Landscape
Weekend Lyrics

In Weekend's song "Landscape," the lyrics discuss past events that have shaped who the singer is today. The first line, "Show me the chroma tale," implies the singer is seeking to relive a past memory, to see it in full color, to understand it in a new light. The second line, "The time that we fell short of incredible," is a clear indication that the memory is one of a failure or disappointment. Perhaps it is a reminder of a time when the hope and promise of youth did not translate into adult success. However, in showing the "chroma tale," the singer is attempting to confront and understand what went wrong.

The following lines describe the aftermath of the failure- "We came crashing down. Too many years ago." The phrase "too many years ago" hints at a sense of regret or lingering pain. However, instead of becoming consumed by these feelings, the singer chooses to wait for something- or someone. The repeated line, "I'll wait for you," is both a promise and a plea. It suggests a willingness to forgive or let go of the past and there is a sense of hope for something better in the future.

The rest of the lyrics describe how the past continues to influence the present. "See reflections run my days" implies that the singer is still haunted by memories of the past. The mention of the singer's father humming on late night phone calls suggests a sense of nostalgia or longing for a simpler time. However, the memory of "childhood reveries stolen, locked away" implies that the past was not always idyllic. The struggles and losses of youth may have led to a sense of disappointment in adulthood- a feeling that is once again captured in the line, "Lost in a neon night we pawned our hearts."

Overall, "Landscape" is a melancholic reflection on how the past can shape and influence the present. The singer is seeking to come to terms with the failures of the past while also looking towards the future with hope.
