Better Days
Echoes of Unheard Voices: The Psychedelic Furs' Melancholic Reflection
Lyrics
people call to say hello
People reach out to greet and connect.
they call to talk about the weather
Conversations revolve around mundane topics like the weather.
all the places i don't go
The singer avoids certain places.
they call to talk to me
People call to communicate with the singer.
they've got names without a face
People are known by names, but their faces are unfamiliar.
and they've got faces i don't see
Some people have recognizable faces that go unnoticed by the singer.
from the corners of my mouth
The singer's voice reveals emotions, possibly unintended.
i hear your voice come falling down
The singer hears someone's voice with emotional impact.
from the corners of my mouth
The impact prevents the singer from hearing their own voice.
can't hear myself at all
The singer struggles to hear themselves due to the emotional influence.
all my senses in a know
All the senses are overwhelmed and confused.
it gets too dark in here
The environment becomes too dark and stifling.
that i can't move
The darkness immobilizes the singer.
and i can't feel to touch
The singer loses the sense of touch.
and there's you standing in my clothes
The presence of someone else is felt in the singer's absence.
a perfect picture with you on my side
A perfect image is created when the significant other is by the singer's side.
i never let it show
The singer hides their true feelings.
from the corners of my mouth
Emotional impact is heard in the singer's voice.
i hear your voice come falling down
Someone's voice affects the singer emotionally.
from the corners of my mouth
The singer struggles to hear themselves emotionally.
can't hear myself at all
The singer is disoriented and unable to find stability.
i can't seem to find my feet
The singer is physically and emotionally unstable.
my body's shaking and
The singer experiences trembling in their body.
my tongue can't move
The singer struggles to articulate thoughts verbally.
i turn my head to speak
The singer turns to speak but encounters difficulties.
i hear you call my name
The singer hears their name being called.
i hear you calling me
The singer hears a call for attention.
on better days
Reference to a hopeful or positive time.
on better days
Repetition of the reference to better days.
from the corners of my mouth
Emotional impact is heard in the singer's voice.
i hear your voice come falling down
Someone's voice affects the singer emotionally.
from the corners of my mouth
The singer struggles to hear themselves emotionally.
can't hear myself at all
Emotional impact is heard in the singer's voice.
from the corners of my mouth
Someone's voice affects the singer emotionally.
i hear your vioce come falling down
Emotional impact is heard in the singer's voice.
from the corners of my mouth
The singer struggles to hear themselves emotionally.
can't hear myself at all
Repetition of the struggle to hear oneself emotionally.
