Post Script
Finch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish it didn't hurt, hurt like this
To say these things to you

I'll sacrifice one moment for one truth

If we get through tomorrow then we'll be fine
We'll wait forever and see how close we get
It's just another day, one more chance
To get this right
I'll sacrifice forever please just for tonight

If we get through tomorrow then we'll be fine
We'll wait forever and see how close we get





The worst is over for now
Take a breath now let it out

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Post Script" by Finch revolve around a difficult conversation or confession that one must have with a loved one. The singer in the song is aware of the pain that the truth will cause, but thinks it's worth it to have a moment of honesty. The opening lines of the song, "I wish it didn't hurt, hurt like this, to say these things to you," set the tone for the theme of discomfort and the singer's reluctance. The singer is willing to give up a moment of pleasure for a lifetime of truth, as seen in the line, "I'll sacrifice one moment for one truth."


However, the singer seems to be holding onto hope for a better future, as seen in the lines, "If we get through tomorrow then we'll be fine, we'll wait forever and see how close we get." It appears that the conversation or confession is testing the strength of their relationship, and they hope that by facing it head-on, they can come out stronger. The lyrics, "It's just another day, one more chance, to get this right. I'll sacrifice forever please just for tonight," show that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means sacrificing their future together, to make the present moment right.


The closing lines of the song, "The worst is over for now, take a breath now let it out," provide a sense of relief and a feeling that the worst has passed. It also shows that regardless of the outcome, they can move forward, take a deep breath, and keep going.

@catstickler

I remember buying this album when it came out when I was 12, and it got me through some serious abuse where I was rented to people for years until I finally escaped.

Now I'm 32, still listening to this like it's my lifeline, and the worst really is over finally.

@danielbaftalovski

Впервые услышал этот альбом, не то в 17 или 18 лет, и мне тоже 32 , и я до сих пор люблю Finch))
