A Fact Of Life
Fact Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel time has passed so quickly since I took the photograph.
Thanks for the memory that doesn't fade in my heart.
Look at us smiling in the photograph, you can see the secrets behind the fake smiles.
Thanks for the memory that doesn't fade in my heart.
The past was destroyed by you,
I'm not going to forget our truth was shadowed in the darkness of war.
I forgot about the time that there was somebody in my past,
I feel time has passed so quickly since I took the photograph.
Thanks for the memory that doesn't fade in my heart.
Look at us smiling in the photograph, you can see the secrets behind the fake smiles.
Thanks for the memory that doesn't fade in my heart.
The past was destroyed by you,
I'm not going to forget our truth was shadowed in the darkness of war.
The moment when it was destroyed is burned into histroy.
We can't rewind like a video.
Misleading future not required.
Only the weak among you will be sacrificed.
A false history is not necessary.
No matter what, isn't even a harsh future better than a history made by somebody else?
Don't you think so? [Repeat: x8]
The lyrics of "A Fact Of Life" by Fact deals with themes of memories, time, past relationships, and war. The song highlights the idea that time passes by quickly and memories are all that's left behind. The singer talks about a forgotten past where there was someone special, creating a memory that doesn't fade away, despite the destruction of their past. The photograph serves as a reminder of their past and the fake smiles seen in it, symbolizing the secrets hidden behind the good times, conveying the idea that not everything is always perfect.
The singer highlights the fact that the past was destroyed by someone, and they will not forget the truth that was shadowed during the war. The destruction of the past signifies the destructiveness of war and its impact on relationships. The singer emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the truth, even if it's harsh, rather than creating a false history.
Towards the end of the song, the idea of creating a misleading future is disregarded. Sacrificing the weak, forging a false history or fabricating the future is not necessary. Forging your own path, accepting your past and your flaws is essential.
Overall, the lyrics of "A Fact Of Life" showcase the struggles of coming to terms with oneself, acknowledging past relationships and struggling against the harshness of war.

小3の頃 親が好きでよくロックバンドのライブに連れてって貰っていた。
ここだけの話正直よくわからなかったし暑苦しいしで断れないし嫌々行ってた。
ただ、FACTのライブに連れてって貰った時[うるさい]と思ってた爆音が[格好いい]に変わった
その時は知らなかったけど、「サークルモッシュ」というものに観客に連れていかれてど真ん中で通るみんなとハイタッチしてめちゃめちゃ楽しかった。
解散した時も記憶があるが凄く悲しかった。
8年経ち高校生になった今、マンウィズの10周年を見てパッとFACTを思い出した。
YouTubeで検索して真っ先に出たこの曲を聞いた瞬間にライブ会場が頭の中にでてきた
本当こうやって動画に残る時代に生まれてよかった。あの感動を生で味わえててよかった
親に感謝してます

僕は、思い出の中に誰かがいたのを忘れていたんだ
あの写真を撮ってから、時間が随分早く流れた気がするよ
僕の心に、消せない思い出をありがとう
写真の中の僕らは微笑んでいるけど
君はその愛想笑いの裏に何かを隠していたんだね
僕の心に、消せない思い出をありがとう
君に壊されてしまった過去
忘れないだろう
僕らの真実は闇の中だ
焼き付いているのは、破壊されたその瞬間
ビデオのように巻き戻しはできないんだ
紛らわしい未来はもういらない
君の弱さは犠牲になるだけ
そんな歴史なら、僕はもういらない
何が何でも、辛くても未来はあるんだ
それは、他の誰かが作った歴史なんかよりも良いはずだろ？
そう思うだろ？

自分はつい2、3年前にFACTを知ったにわか中学生なので『FACTが～で、〜だから』なんて語れるような者ではないです。
ですが、純粋にこのメロディーとか歌詞とかとか歌い方とかプロモーションビデオとかが大好きです！！！
ライブに行ったことはないです。
グッズも1つも持っていません。
それでも、FACT解散がショックだと思ってました。
でもメンバーの皆さんが前向きに考えたのなら解散に賛成できます！
こんなにかっこいい曲をつくってくれてありがとうございました。
@user-ng2kl6rr9m
久しぶりに聴きにきました。
なんとも言えないんですけど懐かしい気持ちになり、昔のことふと思い出しました。
ただ今でも思ったのは何度聞いても
カッコいい…

今日ギャンブルで熱くなり17万負けました。 悲しみと絶望に打ち拉がれていましたが、学生時代に激ハマりしたこの曲をふと思い出し、サビを聞いた途端悲しみと絶望は消え、心に余裕が生まれました。明日、人生初のアコムで10万円だけ借りたいと思います。
@user-dp7bw8pq9e
3ヶ月でさらに負け額が膨らみ、リボが120万超えました。
銀行のフリーローン審査が通ったので、150万借りて120万返済します。
30はギャンプルします。
@furifuri60
30万の結果がちょっと気になる…
