Without Panasos
The Anniversary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As we forget our manners days slow down and I relapse
Dear Dad - I'm having trouble feeling sad
Your words find secret pathways through my spine
Inside my teeth I'll scream - I know that I miss you - I know that I miss you
Inside my teeth I'll scream
And I was wrong this time - oh I was so wrong
Every other morning I wake up lost and tired from dreaming
As we distill our vision nights grow long - void of real meaning.
Dear Dad - I'm having trouble feeling sad
Your words find secret pathways through my spine
Inside my teeth I'll scream - I know that I miss you - I know that I miss you
Inside my teeth I'll scream
Those diamond streets, invisible runways buried beneath
And I was wrong this time - oh I was so wrong
And Dad you don't know the half of it this time
You told me what was yours would soon be mine
You taught me to no longer be afraid - no longer be afraid
Those diamond streets, invisible runways buried beneath
And I was wrong this time - oh I was so wrong
The lyrics of "Without Panasos" by The Anniversary vividly illustrate the feelings of a person who is struggling with the passing away of their father. The opening lines "It's never felt so hot within these walls between the cracks" paint a picture of the intense and suffocating emotions that the singer is experiencing. As the days go by, time seems to slow down, and the singer finds themselves relapsing into grief. The repetition of the lines "Dear Dad - I'm having trouble feeling sad / Your words find secret pathways through my spine / Inside my teeth I'll scream - I know that I miss you" indicates that the singer is writing a letter to their father, pouring out their heart's deepest pain and emotions.
The second half of the song focuses on the memories and advice that the father imparted to the singer. The reference to "diamond streets, invisible runways buried beneath" is a metaphor for the valuable lessons that the father left behind. The line "And I was wrong this time - oh I was so wrong" shows the singer's regret for not fully understanding their father's teachings while he was still alive.
Overall, "Without Panasos" is a touching and introspective song that captures the complexities of loss, grief, and the enduring love between a parent and child.
