Their first release, 2014's self-titled EP, featured three songs (including debut single "Speak Softly") that would later appear in acoustic form on the Broken Home Sessions EP and the fleshed out Monstrous Things EP, which arrived in 2015
In the summer of 2017, Picturesque issued their debut LP, Back to Beautiful, which included singles "Fake Fiction," "New Face," and "Honestly".
"In the spring of 2020 Picturesque released their Sophomore Album titled "Do You Feel O.K.?" released via Equal Vision Records. Picturesque decided to take a different direction and went with a more alt rock/hard rock route instead of their post-hardcore sound like their debut album "Back to Beautiful." This album includes singles "Necessary," "Crimes," "Swipe," "ATTN:," and "Pray" which acquired more than 4 Million streams on Spotify.
Picturesque is a band that should not be slept on in the scene. They are here to stay and they are here to slay.
One of Us
Picturesque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is how were repaid
Once a man now a forgotten friend
Was I truly meant to understand
We will wait as time goes by
With no one left in sight
With no one left in sight
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
So put this on paper
We'll rewrite the maker
And let us down
You'd never know from underlying,
promising, indifference,
This is all your fault
Shame and remorse are what you stand for
Have you ever said,
Have you ever thought,
Maybe there is
More to life than
What your mother taught
We will wait as time goes by
With no one left in sight
With no one left in sight
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
So put this on paper
We'll rewrite the maker
And let us down
You make walking away
Look so much easier
than movies do these days
Our bonds have broken
Now you've lost our trust
Just let me know when
You've had enough
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
You took us for granted
Forget what your handed
You let us down
You will never be one of us
Since the day you walked out
So put this on paper
We'll rewrite the maker
And let us down
I've become callous
To the thought
Of you returning home
I'd rather be alone
Than hear your bullshit
One more fucking time
About how things will work out
And then be just fine
The lyrics of "One of Us" by Picturesque tell a story about a person who has left others behind and now must pay for it. The singer has left their rest behind and is reaping the consequences. They were once friends with the people they left behind. However, now they are an outcast and will never be one of them again. The lyrics indicate that the singer took their relationships for granted and that they led the ones they left down. They now live with shame and remorse, wishing for more than what they were taught.
The song talks about waiting for the person to come back with no one in sight. The lyrics suggest that the ones left behind have moved on, and the person who left can never be one of them again. The singer's anger is palpable, indicating that the person who left was close to their heart but broke their bonds and lost their trust. The end of the song suggests that the singer is completely done with the person's empty promises and is better off being alone than hearing their lies again.
Line by Line Meaning
I've left my rest so far away
I am no longer at peace
This is how we're repaid
This is how we are being treated
Once a man now a forgotten friend
I use to be a person, now I am forgotten
Was I truly meant to understand
Did I really comprehend this?
We will wait as time goes by
We will be patient as time passes
With no one left in sight
No one is around to help or support us
You will never be one of us
You are not part of our group or family
Since the day you walked out
Since the day you left us
You took us for granted
You did not appreciate us
Forget what you're handed
Don't take for granted what you are given
You let us down
You disappointed us
So put this on paper
Write this down
We'll rewrite the maker
We will change things
And let us down
And continue to be a disappointment
You'd never know from underlying, promising, indifference,
You seemed indifferent and apathetic
This is all your fault
You are responsible for all of this
Shame and remorse are what you stand for
You are a symbol of shame and regret
Have you ever said, Have you ever thought, Maybe there is More to life than What your mother taught
Have you ever considered that life is more than what you were taught?
You make walking away Look so much easier than movies do these days
You make leaving seem effortless
Our bonds have broken Now you've lost our trust
Our connection has been severed, and we no longer have faith in you
Just let me know when You've had enough
Tell me when you have had your fill
I've become callous To the thought Of you returning home
I have become hardened to the idea of you coming back
I'd rather be alone Than hear your bullshit One more fucking time About how things will work out And then be just fine
I would prefer solitude over hearing more of your lies about everything working out
