Atmosphere - Yesterday Lyrics






[V1]
I thought I saw you yesterday
But I didn't stop, 'cause you was walkin' the opposite way
I guess I could've shouted out your name
But even if it was you, I don't know what I would say
We could sit and reminisce about the old school
Maybe share a cigarette, because we both fools
Chop it up and compare perspectives
Life, love, stress and set-backs, yes
So you could tell me how hard you had it
And you could show me all the scars to back it
And we could analyze each complaint
Break it down and explain these mistakes I make
I like to tangle up the strings of the puppetry
But you knew me back when I was a younger me
You seen Sean in all types of light
And I've been meanin' to ask you if I'm doin' alright

[Chorus x2]
Yesterday
Was that you? Looked just like you
Strange thangs my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you?

[V2]
I'm shook, I know, I pushed when I should've pulled
Took it all back if I could, I put that on my soul
And I would make a top-notch good listener
If you could block-off a little time out to give it here
Since we went our separate paths
I've hit a couple snags that remind me of the past
I can't front, I'm havin' a blast
But damned if I ain't afraid of how long it's gonna last
Sittin' here wishin' we could kick it
Give me your opinions, I do miss the criticisms
I didn't mean to be distant, make a visit
I'll wait up and keep the coffee brewin' in the kitchen
But who am I jokin' with?
There's no way that you and I will ever get to re-open it
It doesn't matter, this is more than love
And maybe if I'm lucky, get to see you out the corner of

[Chorus x2]
Yesterday
Was that you? Looked just like you
Strange thangs my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you?

[V3]
And when you left, I didn't see it comin'
I guess I slept, it ain't like you was runnin'
You crept out the front door slow
And I was so self-absorbed I didn't even know
And by the time I looked up it was booked up
Put it all behind you, the bad and the good stuff
A whole house full of dreams and steps
I think you'd be impressed with the pieces I kept
You disappeared but the history is still here
It's why I try not to cry over spilt beer
I can't even get mad that you're gone
Leavin' me was probably the best thing you ever taught me
I'm sorry, it's official
I was a fist-full, I didn't keep it simple
Chip on the shoulder, anger in my veins
Had so much hatred, now it brings me shame
Never thought about the world without you
And I promise that I'll never say another bad word about you
I thought I saw you yesterday
But I knew it wasn't you, 'cause you passed away, dad

Looked just like you
Strange thangs my imagination might do
Take a breath, reflect on what we been through
Or am I just goin' crazy 'cause I miss you?

  1. E.... R....

    shit. I’m only 25 I shouldn’t have lost you. never thought I’d end up relating to this even more.

  2. g.... g....

    i love you daddy 💙🙏🏽 12-14-19

    “you disappeared but the history is still here, it’s why i try not to cry over split beer. I can’t even get mad that your gone.. leaving me was probably the best thing you’ve ever taught me”

  3. L.... W....

    I lost my pops 10/20/2019. Other than my daughter dying this is the worst pain. He was my best friend. Fuck I miss him. My heart is literally 💔

  4. T.... ....

    It's been 7 years now and I'm still breaking down by the end.
    🖤 miss you dad

  5. P.... R....

    I was listening to some rap when I stumbled with this song. Kept listening to the lyrics wondering to whom they were directed, then it stroke me hard with that "Dad". Crying like a kid right now, hahaha.
    Good song.

  6. T.... M....

    what hilltop hoods song does this remind me of i’m fucking confused

  7. H.... ....

    Who would listen to this and then goes, yeah I dislike this.

  8. F.... S....

    The average listener will listen to this twice:
    The first time it's just an average sad song experience
    The second time, its once you realize he's talking about his dad.

  9. E.... E....

    10 years ago I lost my dad a week before my high school graduation. Killed himself shortly after I left to go to work.

    10 years of grieving, self blame, and a hurricane of emotions and I'm at a place of peace with the whole ordeal. This song, to me, is the perfect representation of where I'm at in the end. A peaceful, yet somber reflection over everything that happened.

    "I've been meaning to ask you if I'm doing all right "

    Hopefully I am, dad.

  10. M.... G....

    I know right

  11. J.... B....

    I think I just seen my ex today last time I spoke to her was when I locked up 😪 still reminiscing on them beautiful times ❤️

  12. E.... D....

    I miss you Dad

  13. A.... T....

    I fucking hate my fucking life

  14. W.... W....

    I miss my pops

  15. S.... V....

    They just don’t make music like this anymore

  16. G.... ....

    This went from a break up song to a father passed away song in one line. God damn. Sure heartbreaks suck but that's nothing compared to family dying. Even if that girl was his wife we didn't believe she was dead, only that they have seperated. This is further pushed by all the things he said he'd still like to do, making us think she's alive.

