Same Old Scene
Eternal Echoes: Unveiling the Transience of Love in Roxy Music's Same Old Scene
Lyrics
Nothings last forever
Nothing remains permanent or eternal.
Of that I'm sure
The speaker is certain about the impermanence of things.
Now you've made an offer
Someone has presented an offer or proposition.
I'll take some more
The speaker is willing to accept more of what's being offered.
Young loving may be
Love during youth might be harsh or unkind.
Oh so mean
Young love can be cruel or unforgiving.
Will I still survive
Questioning whether the speaker will endure.
The same old scene?
Wondering if the speaker will survive the repetitive cycle of experiences.
In our lighter moments
Referencing rare moments of happiness or levity.
precious few
Those joyful instances are few and scarce.
It's all that heavy weather
Referring to difficult or trying circumstances.
We're going through
Expressing enduring challenging situations.
When I turn the corner
When the speaker experiences a turning point or change.
I can't believe
The speaker finds it hard to believe the situation remains unchanged.
It's still the same old movie
Comparing life to a recurring, persistent film or scenario.
That's haunting me
That recurring theme continues to trouble or preoccupy the speaker.
Young loving may be
Love experienced in youth might be harsh or unkind (repeated theme).
Oh so mean
Reiterating that young love can be cruel or unforgiving.
Trying to revive

The same old scene
Struggling to restore the same recurring situation or experience.
Young loving may be
Reiteration of the idea that love during youth might be harsh or unkind.
So extreme
Emphasizing the extreme nature of young love.
Maybe we should try
Suggesting a consideration to experience the same recurring situation.
The same old scene [Repeats]
Repeating the idea of revisiting the same old scenario.
Nothings last forever
Reiterating the transient nature of things.
Of that I'm sure
The speaker reaffirms their certainty about impermanence.
Now you've made an offer
Referring again to an offer or proposition made by someone.
I'll take some more
Expressing willingness to accept more of what's being offered.
