Captured
A Radio With Guts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
they've faded fast away
surprised i can still recall my name
forgotten places and distorted blurry faces
such a shame
shame shame shame
this camera captures only images
light on paper bound to fade
the things that time erased
what must i do to capture you
my brain still haunts me with your memory
a million miles away
do you remember everything
regrets and praises and some awkward conversations
cant find the phrase
my pen cant find your face
this ink it captures simple paragraphs
light on paper bound to fade
sweet sad sounds cant replace
the things we shared those days
The lyrics of A Radio With Guts’s song Captured delve into themes of memory, nostalgia and fading recollection. The first stanza talks about how the singer’s brain can no longer retain certain memories that have blurred and faded away. Even though the singer can still recall their name, certain people and places have been forgotten leading to a feeling of regret and disappointment that permeates the song. The lines “this camera captures only images, light on paper bound to fade, sweet snapshots can’t replace the things that time erased” talk about how photographs and memories can only hold onto a fleeting moment and not preserve the emotions and feelings of that time.
The second stanza still brings up the theme of remembering something gone by but with a more personal element to it. The singer’s brain continues to harbor memories of a person who they are separated from by physical distance. Through lines like “my pen can’t find your face, this ink it captures simple paragraphs, light on paper bound to fade, sweet sad sounds cant replace, the things we shared those days” the song talks about the singer’s attempts to hold onto memories in different ways like writing but nothing seems to be enough. The last line “the things we shared those days” talks about lost intimacy, and it becomes clear that the person the singer is referring to is someone they were once close with but have lost touch now.
