Fantômas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My smile, your name
Roof leaks, dim lights
Low rent, high tide
Boxsprings, spare change
Your scent, my ways
Your breath, my air
You're gone but I'm there
I'm gone but you're there
You're gone but I'm there
I'm gone but you're there
The lyrics of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me by Fantômas convey a sense of loss, emptiness, and nostalgia. The opening line, "Memories fade to gray," sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it suggests a sense of fading and dissolution. The repetition of the phrase "You're gone but I'm there, I'm gone but you're there," suggests a feeling of longing and a desire to be close to someone who is no longer present. The use of contrasting details such as "Roof leaks, dim lights, low rent, high tide," adds to the sense of a world that is both bleak and beautiful.
The imagery in the song is evocative and dreamlike, with references to "Fog lifts, I stare" and "Your breath, my air." The latter phrase suggests a connection between two people that goes beyond the physical realm, while the former shows the singer gazing out into a foggy, uncertain world. Overall, the lyrics of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me capture the sense of longing and loss that pervades the world of Twin Peaks, and offer a haunting reflection on the nature of memory and existence.

This is what I wrote in the comment section of YouTube today on Jim Bruer's 'Don't Mix Alcohol'
I was telling my supposed father about what it was like to work at the Beerstore, how the microbreweries would deliver independently from the big names. If my supposed father bothered to know me he'd probably have heard that information anyways. My name is Lisa Hoffman, but I never spent very much time with neither Ross nor his wife. It's been almost eight years I've been isolated and terrorized and denied answers and proper healthcare and my supposed father doesn't explain why and neither him nor his nasty wife cared when my life fell apart, but he does ask strange questions about my life now that he never bothered to before.
Remember when others used to call Tequila 'To Kill Ya'? And they put a worm in the bottom of some bottles, and now I get isolated and no doctor ever acknowledged what was coming out of my head before I lost everything.
They terrorized me these last eight years and made me homeless and look like a drug-addicted whore to justify what was done to me as a teenager. I'm not going to shut up about it until someone tells me the truth and gives me the proper healthcare and honest answers I deserve. They also stopped my menstrual cycle at the Toronto General Hospital. I don't tell them about the clicks and pain with my head because they didn't acknowledge it nine or ten years ago.

Today I decided to try and call my mom, I left a message with Peter, I actually spoke to Angelo and he didn't have any guilt or remorse in his voice. I told him I dont know why he ended up with two new cars and I went to the street but I think he's cruel and a coward. He said "okay" then I hung up. He has no guilty conscience, he had no care in his voice whatsoever. I'm disgusted by all of them. I really am and I hope he gets all the money and meat he can handle for ruining my life. He's not human and that's what I know about him now.
3.
I was thinking about them last night, Scott and Angelo. Sometimes I can't believe how evil they are to me, what they did to me. For years I was so mad and scared I didn't bother trying to call him, besides I realized what he was. I honestly don't know how he lives with himself. I don't believe any of them have a moral conscience or guilt whatsoever. I left a message for my mom, but she never answers and I doubt she'll call me back. It's cruel what these disgusting things do to people. Maybe one day he'll realize what a nasty, selfish person he is, but if he hasn't so far, I guess he never will.
4.
It's scary trying to confront those you know don't care. I have to go through it every time I'm around Ross. It's unbelievable what's happened my whole life really. I can't believe this government gets away with what they do.
5.
Sometimes I try to forget about it, just to have a mental break. Sometimes I can't. No matter what these disgusting things say about me, do to me and despite the fact they think they can fuck with my memories, I'll never forget what they did to me.

