Impressions
Ritual Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This one is for the boys in my back
We are the trash of this numb generation
We have started to use our minds and hearts
And every day we share is an important part of my life
I have learned from you about life and how to life it
And finally you've kept me from becoming someone awful
I will always keep these impressions
And I'm thankful




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Impressions" by Ritual are a testament to the importance of friendship and how the people we surround ourselves with can have a profound impact on our lives. The opening line, "This one is for the boys in my back," immediately invokes a sense of camaraderie and brotherhood. The song then goes on to describe this group as "the trash of this numb generation," suggesting that they are a group of misfits who have found solace in each other.


Despite this somewhat negative description, the lyrics also celebrate the positive qualities of this group of friends. They have started to "use their minds and hearts," a clear indication that they are actively working to better themselves and find meaning in their lives. The line "every day we share is an important part of my life" underscores just how much these friendships mean to the singer.


Throughout the song, the singer expresses gratitude for the influence these friends have had on their life. They have learned about life from them and they credit their friends with keeping them from becoming "someone awful." The closing line, "I will always keep these impressions," serves as a promise to honor the impact these friends have had on their life and to maintain these relationships.

I have an uncle in Netherlands, and he is obsessed with Rituals cosmetics. He has literally everything. I became obsessed with rituals in I think 2013, when I went to my friends house and his sister had so many products from Rituals. I was hooked instantly. I remember her giving me some things to smell and put on my body. I always loved cosmetics, but never have I wanted something so bad. So, years went by, and I kinda forgot about it, and then I think about 2 or 3 years ago, my mom went to visit my uncle, and came back home with these three perfumes.... and OMG... Fleurs de l'Himalaya... I still dream about that perfume... I never got over it. But still... in Sephora here we finally have Rituals products... not all, but they have Rituals of Sakura... which is my favorite scent in the world. Really... no perfume can top that smell. It is just perfect.
