Pictures
FlicFlac & Bearson vs. Benjamin Francis Leftwich Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you crash a car into
Your best friend's house
Would you be quiet as
Words came out of their mouth

Stop, don't do it
I have been waiting for it
Stop, I knew it would come

If you find a god next to
Your girlfriend's bed
Would it be hard to
Sort out your spinning head

Stop, don't say that, dear
That you wanted him here
Stop, don't give him the clear

Take a picture of them
Take a picture of them

If you are afraid, don't be
I have the whole thing planned
We'll start in the ocean, baby
And when we find the land
We will be thankful to
All of our friends
That they didn't leave us
As we got to the end

Take a picture of them
Take a picture of them
Take a picture of them
Take a picture of them

If you find your faith in
Your parents' God
Don't be so quick to
Point out the flaws in it

You've been around and you've seen
The way that things work




But you need a compass to
Get around your house

Overall Meaning

The song "Pictures" by FlicFlac, Bearson, and Benjamin Francis Leftwich is a poignant reflection on the complexities of relationships and the tension between honesty and silence. The lyrics explore scenarios in which difficult truths are revealed and the resulting fallout. The first verse asks whether one would be quiet if they were responsible for a destructive act towards a friend's home. This question probes the importance of owning one's actions and the fear of repercussions. The second verse presents a scenario in which a person discovers their significant other has been unfaithful, and they struggle with the decision to confront them or not. The chorus repeats the exhortation to "take a picture of them," a phrase that can be interpreted as a plea to capture the truth in a tangible way, to hold onto it before it shifts and morphs into something else.

If you crash a car into
If you accidentally hit your car into


Your best friend's house
Your closest companion's residence


Would you be quiet as
Do you remain silent while


Words came out of their mouth
They express their anger vocally


Stop, don't do it
Halt, do not proceed


I have been waiting for it
I have been anticipating this scenario


Stop, I knew it would come
Stop, I expected this outcome


If you find a god next to
If you discover a deity beside


Your girlfriend's bed
Your romantic partner's sleeping area


Would it be hard to
Is it difficult to


Sort out your spinning head
Organize your confused thoughts


Stop, don't say that, dear
Stop, do not utter those words, darling


That you wanted him here
That you desired him to be present


Stop, don't give him the clear
Stop, do not give him permission


Take a picture of them
Capture an image of them


Take a picture of them
Snap a photo of them


If you are afraid, don't be
If you feel scared, do not worry


I have the whole thing planned
I have everything arranged ahead of time


We'll start in the ocean, baby
We will begin our adventure in the sea, darling


And when we find the land
And when we locate the terra firma


We will be thankful to
We will express our gratitude to


All of our friends
Every one of our companions


That they didn't leave us
That they refused to abandon us


As we got to the end
As we reached the conclusion

Take a picture of them
Capture an image of them


Take a picture of them
Snap a photo of them

If you discover your devotion in


Your parents' God
The deity worshiped by your forefathers


Don't be so quick to
Do not be too hasty in


Point out the flaws in it
Identifying the defects in it


You've been around and you've seen
You have been everywhere and witnessed


The way that things work
How things operate


But you need a compass to
But you require a navigational tool to


Get around your house
Travel around your abode
