Portraits
Farewell My Love Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swore that I'd always love you
& your sweet smile & the scent of your hair
But your flare has gone away for awhile
Take me to the edge of town to
To sort this whole thing out
I get lost in your eyes & the glow of the fireflies
Lets run away, together we stay,
Forever in your arms, I crumble
& now my dream continues,
So real as you push your hand into mine,
To let me know it's alright
We walk in hand out of the sunlight
Hear the clock strike
12
I'm waiting for your whisper
Before the last petal hits the ground
Lets run away, together we stay,

Forever in your arms, I crumble,
LOVE, DEATH, FORGET,

BREATHE, WISH, ONE KISS
Oh, so ready to go

I won't accept that
I'm on my own




Lets run away, together we stay,
Forever in your arms, I crumble

Overall Meaning

The song "Portraits" by Farewell My Love is about a person deeply in love with someone, but feeling that their love has gone away. The lyrics speak of a person who promises to always love the other person and cherish their smile and the scent of their hair. However, their love has lost its spark, and the person cannot find their way back to what once was.


The lyrics suggest that the couple goes to the edge of town to sort things out. The singer gets lost in his lover's eyes and the glow of the fireflies. He wishes to run away with his love, stay together forever in their arms, and crumble in their embrace. The idea of running away suggests a desire to escape reality and find a fresh start. However, the clock strikes twelve, and the person is waiting for their beloved's whisper before the last petal hits the ground. It indicates that the singer needs to have a heartfelt conversation with the other person before it's too late.


The chorus "Forever in your arms, I crumble" is the line that appears twice in the song, indicating that the singer's love is intense, emotional, and all-consuming. The lyrics remind the listeners that love can bring both joy and pain, and it is not an easy journey. The phrase "Love, Death, Forget" reflects the complex nature of love as it can make us feel alive, but eventually lead to forgetfulness because of the painful memories it leaves us with.

I swore that I'd always love you
I promised to love you forever


& your sweet smile & the scent of your hair
I adore your smile and the way your hair smells


But your flare has gone away for awhile
However, you are not the same person you used to be


Take me to the edge of town to
Let's go to the outskirts of town


To sort this whole thing out
To figure out our problems


I get lost in your eyes & the glow of the fireflies
Your eyes are so captivating, and the fireflies add to the moment


Lets run away, together we stay,
Let's escape and be together


Forever in your arms, I crumble
Being in your arms makes me feel weak in the knees


& now my dream continues,
My dream of being with you continues


So real as you push your hand into mine,
It feels so real when you hold my hand


To let me know it's alright
To reassure me that everything is okay


We walk in hand out of the sunlight
We walk together out of the sun's rays


Hear the clock strike 12
It's almost time for something to happen


I'm waiting for your whisper
I'm anxiously waiting to hear what you have to say


Before the last petal hits the ground
Before time runs out


LOVE, DEATH, FORGET,
These themes are intertwined in our story


BREATHE, WISH, ONE KISS
If only breathing, making a wish, and one kiss could fix everything


Oh, so ready to go
I'm eager to leave this place


I won't accept that
I refuse to believe that it's over


I'm on my own
I'm feeling alone and lost

É uma mistura de Panic! At the disco, Get Scared, Escape The Fate e Falling in Reverse! É simplesmente genial!
