A Picture to Remember
Capturing Fragments of Longing: A Picture to Remember by Urban Lights
Lyrics
Hey you looking so damn pretty
Expressing admiration for the person's appearance.
I met you once before but cannot
Acknowledging a previous encounter but unable to recall the person's name.
Figure out your name
Expressing difficulty in remembering the person's name.
Sadly it's how I treat you girls
Acknowledging a pattern of not treating girls well and expressing a desire for change.
But I just want it to change want it to end… to end
Expressing a strong desire for a positive change in behavior.
And then you stare at me like I'm some kind
Feeling judged and hurt by the way someone looks at them.
Of animal and it hurts
Describing emotional pain and the feeling of being trapped.
‘cause I'm trapped inside a cage.
Metaphorically describing the emotional confinement.
And you, I'm falling out of pieces now
Addressing someone and expressing emotional turmoil.
I'm holding on to every cloud
Symbolizing holding on to hope despite challenges.
I'm falling down, I 'm falling down tonight.
Describing a sense of falling down emotionally.
I know now that I am really not that strong
Admitting vulnerability and a lack of strength.
I wish I could just change it all
Expressing a wish for a complete change in circumstances.
All I want is to forget the past
Desiring to move on from the past.
I need a picture to remember
Expressing a need for a visual reminder of happier times.
There was a time when I came back home
Reflecting on a time when communication was strained.
And you didn't even really wanna talk to me
Noticing a lack of interest from someone important.
I guess you know that this is who I am
Acknowledging personal identity despite external perceptions.
But deep inside it's just how I feel
Highlighting internal emotional conflict.
Every time I'm falling down gotta pick myself up again
Expressing resilience and the determination to bounce back.
So I get back to the club and say Ohh
Returning to a familiar environment (club) with experience.
I've been there I've done that
Recalling past experiences and choices.
And I'd do the same shit all over again
Acceptance and readiness to repeat past mistakes.
I don't know how to STOP…. Ohh and she says
Expressing confusion and a lack of control.
That I told you I want you so bad
Quoting someone expressing desire but acknowledging reality.
But I'm wasting my time be’cause you're not the one.
Acknowledging a mismatch in feelings and reality.
I know it's been a while but I can’t seem to find you anywhere
Expressing difficulty in finding someone.
But I’m still trying as hard as I can
Persisting in efforts despite challenges.
But baby I gotta find you now ‘cause I'm dying of the pain
Expressing urgency and desperation to find someone.
And I'm feeling like I'm closer than tonight
Feeling a sense of proximity to a resolution or reunion.
All I want… is a picture… a picture to remember.
Reiterating the desire for a memorable visual reminder.
