Would you make it? Yeah, high school in Insance,” leaves listeners contemplating their own high school experiences, choices, and regrets.

Abu Nailah – Cycling Remains (Reimagined Olivia Rodrigo) Lyrics 6 months ago
“cycling remains”—a reimagined song cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license”—is a deeply personal and atmospheric piece that reflects on lost friendships, emotional distances, and the haunting nostalgia of a life that keeps moving forward despite inner grief. Rumored about NDC in my current home of Jogja, the song uses vivid imagery, such as glare-colored buses, cycling memories, and glimpses of ex-best friends to paint a poignant portrait of longing.

Originally, the song features a sparse piano-led arrangement, ambient textures, and soft rhythmic elements that evoke introspection and emotional vulnerability—elements that are still present in this particular cover. However, to reimagine the original, this track blends all that with traditional Indonesian elements, featuring the melodic tones of the basuri—a trumpet-like horn associated with local buses—interwoven with modern instrumentation. Incorporating Islamic musical nuances, such as duffs and hadrah chanting, adds a spiritual dimension, reflecting communal gatherings and the solace in shared rituals.

Sound effects, including bicycle movements, door unlocking, and distant fireworks, enrich the narrative, marking transitions in the artist’s life, such as moving to a new boarding house near campus and the onset of a new year. The song concludes on a D minor chord, leaving listeners in a contemplative state, mirroring the unresolved emotions and the cyclical nature of reminiscing.

A more detailed meaning by Melobyte:

These lyrics depict the aftermath of a friendship ending and the feelings of betrayal and sadness that come with it. The speaker reminisces about the good times they shared with their friend, riding bikes through villages and laughing together. However, things have changed, and the speaker now cycles alone past their friend’s street, feeling the loss deeply.

The lyrics convey a sense of longing and disbelief that the friendship has come to an end. The speaker struggles to understand how their friend could be okay with the separation, especially after everything they went through together. The repetition of the phrase “best friends forever” highlights the irony of the situation and the reality that friendships can sometimes fade away.

The use of imagery, such as seeing the friend’s face in buses and hearing their voice at parties, adds depth to the emotional impact of the lyrics. The speaker is haunted by memories of their friend and finds it difficult to move on from the loss.

Overall, these lyrics capture the raw emotions that come with the end of a close friendship and the struggle to come to terms with it. The sadness and longing expressed in the song make it relatable to anyone who has experienced the pain of losing a friend.
