We Got Used to Us Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Snoardur 

Cover art for We Got Used to Us lyrics by Riverside

I personally feel that not only are the lyrics about a failed relationship, but also a veiled criticism to the banality and superficiality of many of the human interactions labeled as "love" nowadays.

"When I scroll back through our recent days" Choosing the word SCROLL is not random here: i feel like the writer is almost scrolling through pages of some shit like facebook or something recalling the promises of perfect love.

"We pretend we're OK, surrounding ourselves with one-way friendships and so-called friends" "We pretend we're OK by filling up our inner space with little hates and so-called love"

Here he also critices the tendency of filling the void with false relationships.

The point is that he and her no longer comunicate, and they are slowly getting used to it. But the writer really does not want to feel like that; perhaps deep down he does not want to feel like it was "just one more" relationship, and that he can just keep on living life like nothing happened and forget everything. Sadly, he still holds the illusion that she might run back to him again.
