The song centers around the narrator looking at old photographs of a lost love, sparking a flood of memories and emotions.
The opening lines, “I’ve been looking so long at these pictures of you / That I almost think that they are real,” suggest a longing and perhaps an unhealthy obsession with the past.
The lyrics “Screaming at the sky / You don’t fade” highlights the lingering impact of this person.
The narrator is haunted by the relationship’s end, questioning “If I’d only thought of the right words / I could have held on to your heart”.
The overall tone is one of melancholy and regret, reflecting on the idealized version of the past captured in the photographs and the painful reality of its loss.
The photos become a symbol of what was and what can never be again.