  17. T.... J....

    First time listening to this since my old man died. I'm making this comment before
    I even listen. I wonder what the Vegas odds will be if I cry or not. Plus I've had quite a bit of the Old number 7. Let's try not to cry.

    T.... J....

    Only took until 1:18. Vegas wins.

  18. D.... T....

    love you dad, 11/9/19. i'll always wanna call ya, but i know you're always listening

    D.... T....

    Wish you all the best fellow stranger.
    I'm missin' my old guy since april 2015 and still miss him.. I mean I'm doing alright, probably better than I ever have, but still sometimes life ends just way to early...

  19. M.... R....

    To my uncle r.i.p tio.

  20. m.... n....

    First time I heard this son at all, my husband shown it to me. I didn’t know it was going to end like that, my dad passed away not even a year ago.

  21. K.... ....

    Heard this song a week after my father past 2 years ago

  22. J.... G....

    Pops.......oh man........skins...............i love u my g

  23. S.... W....

    2k19 still here and will be every year

  24. S.... W....

    The fact that I'm a man and I can shamelessly admit that this made me cry says alot..

  25. c.... r....

    See the reason why this song hurts is because my dad I cant even see each other of how much fight. Even though we fight I would hate for us to feel the way I feel after listening to this song.

  26. O.... Y....

    damn thats hit like a uppercut from mike tyson

  27. A.... Q....

    Just lost my dad last week and this songs a great memorial song to him for me. Thank you for existing Atmosphere

  28. C.... B....

    It's 2019 and this song hits harder now than when it came out!

  29. C.... R....

    This song makes me wanna cry, so beautiful

  30. k.... ....

    Miss ya everyday dad.

  31. S.... P....

    rest easy dad missing you forever and always❤️

  32. T.... H....

    My husband just lost his bestfriend and this song gets me everytime. Even though it's about his father. This song relates to his bestfriend to a T.

  33. C.... K....

    Song hits so hard

  34. C.... P....

    I can definitely relate to this song after loosing my dad when I was 10 years old. It’s a very strange thing to see someone that looks like your dad after him passing. Definitely plays mind games with you

  35. A.... N....

    This song hit me like a slap in the face when i realised it was about his dad and I could totally relate

  36. M.... D....

    Me and a friend were reminiscing about our best friend we lost last year. His birthday just passed but at the time, I was hyper reflective and this song just came on one day when I was really struggling. I understand this song is about his dad but it was and still is too relevant to our friend.

  37. K.... ....

    I miss you pops Rest In Paradise 💛

  38. M.... J....

    Man can't believe I forgot about this song. Then outta nowhere I started humming with the piano.

  39. Y.... B....

    RIP grandpa toughest cat I know.

  40. b.... ....

    Before my dad passed away that was his assigned ringtone on my phone

  41. b.... ....

    I heard this song the night before I broke up with my ex of three years. So I thought it was about a girl. But when he said, "Dad" I was reminded of losing my mom 5 years before hand. Couldn't stop the tears that night.

  42. S.... D....

    my dad passed away last year and his birthday is coming up and i keep finding myself back at this song it still hurts so fucking much

  43. I.... A....

    My uncle was my father figure. He passed on my living room floor about a year ago. He's not my biological dad but this songs for him. Miss him so much.

  44. A.... J....

    This song fucccks me up everytme. I don't listen to it often. I couldn't imagine a world with out my dad...

  45. p.... ....

    danm i love this song when he said dad i cried in school danm that was embarrassing
    no regrets

  46. B.... M....

    My father committed suicide 8 years ago. We both used to jam to Atmosphere never thought I would resonate with them on this level. That line " I didn't mean to be distant make a visit I wait up and keep the coffee brewing in the kitchen." That line expresses a yearning to talk. I was 19 then and I'd give anything to know then what I know now.

  47. A.... W....

    RIP to my cousin Eric. 1997-2017. Love you forever and always.

  48. M.... S....

    I will love to talk to my abuelos just a couple minutes.

  49. e.... r....

    our english teacher showed us this. ever heard 30 teens gasp at the exact same time?

  50. M.... Y....

    RIP to my older brother... I'm sorry all I ever did was pick a fight. But I mean it when I rhyme along to the line "Never thought bout the world without u and I promise I'll NEVER say another bad word about u". Love you bro, rest easy.

  51. Z.... S....

    Damn...im a bit of a cold person, but damn....this song gets me every time.

  52. M.... B....

    Damnit I miss my dad...