What I wrote on a 'Louis CK' video on YouTube about 'pot'.
My name is Lisa Hoffman and I am forty-five years old and my nickname given to me as a child by my cruel foster family was Loo. I was told that 'CK' stands for 'Confirmed Kill'. I am half asian and when I was only thirteen years old my nasty foster sister Kathy, whom I looked up to at that time took me to Calgary, gave me line of cocaine and had my identification. She has a big nose, I don't. She has green eyes, I have brown eyes and the last eight years I have been threatened and harassed and denied answers and proper healthcare.
I'm not going to let these things around me take the blame for something i never did as they seem to be doing, since they're not man enough nor just enough to give me verbalized answers.
Also considering what I've realized was done to my head and how healthcare supposed professionals were denying my health problems nine/ ten years ago, how I was terrified and isolated these last eight years, I think people should be told, especially if they partied with her in the past. Instead I had some strange traffic around me, no one to talk to for years and still don't, and I think they made a media circus that was a lie out of my misery that has been the last eight years. I think they're trying to blame me for what she did and I was only a kid.

I think the Rusts, my foster family were deliberatelt cruel and lied about my personality as a child and planned on me running from home to Kathy, I think I was never close to their extended family on purpose and I think I was never close to my supposed father's and wife's extended family on purpose. I went to the street and they all ended up with new cars. And as I was going to the street and after a nasty and weird divorce, I had to listen to my nasty step- mother whine about her niece's boyfriend going to jail and losing her house. You have no idea how shitty that is. They are all selfish and cruel and I won't shut up about it until I get some justice and acknowledgement.
8.
When I was with my husband or possibly just beforehand, I had visited my father and he handed my a birth certificate and said he found it with some of my stuff that was with some belongings that the Rusts had. I didn't really look at it carefully, thought it was strange, put it beside my bed in a box I was using as a nightstand and forgot about for years. When my life was falling apart I thought to take it with me and after a long while noticed it said 'No' instead of 'Ho' as most normal birth certificates use the first two letters of our name. I didn't ever use it, realized there was something weird about, and because my mom was charged with fraud when I was young and because random bills started appearing even though I paid all of them off before I left my apartment on Barker Ave, I burned it. I thought they were trying to accuse me of fraud. I also started to realize about how I had given my ID to my foster sister and started to realize about alot of health problems I was having. This government became so corrupt and I was being harassed and threatened, I stopped trying to tell the truth to doctors about my twitches and my head because somehow, even though I wasn't sexually active I ended up with avenereal disease. Strangely enough my foster sister when I went to her for help in Parry Sound, made a joke about a native nick-name that meant 'crusty meat-no-crusty underwear'. At that time I hadn't realized about my feminine problem nor did I understand what was happening to my life. It's disgusting and cruel what everyone around me did and I had to realize friends were not friends and family was not what they said they were.
9.
When I was up in Parry Sound Kathy lied to me and said she was living there for a year. That town is where I always said I wanted to live. I camped up there often. After I realized how she had lied. She came to visit me before my official divorce from Hamilton where she usually lived. Everyone at that time was lying to me and no one was helping me and would find excuses to kick me out or start random fights with no provocation. I know she's evil, I know she likes to gossip and often when talking about my foster cousins would say they're stuck-up and think they're better than everyone. I never responded. I don't like gossip and I know she used to tell others the same about me. When I was sad and abused at the foster home she would introduce me to her friends as a spoiled brat who always got her own way, which was bullshit. Whatever the reason I get denied justice, healthcare and answers, I've figured out it was planned since I was young.
Lesia Umanets
Fantomas should have performed in one of the episodes of Twin Peaks The Return.
clair bell
They should have been at the end of episode 8 as a pallet cleanser.
H Haney
Yes, I was disappointed, but maybe it was a bit too on the nose.
cusso113
Agreed
Maria Sanchez
Absolutely
Mori no Yujin
Lesia Umanets I was hoping for that every episode ☹️

I remember listening to the complete album over the radio when this album was about to be released. KXLU Los Angeles first played it in it's entirety. I was blown away because I never heard anything like it, that I called the station to find out who was this band. I still have my cd from 2001and I still listen to it. It's by far my favorite album from Fantomas...
Harry Blaser
Remember seeing Fantomas on their first tour in Providence and being severely impressed with the level of musicianship/ability to flawlessly reproduce all of the moody elements of their first record and just how tight they were. Then this record came out and made me an undisputed, life long fan. I hear this and I feel like I'm trapped in the black lodge with Dale Cooper
Metalane
This is my first time listening and it captures the soul of FWWM so well it’s unbelievable.
