Song Meaning of “From May to Now” by Glass Cloud
From May to Now tells a story of unrequited love in the wake of a broken relationship. The narrator, presumably the man in the relationship, is reflecting on the months that have passed since the two lovers parted ways. He acknowledges that he should move on but at the same time can’t see an end to his feelings.
The chorus reflects this through its repetition of the narrator asking “Why can’t I let go?” amid other questions seeking closure. The lyrics suggest that the narrator is ready to let go of the past but feels inexplicably tied to the person who no longer feels the same.The verses provide a picture of the narrator’s inability to shake off memories, longing for the good times they shared.
Despite acknowledging the love is fleeting and memories slowly fading away, the narrator admits he is still at a standstill, haunted by lingering thoughts of what could’ve been. Even after all this time, he still struggles to accept the fact that the love of his life can never return.
