Old Pictures
Capturing Fragments of Time: Something for Kate's 'Old Pictures'
Lyrics
Let these pages fly away
Expressing a desire for detachment or release from something.
Flagpoles in the sun
Imagery of flagpoles in sunlight, possibly symbolizing memories or moments frozen in time.
Same Saturday
Reference to a specific Saturday, suggesting a particular day or event.
And reflected off a window is where you'll stay
The reflection in a window represents a lingering presence or memory.
Where you'll stay
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the presence in the reflection.
I turned you in
Acknowledging a decision to disclose or reveal something.
I turned you into whispers
Transforming the disclosed information into secretive or hushed conversations.
I turned you in
Reiterating the act of disclosure.
I turned you into old pictures
Conveying the transformation of the disclosed information into memories encapsulated in old pictures.
I build you out of nothing to have you near
Creating something meaningful or significant out of nothing to feel closeness.
I remembered you on trains
Recalling memories associated with trains.
So now you're on every train I hear
Linking the presence of the person to every train-related experience.
I turned you in
Repeating the act of disclosure and transformation into whispers.
I turned you into whispers
Continuing the secretive or discreet nature of the disclosed information.
I turned you in
Reiterating the act of disclosure.
I turned you into old pictures
Emphasizing the continued transformation into enduring memories portrayed as old pictures.
I wished that you were gone
Expressing a desire for the person to be absent or no longer present.
So you're gone
Confirming the absence of the person.
Let these pages fly away
Repetition of the desire for detachment or release from something.
Flagpoles in the sun
Reiteration of the imagery of flagpoles in sunlight.
Same Saturday
Repetition of a specific Saturday, reinforcing the significance of the day or event.
And reflected off a window is where you'll stay
Reiteration of the reflection in a window as a representation of a lingering presence or memory.
Where you'll stay
Re-emphasizing the enduring nature of the presence in the reflection.
I turned you in
Repeating the act of disclosure and transformation into whispers.
I turned you into whispers
Continuing the secretive or discreet nature of the disclosed information.
I turned you in
Reiterating the act of disclosure.
I turned you into old pictures
Emphasizing the continued transformation into enduring memories portrayed as old pictures.
