The absence of memories
"Where was our Father
For all of this?"

Tones bring us pleasure but how do you hear
The absence of melody
To tell us with
Songs of assurance, "You're not alone"
The Moth & The Flame's lyrics in "Round" seem to lament the loss of memory and how it creates a void that cannot be filled by pleasure, melody, or even familial comfort. The singer alludes to an unseen force that impacted their lives, possibly their father, from whom they seek answers in every photograph. The lyrics suggest that memories are the backbone of our existence, and without them, we are left with a void. The second verse continues with the same theme, and while the singer acknowledges the importance of melody and musical comforts, they point out that no song can replace the assurance that a maternal presence provides. The line "You're not alone" ties back to the void but also highlights the importance of having someone in our lives who can provide comfort and assurance.
Overall, "Round" is a touching reminder that memories and familial bonds are the most valuable things in our lives. It highlights how the absence of loved ones can create a void that cannot be filled by temporal pleasures. The song's melancholic tone underscores the weight of the emotions it elicits, and the poignant lyrics resonate with anyone who has ever felt alone, lost, or forgotten.
