MyLyricalMind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to MyLyricalMind's song Pictures are thought-provoking, giving insight into the complexity of various relationships. The first verse talks about crashing a car into a best friend's house and the hesitation that comes with speaking up about it. The repetition of "stop" shows conflicting emotions, maybe the desire to come clean and the fear of the consequences. The second verse talks about finding a god next to a girlfriend's bed, which could be seen as a metaphor for infidelity or doubt in the relationship. Again, there's a call for caution and not to make rash decisions. The chorus "take a picture of them" is ambiguous, but it could signify capturing a moment or a memory, a piece of evidence, or simply an act of curiosity.
