They Were Past Mistakes

Unveiling the meaning behind the song "Past Mistakes" by Mr. Stayman.

The song Past Mistakes isn't just a song for me, if you think about it, it's more of an achievement lol. Basically, this is about the moment of reminiscing all 175 people you've had romantic feelings with and declaring them as historical mistakes that led you to who you are in love with now.

"When they call my name, I will run to you"

I treat love as a veryyy serious factor of my life. I have loved a lot of people (may that be romantically or not), and the common denominator of those scenarios is that they never give the love back. Then I finally received it back, and that's when I really felt all the kaleidoscope of words, emotions, lyrics, and songs I dedicated to the past of mine.

"I gambled all my dimes. I lost, but it's worth it."

This is my favorite lyrics from the song. In life, it's never a go-with-the-flow script, but a risk-it-and-find-out survival game show. All the heartbreaks make you feel that you've given everything that you had left, but the truth is all the love inside your body will refill up and you will share it to the right person.... someday.

P.S. it's fun to write stuff like these when you have the most chaotic history of love ever ;)

Sincerely yours,

Mr. Stayman
