Memories of Now
Farse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Discovered in that photograph many years from now,
Considered satallites tranverse and guide your back,
You're like a compass star,
Memories of now, many years from now.
Maybe years from now our paths will cross,
Its one ill bear, no disillusions, no loose ends
Metromome still beats inside my head like
Tinitus it beggars belief,
Your slight off hand too quick for me my dear I loved.
I think no one else in, I'm cutting my nose now just to spite my face, feelings with drink,
I lie and sink your fault, I'm never offering myself complete.
Keep holding something back, ill blame conversation lack, still feeling incomplete, and dust
Settles round my feet with one breath in the past.
I still picture un holding hands, one bad day
At a time, a left of centre aim and a roller coaster decline.
The lyrics to Farse's song "Memories of Now" are introspective and melancholy. The opening line "Is it just me or is there something missing?" sets the tone for the rest of the song.

They mention discovering a photograph that transports them back in time, and how their memories of that time can be both comforting and painful.
The reference to "satellites" suggests that the singer sees their former partner as guiding them through life, like a star that helps them navigate. But despite this connection, they acknowledge that their paths may never cross again, and that they must accept this reality without any illusions. The metaphorical language in this song is evocative, with the imagery of a "metronome still beating inside my head" and the sense that the singer is cutting off their nose to spite their face.
