Cover art for Day Old Hate lyrics by City and Colour

Obviously lyric meanings are vaslty different to everyone who listens to a song, but to me two lines in this song stand out: "Now you still speak of day old hate, though your whole world has gone up into flames". To me it seems like he's saying that this person is focusing so much on how people have wronged them in the past, that they can't see whats happening in their life now. They're looking back on the "hate" that have for people in their past that have done them wrong, and aren't focusing on their current situation. I think it's important for us to remember to let go and move on.
