Ephemera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the people you never call
and find the best excuse
to the friends you're about to lose
do it even though
you can't stand the pain
do it even though
there'll be no balloons nor champagne
but rain
tell them you were wrong
about the name of that song
tell them that you took
that poem from a book
do it even though
you will never feel the same
do it even though
it will leave spots on your name
and you will blush with shame

Despite the pain and the acknowledgement that there will be no celebration or recognition for her efforts, the singer is determined to make amends.
The lyrics encourage a confession of guilt and a willingness to be vulnerable. The singer encourages telling friends that they were wrong about the name of a song and admitting that a poem was copied from a book. Despite the risk of leaving a spot on one's name and possibly feeling ashamed, the singer encourages the confession to be made.
Overall, the song encourages confronting uncomfortable truths and accepting the consequences that come with admitting guilt. The tone can be interpreted as regretful but hopeful, in that the singer is taking steps to make amends even if the outcome is uncertain.
Line by Line Meaning
wave your hand at all
Acknowledge all the people you've distanced yourself from
the people you never call
The people you've lost touch with
and find the best excuse
Find the ultimate alibi
to the friends you're about to lose
To mend your friendship before it's too late
do it even though
Take action even if it's uncomfortable
you can't stand the pain
The unease and discomfort it may cause
there'll be no balloons nor champagne
You won't be celebrated for making things right
no flowers for you
Nobody is going to congratulate you
but rain
All you'll receive is the cleansing power of rain
tell them you were wrong
Admit your mistake
about the name of that song
About a small detail
tell them that you took
Confess that you plagiarized
that poem from a book
That you didn't write it yourself
do it even though
Face the consequences head-on
you will never feel the same
It may impact your relationship with the person forever
it will leave spots on your name
Your reputation might be tarnished
and you will blush with shame
You'll be humiliated and embarrassed
