No Photos
Echoes of Forgotten Frames
Lyrics
Separate styles
Refers to distinct personal approaches or mannerisms.
They always clashed
They clashed consistently, indicating conflict or disagreement.
I learned to fake a smile
Learned to pretend happiness despite difficulties.
I learned to leave the scraps
Accepted scraps or remnants, possibly in relationships or situations.
I bought a Polaroid so we could hold to the past
Purchased a Polaroid camera to capture memories.
The film I now avoid cause I could not look at the flash
Avoids looking at the flash due to painful associations.
Off broken promises I took down the frames
Took down picture frames linked to broken promises.
Soft spoken honestness I still felt the same
Despite honesty, feelings remained unchanged.
I kept a memory inside of my case
Kept memories stored physically.
Now it's left empty and the moment's erased
Now the case is empty, moments erased or forgotten.
I don't have a single picture
Doesn’t possess any photos.
I don't have a single shot
Has not captured any moments.
I hate being sentimental
Dislikes sentimentality or emotional attachment.
Didn't care if I forgot
Indifference towards forgetting.
It just hurts me to remember
Remembering causes pain.
So I found a way to not
Found a way to avoid remembering to ease the pain.
And I got rid of the photos that we made before the stop
Disposed of photos taken before the cessation of something.
Contrasting colors
Refers to conflicting and vibrant colors.
They were too bright
Colors were too intense or contrasting.
There always was another
There was always another instance or occurrence.
There always was a fight
Conflict or disagreement was constant.
Our camera made you upset
The camera caused distress to the partner.
And me uptight
Caused tension or stress.
As pointless as a sunset that was shot in black and white
Compares a pointless sunset photo to an irrelevant moment.
Off broken promises I took down the frames
Removed frames connected to broken promises.
Soft spoken honestness I still felt the same
Honesty remained but feelings persisted.
I kept a memory inside of my case
Stored memories within a case.
Now it's left empty and the moment's erased
Now empty, memories are erased or forgotten.
I don't have a single picture
No existing photographs.
I don't have a single shot
No captured moments.
I hate being sentimental
Dislikes sentimentality.
Didn't care if I forgot
Indifference towards forgetting.
It just hurts me to remember
Recalling brings emotional pain.
So I found a way to not
Found a way to avoid remembering to reduce the pain.
And I got rid of the photos that we made before the stop
Disposed of photos taken before the end of something.
They say a picture's worth a thousand words
Common expression: A photo tells a lot, but in this case, it doesn’t.
But there was nothing worth to say
The captured moments lacked significance or meaning.
I didn't want to be heard
Didn’t want to express or communicate through photos.
I used to love to keep the memories but now they seem blurred
Previously cherished memories now seem unclear or distorted.
And why would I keep something safe
Why preserve something that worsens emotions?
That only made me feel worse
Keeping it safe causes emotional discomfort.
I don't have a single picture
None of the photos are kept.
I don't have a single shot
No captured moments exist.
I hate being sentimental
Dislikes sentimentality.
Didn't care if I forgot
Indifference towards forgetting.
It just hurts me to remember
Recalling causes emotional pain.
So I found a way to not
Found a way to avoid remembering to reduce the pain.
And I got rid of the photos that we made before the stop
Disposed of photos taken before the cessation of something.
