Postcard
Self Deception Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you remember us as children without worries
When life was all about having fun
Do you remember
I miss that, I miss that

The summer is dying fast
This time we have will soon have past
This feeling isn't here to stay
As we are getting older
A Postcard marked better place
I knew it was you by the smile on your face
On that old photograph of us

So man your battle stations
Life's incoming
For what it's worth
You saw a part of me that no one else could see
And everything falls in to place when I
Get to see your face

The summer is dying fast
This time we have will soon have past
This feeling isn't here to stay
As we are getting older
A postcard marked better place
I knew it was you by the smile on your face
On that old photograph of us

You take my hand
And for a moment we forget that
This is the first day of the rest of our lives

You say let's make the best of this
And hold on to this thing
And to never forget never regret us
What came to be you promised me
To never forget, never regret us

The summer is dying fast
This time we have will soon have past
This feeling isn't here to stay
As we are getting older
A postcard marked better place
I knew it was you by the smile on your face
On that old photograph of us

You take my hand




And for a moment we forget that
This is the first day of the rest of our lives

Overall Meaning

The song "Postcard" by Self Deception is a nostalgic tribute to childhood memories and the fleeting nature of time. The opening lines paint a picture of carefree days as children, reminiscing about a simpler time when life was all about having fun. The singer then expresses a sense of longing and a desire to revisit those carefree days, which he misses tremendously.


The theme of the transient nature of time is then repeated in the chorus, with the summer season symbolizing the fleeting nature of our lives. The use of the postcard also symbolizes this idea of fleeting moments, as a postcard is a brief snapshot of a moment in time which can never be recaptured.


The verses then lead into a realization that life is full of ups and downs, battles that we must face head-on. But through it all, there are those special people who see us for who we truly are, and whose presence makes everything fall into place. These people are a reminder that life is not just about the battles we face, but also about the moments of connection and love that we share with others.


Overall, "Postcard" is a touching song that invites listeners to reflect on the nature of time and the beauty of life's simple moments. It speaks to the universal experience of nostalgia for childhood and the recognition that time moves quickly and that we must cherish the moments that we have.
