Discover the story of the song > Saigon – Luke Hemmings

The song talks about the protagonist reflecting on a past experience, likely a relationship, that he shared with someone in Saigon. He remembers the good times they had and how they wasted time being alone. Now he's facing the reality of what he turned away from and trying to revive those feelings, but it feels like there's nothing left of them. The chorus reflects how they're trying to hold onto the past, but ultimately they have to face the present and move on.