  53. B.... E....

    Hug your dad and tell him you love him. You might not get another chance.

  54. J.... G....

    Man I love this guy, fucking incredible he made me wanna rap n get started 🙌

  55. o.... ....

    Fucking killing me right here

  56. a.... ....

    when a single word in a lyrics hits you harder than a fucking truck

  57. O.... T....

    The chills that run threw me everytime I listen to this..i lost my dad 2 years ago in a car accident..he was at a red light he called me 5 minutes b4 to tell me he was on hes was back to give me a ride to work..he never showed or called so I got a ride to work only to get stuck in traffic jus down the road to my job and I started to worry so I called my brother 2 see if he heard from him and he was talking to a deputy at his from door telling him dad was in a wreck... I miss my dad more and more everyday but as I sit here With one of his old work shirts on his memory and heart will always live threw me

  58. J.... R....

    I didn’t realize this song is this old

  59. A.... V....

    This song always makes me cry. Rest in peace dad.. We were under the same roof and yet didn't know a thing about each other...yet we were so much alike.. If I can go back I would redo everything .. This song speaks to my heart ❤

  60. F.... ....

    Yo I'm not ready... I'm not even 30 yet...

    I wish youd wake up. I already miss you.

  61. S.... ....

    My dad died 2 years ago when I was 19. This song still gets me every time

  62. d.... ....

    I know he says dad at the end, but this is the story of a childhood friend, how we parted ways, my regrets for creating distance, and knowing that we will never be able to reconnect due to circumstance, even though we have lived parallel lives in many ways...If any kids are here reading this, don't hurt your friends even if they come across a certain way to you, always keep it 100 cause a good friend is a hard thing to find.

  63. W.... ....

    Rest easy pops and happy Father’s Day

  64. S.... ....

    Missing you today dad! Happy Fathers Day!

  65. e.... s....

    happy fathers day. 2k19

  66. a.... i....

  67. D.... R....

    Last time I heard this song. I really liked it, but couldn't relate. Now in a couple of months it's gonna be the 2 year anniversary of my dad's passing. I really need this song right now.

  68. K.... ....

  69. V.... P....

  82. C.... A....

    Mufuckin 2019 wya?!

  83. l.... ....

    I don’t get how people listen to this shit

  84. E.... A....

    I remember the day I bought this CD, my friend and I were driving around in his car, smoking weed. When this track came up I thought he was talking about a girl, it hit me when I understood he was talking about his dad. It blew my mind. At that time I was living with my family (in Texas). Now it's been nine years since I last saw my dad and family(I got sent back Mexico). I thank God that my family is OK, I just wish I could see them again, I need them in my life. To those who still have their dad with them, give them a hug and a kiss, not everybody is lucky enough to see/have their dad with them. Greetings from Mexico y qué viva Atmosphere.

  85. F.... b....

    So many people including me thought he was talking about a girl

  86. F.... b....

    Plot twist at the end tho

  87. �.... A....

    I love my dad very much but unfortunately he just hasn't been a solid support. I'm 33 big buff and tuff but when it comes to my dad I'm teary eyed... I wish he hasn't choosen work for last 20 years before family.. I normally don't vent but this song hit the feelings hard.

  88. B.... m....

    When he brought up the verse bout his dad I got chills

  89. A.... ....

    I will become strong like you dad

  90. b.... c....

    ): i loved this song because it was just a vibe. Now i feel this song on a whole nother level. Rip dad 10/17/78 - 05/02/19

  91. s.... ....

    I never really knew my dad my whole life...I saw him when I was maybe 3 then I didnt see him until I was 14. 6 months later he passed away from cancer. He called a handful of times in my life and told me that he wanted to take me fishing (He loved fishing and so did I and still do). I never hated him for it and I still don't I always loved him and still do. He was a different kind of man and he meant no harm to any of his children, i know that, and I so wish that I had pushed my mom more to get him to come see us or for us to go visit him. When I hear this song it really hurts but I embrace it, I want to be reminded of him and I will never forget him...ever.

  92. B.... R....

    Lennon would have loved Atmosphere... maybe he's diggin' it on another plane... great stuff either way.

  93. o.... ....

    This song hit's with all kinds of feels... I found out at the beginning of this year that my biological father passed the year before. It's always spoke to me before but now even more so.

  94. C.... M....

    Todays my dear friends birthday, he passed away a couple of years ago. He would have been 23. I miss you man... this song brings me closer to him. I miss you so much.

  95. M.... E....

    Wish I could see you on the corner Travis rip

  96. T.... E....

    My dad is gone, hear my story https://soundcloud.com/suicidemethods/dad-come-back
