The song "Swing" by Stella Jang and Pleyn tells a story of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time. The song reminisces about childhood memories of swinging on a beach and reaching for the sky. The lyrics describe a swing that takes them higher and higher, away from the mundane world, to a place where they can forget their worries and just enjoy the moment. Throughout the song, there is a sense of sadness and loss, as the memories are just fleeting moments in time that can never be recaptured. The repeated line "Once upon a time" harkens back to classic fairy tales, where everything was perfect and happy. However, the reality is that the swing can never take them back to that idyllic time and the world has moved on. The lyrics also touch upon the importance of family and home. The singer hears the familiar voice of their mother, telling them to come home for dinner and saying goodbye for the night. The swing can only take them so far before they have to come back to reality and the responsibilities of everyday life. Overall, "Swing" is a bittersweet reflection on the past and the realization that time moves on, but the memories and experiences will always stay with us. It's a reminder to cherish the present and hold onto the things that matter most.
