What Escapes Me Lyrics

The lyrics of What Escapes Me's song Flashback have a deep emotional undertone that expresses a farewell of two ill-fated lovers. The lines "Again, it rises for one last sunshine" signify their last chance at love and a new beginning. However, as the song progresses, it becomes more apparent that there is nothing left for the singer to do but bid farewell to the one they love. With the lines "Bid you farewell, my love, a heart I leave behind," the singer accepts their fate and leaves their love behind to move on with their life.

The second verse, "Don't have an eternity, so let me live this life," gives us a glimpse of how even though the singer knew that love is not eternal, they still wished to live their life with the person they loved. The song then takes a bitter turn with the lines "Look into your heart, that sick excuse for a heart. I've got a cure for your disease, just let me leave." Here, the singer reveals their resentment and disgust for the way their love treated them. The song concludes with the lines "Looking back on those... days I remember not to forget, I forget not what," indicating that although the singer is moving on, they will never forget the painful memories of their lost love.
