Discover the story of the song > 1955 – Hilltop Hoods

The song is about a small town where time seems to move slower than the rest of the world. The locals like to philosophize on benches and give advice, even though they might not know much. The protagonist feels out of place, as if he's stuck in the past, but still considers the town his home no matter where he goes. The chorus emphasizes the feeling of being stuck in time and living in the shadow of the Cold War.
