Graphics
Memory Tapes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be your lover
I'll be your friend
I'll be a part of the illusion
that let you on
and took you away
but I'm forgetting all
the lies
All that you want
is to scream at the wall
It's not the same thing
but I can't wait anymore

I don't even recognize
the sound of your voice
feel of your touch




You can be alone
even though I'm here by your side

Overall Meaning

In Memory Tapes's song Graphics, the lyrics express the idea of someone willing to go the extra mile for their loved one, even if it means going along with the illusions they've created. The lines "I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend" highlight the person's willingness to be everything their loved one needs. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is struggling with the burden of constantly maintaining these illusions. The line "but I'm forgetting all the lies" suggests that keeping up with the facade is becoming too much for the singer to bear.


The lyrics continue with the idea that the loved one just wants to scream at the wall, illustrating a sense of frustration or unhappiness. The singer acknowledges this and expresses a desire to help, with the line "It's not the same thing but I can't wait anymore." Despite the singer's willingness to support their loved one, they admit that they don't recognize the person they once knew with lines like "I don't even recognize the sound of your voice, feel of your touch." The singer empathizes with their loved one's feelings of loneliness, but they acknowledge that sometimes being physically present isn't enough to alleviate the emotional distress.

but I'm forgetting all the lies
however, I am choosing to forget the deceptions that contributed to our relationship


All that you want is to scream at the wall

It's not the same thing
Despite my willingness to help you, my support alone cannot fully satisfy your needs

This band is so underrated. What a beautiful sound. I'm embarassed to admit I found them out as fillers in a festival, but now "Seek Magic" is always a headliner on my MP3. Do spread the word

I imagine life progressing when I hear this. Everything seems so confusing, but at some point you can hit zen, pass through a stage of understanding, and hopefully fade with a smile on your face when you see all of your memories in the last moment, however that may come to be.
