Polaroid
Capturing Hearts in Frozen Moments: Polaroid by THE OUIJA BOARDS
Lyrics
If you juxtapose your picture next to mine
If you place your picture next to mine, comparing them
Would you look back twice?
Questioning whether you would take a second glance
The cassette still reads that you gave me long ago
A cassette still holds a message you gave long ago
The one where you said "hello"
Referring to a specific message where you greeted with "hello"
In your childhood voice
Recalling the sound of your voice from childhood
Frozen on tape
A moment captured on tape, preserving memories
You can hear your hearts first choice
Hearing the initial choice of your heart
Pull love out of the ether
Retrieve love from the intangible
Learn some things without a teacher
Learning important lessons without formal guidance
Pull love out of the ether
Reiterating the idea of extracting love from the ethereal
Souvenirs I still keep concealed
Keeping hidden mementos and memories
Still got the Polaroid that you gave me years ago
Maintaining a Polaroid received years ago
With our green and purple hair
Describing the Polaroid with colorful, distinctive features
Dancing 'round the waterfront pier
Revisiting memories of dancing around a pier
Dreading the New Years
Anticipating the New Year with reluctance
In your childhood voice
Reiterating the childhood voice captured on tape
Frozen on tape
Emphasizing the enduring quality of memories
You can hear your hearts first choice
Hearing the original choice of the heart once again
Pull love out of the ether
Repeating the idea of extracting love from the intangible
Learn some things without a teacher
Reiterating the concept of learning without a formal teacher
Pull love out of the ether
Emphasizing the act of pulling love from the ethereal realm
Souvenirs I still keep concealed
Continuing to keep cherished memories hidden
Sequestered in a dream
Describing a state of being isolated within a dream
Under a prehistoric tree
Under a very old tree, suggesting a timeless setting
There's a look you shot me once
Recalling a specific look received in the past
And I kept it in a box
Preserving that look in a box as a keepsake
Pull it out from time to time
Occasionally revisiting the memory to challenge one's own thoughts
Just to mess with my own mind
Playfully messing with one's own mind when feeling down
When I'm feeling kind of blue
Turning to familiar music to lift one's spirits
Headbang to songs like we used to
Engaging in a nostalgic activity from the past
You can hear your hearts first choice
Hearing again the initial choice of the heart
Pull love out of the ether
Repeating the act of extracting love from the intangible
Learn some things without a teacher
Reiterating the idea of learning without a formal teacher
Pull love out of the ether
Emphasizing the ongoing process of pulling love from the ethereal
Souvenirs I still keep concealed
Continuing to keep cherished memories concealed
