Switchfoot: Souvenirs Meaning

Song Released: 2011
Souvenirs Lyrics
-
To me this song is about a love one passing and when you look back in all your memories and everything you have left of them are your souvenirs. And where it says “ We were so young we had no fears” it’s about how when you’re younger you’re just living and don’t realize how limited time is. No fears about anything. I recently lost a loved one and to me this is what the song is.

I think this song is about old friends (or any past relationship) who grow apart and move on with their lives. But they still have fond memories (or souvenirs- treasured reminders of past good times) of their time together. We never lose those. Even though life continues to happen and progress. Nothing lasts forever and I think this song is a very nostalgic, poignant reminder of that.
