Francis Dale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
capture me
And speak their way
You nurture me
Shelter my suffering
For only I can find solace in knowing that you've proceeded
Not utterly
I'll build a fortress where your memory used to live
Then I'll dissolve into the past
Safe where I'll last
Suspended In my doubt
Where you are
I'll let these thoughts
rustle me
And tear my veins
You summon me
Revoke my guilt so fruitlessly
For only I have no other option than dispose my dust and yield
Then I must melt into infinity
Mourn in your memory
Frozen in this field of love
Where you are
The lyrics in Francis Dale's song Overture seem to be about finding comfort and solace in a past relationship. The first stanza talks about letting the words capture the singer and speak their way, indicating a willingness to listen to the past and perhaps dwell on it. The second stanza seems to suggest that the memory of the relationship is both nurturing and sheltering, but at the same time must be renounced in order to move on. There is a sense of building a fortress around the memory and dissolving into the past, where the singer feels safe and suspended in their doubt. The final stanza again talks about being summoned by the memory of the past relationship, perhaps to come to terms with feelings of guilt or regret. The only option seems to be to let go and mourn in the memory of the relationship, frozen in a field of love where the other person still exists.
Overall, the lyrics are open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest that the singer is struggling with the aftermath of a past relationship, trying to find comfort while also acknowledging that it's time to move on.
