The Kids From Yesterday is the most heartbreaking MyChem song

I was listening to the song on YouTube earlier when I read a comment by someone who had this sentiment. To me, the song always had a nostalgic feel that certainly did make me look back on my younger years, but now, after taking some time to reflect on it, I couldn’t agree more with the statement. I’m still in my 20s and these past few years have been the hardest on me because of the loneliness I have endured. My younger brother, who was my best friend, moved out of the house more than a year ago and ever since then my mental health has worsened. It seems to me that everyone in the house, even my own parents, is struggling with their own loneliness. Business is no longer booming for my dad and so he stays at the house more often than usual just watching TV alone downstairs while my mom is at work. To me, The Kids From Yesterday is a cruel reminder that I will most likely never have the love and warmth that I felt as a young boy ever again. All those summers spent with my siblings and cousins just hanging around and having fun… now we hardly ever see each other and I have been the one left behind. I have nobody. I still wish I was the kid from yesterday.
