All The Memories
Classic Crime Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look at me with eyes
Beat the sunrise in a contest, no question
Well, talk to all the others
And bring me back to earth
I'm thankful for your mother for what it's worth
Framed in our minds like photographs
Take a second, take a second and make this last
Here where the future meets the past
I can never fall in love again
I can never fall in love again
I can't stop moving 'cause I'll feel dead
Give me a second
And I'll turn into a year that you won't forget
We'll make them read our stories
And we'll make them eat their words
We'll make their lives seem boring for what it's worth
Oh, all the memories we had
Framed in our minds like photographs
Take a second, take a second and make this last
Here where the future meets the past
I can never fall in love again
I can never fall in love again
I'll drink your poison and say
I'm still not going away
I'll swallow all your bombs and grenades
And love you like a tsunami wave
Wave, wave
Oh, all the memories we had
Framed in our minds like photographs
Take a second, take a second and make this last
Here where the future meets the past
And I can never fall in love again
I can never fall in love again
Oh, all the memories
Framed in our minds
Take a second, take a second and make this last
Here for a while
I can never fall in love again
I can never fall in love again
Oh, all the memories
Framed in our minds
Take a second, take a second and make this last
Here for a while
I can never fall in love again
I can never fall in love again
Again
The lyrics of Classic Crime's "All The Memories" seem to be about a relationship that has ended, but the memories of the good times still linger. The singer seems to be struggling to move on, saying "I can never fall in love again". They also seem to have a bit of a destructive streak, saying they "can't stop killing songs you like" and "swallow all your bombs and grenades", perhaps representing their tendency to ruin good things in their life.
However, the chorus highlights the value of memories: "all the memories we had, framed in our minds like photographs, take a second and make this last, here where the future meets the past". This suggests that even though the relationship is over, the memories are worth holding onto and cherishing. The final lines of the chorus, "here where the future meets the past", could represent the idea that the memories can inform and guide future actions and relationships.
Overall, the song seems to be about the bittersweet nature of memories, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship while still holding onto the positive memories.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't stop killing songs you like
I can't help but ruin the things you enjoy
You look at me with eyes
You stare at me with emotive eyes
Beat the sunrise in a contest, no question
Winning a challenge against the sunrise is undeniable
Well, talk to all the others
Go ask everyone else
And bring me back to earth
Return me to reality
I'm thankful for your mother for what it's worth
I appreciate your mother for what she's done
Oh, all the memories we had
Recollection of our past moments
Framed in our minds like photographs
Memories are captured in our minds like pictures
Take a second, take a second and make this last
Let's savor the moment and make it last
Here where the future meets the past
This is where the future intersects the past
I can never fall in love again
I am incapable of loving again
I can't stop moving 'cause I'll feel dead
If I stop doing things, I'll feel lifeless
Give me a second
Allow me a moment to process
And I'll turn into a year that you won't forget
I'll make an impact that you'll remember for years
We'll make them read our stories
We'll write tales they have to read
And we'll make them eat their words
We'll force them to acknowledge they were wrong
We'll make their lives seem boring for what it's worth
We'll make their life seem dull for what little it's worth
I'll drink your poison and say
I'll deal with your toxicity and still remain
I'm still not going away
I'll stick around despite it all
I'll swallow all your bombs and grenades
I'll take on all your attacks
And love you like a tsunami wave
I'll love you with immense force
Oh, all the memories
All the great times together
Here for a while
They'll be here for some time
I can never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again
