Passion
The Nixons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And yet she stands in front of him
No communication
Only empty words are spoken
With a memory she lingers
On and on and on
For a moment she'll just
Close her eyes and drift away
He doesn't see her anymore
Somehow forgotten what it is
He promised to be here for
But there's something there
There's something left
That keeps her by his side
Close her eyes...
She remembers the passion
Doesn't feel the breath, a kiss
And yet she lies beside him
No imagination
Keeps two steps back - two steps back
With a memory she lingers
On and on and on
For a moment she'll just
Close her eyes and remember when
He doesn't see her anymore
Somehow forgotten what it is
He promised to be here for
But there's something left
There's something there
That keeps her by his side
Close her eyes...
She remembers
She remembers him
She remembers why she came here
From far away to find her way through fairytales...
He doesn't see her anymore
Somehow forgotten what it is
He promised to be there for
But there's something there
There's something left
That keeps her by his side
Something there
There's something stronger
That keeps her hanging on
Close her eyes
And they remember why it is
They promised to be here
Close her eyes...
She remembers the passion
The Nixons' song "Passion" explores the idea of the memories that remain even when a relationship has fizzled out. The song's lyrics describe a couple who are no longer close, with no communication between them except for empty words. The woman in the relationship remembers the passion they once had, but she can't feel it anymore. Despite this, she continues to stay with him, held by something that the song describes as both "something there" and "something left." She remembers why she came to the relationship and tries to find her way through the fairy tales, but she's unable to shake off the fact that something in their relationship has changed for the worse. The song captures the emotions involved in a relationship that is slowly dying and the struggle to hold onto the memories of what was once there.
Line by Line Meaning
He doesn't see her anymore
He has lost sight of her
And yet she stands in front of him
Despite him not seeing her, she is present
No communication
There is a lack of talking or understanding
Only empty words are spoken
Words are said but have no real meaning
With a memory she lingers
She stays because of past memories
On and on and on
It continues endlessly
For a moment she'll just
At times she takes a mental break
Close her eyes and drift away
She enjoys brief moments of escape
Somehow forgotten what it is
He has neglected his commitment
He promised to be here for
He made a vow to always be present
But there's something there
Despite the issues, there's something holding them together
That keeps her by his side
He still has some sort of attraction for her
She remembers the passion
She thinks back to the moments when things were intense and romantic
Doesn't feel the breath, a kiss
He's physically there but absent-minded
And yet she lies beside him
She still finds comfort being close to him
No imagination
There's a lack of creativity or spark
Keeps two steps back - two steps back
They remain distant mentally and emotionally
Close her eyes and remember when
She reminisces about the times they shared
She remembers him
She's not ready to forget him yet
She remembers why she came here
She recalls the reason why she started this relationship
From far away to find her way through fairytales...
She was searching for her happy ending
Something there
There's something keeping them connected
There's something stronger
This connection is very important
That keeps her hanging on
She is determined to keep going
And they remember why it is
Both of them recall their past promises and commitment

This song has always had special meaning for my wife and I. We were in a car wreck while we were dating and as she was in the ER she said this is all she could hear in her ears, not knowing where I was at. That was a long time ago.
