Yesterdays

Remember that movie taken from a comic book called The Amazing Spider-Man?

Yesterdays - Switchfoot

Flowers cut and brought inside
Black cars in a single line
Your family in suits and ties
And you're free

The ache I feel inside
Is where the life has left your eyes
I'm alone for our last goodbye
But you're free

I remember you like yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone, oh...
I remember you like yesterday, yesterday
And until I'm with you, I'll carry on

Adrift on your ocean floor
I feel weightless, numb, and sore
A part of you in me is torn
And you're free

I woke from a dream last night
I dreamt that you were by my side
Reminding me I still had life
In me

I'll carry on
Every lament is a love song
Yesterday, yesterday
I still can't believe you're gone
So long my friend, so long

Losing someone close to you, you don't realize they love you so dearly until they are gone. For Peter, it was his uncle Ben. The pain Peter felt, to know he could have stopped his uncle's death, sometimes it was better off not knowing right?

Maybe his guilt wouldn't be there.

Just revenge. Hatred.

What if Peter did have his revenge? He killed his uncle's killer. Who does he have to hate now? Hate, unfortunately doesn't just disappear gradually. It slowly consumes, and it consumes. Until there is only that hatred, the hatred for nothing.


The song says, 'Reminding me I still had life, In me'.

If you're feeling down/lonely/upset, think of the great times of the past you've had. Re-live the moment in your head.

I still can't believe you're gone.
