Savour the View
Savour the Memories: A Poetic Journey through Life's Battles
Lyrics
Life may have dealt us one more useless hand
Life has dealt us a series of difficult situations or challenges that seem pointless or without value.
As the ghosts of our memories dance on the sand
The memories of the past linger and move around like ghosts, possibly representing moments that haunt or stay with them.
You won every battle but grew tired of the war
Despite winning battles or overcoming struggles, there's a weariness or disillusionment with continual conflict, leading to the decision to depart.
So you left as a hero last night
Departure occurred recently, with the person leaving being regarded as a hero in their absence.
All of my idols were poets like you
The songwriter's idols were poets who possessed the ability to use words to help and support others.
They could always find words to pull anyone through
These poets had a talent for offering words that could uplift and assist anyone in challenging situations, whether through music or friendship.
Any rough situation through music or friendship
The importance of having a heart as kind and valuable as the departed person's is emphasized for everyone.
Everyone needs a heart of gold like yours
Now the world's a darker place without you here, my friend
The world feels darker and sadder without the departed friend's presence.
What I'd do to see your face again
The songwriter deeply wishes to see their friend's face once more, indicating a profound sense of loss.
At the top of Moor Road, take the old 362
A specific route is mentioned, indicating a place where they plan to meet or reunite.
And when you get on I'll be waiting for you
The songwriter waits for the friend at a designated location, possibly for a reunion or to reminisce.
In a seat by the window, where we can both savour the view
The desired meeting place has a seat by the window, allowing both individuals to enjoy and appreciate the scenery together.
And then you'll spill our cider all over your jeans
A playful or clumsy moment is envisioned, where the friend spills cider on their jeans during the reunion.
As the bus driver screams "get your feet off the seats"
A humorous scene on a bus is described, where the friend's actions prompt a reaction from the bus driver.
And we'll laugh like we used to when we were just shy of 18
Recollection of past laughter and carefree moments when they were close to 18 years old.
One day I'll meet you on a stool by the bar
A future hope or plan to meet again at a bar.
So dust off that old Sheraton guitar
Encouragement to the friend to retrieve and play an old guitar for a music session together.
To the old White Lion, singing songs by The Clash
Reference to a specific place and activity involving singing songs by The Clash at a particular establishment.
For another night around Orrell, out on the lash
Mention of a location and the desire for another night of revelry and enjoyment in that area.
And we'll relive the mischievous days of our youth
Desire to revisit and relive the adventurous days of their youth together.
Sitting on Abbey Lakes with the Orrell Punx Crew
Recollection of shared moments with a group called the "Orrell Punx Crew" in a specific place, Abbey Lakes.
Whats-er-name drinking cider while you sat beside her
Remembrance of a person ("Whats-er-name") drinking cider while sitting beside the friend during past times.
Singing all the old songs that we knew
The joy of singing old familiar songs together during those remembered times.
Back when we stood together and we moshed in the pit
Recollection of times spent together engaging in energetic, close-range dancing at concerts.
We sang "Everything's important but we don't give a shit"
Adoption of a carefree attitude towards life's complexities and challenges during their younger days.
Back when we were just too young to know the true meaning of it
Reflecting on a time when they were unaware of life's deeper meanings due to their youth.
