“Memento Mori” is the fourth track from Young Guns’ 2015 album ‘Ones and Zeros’. Ever-present across the album is an exploration of the finite and acceptance that all things will come to pass, with Gustav Wood specifically referencing the more existential Walt Whitman as a source of inspiration when...
[Verse 1]
In my heart I feel a change
What once was now looks so strange
You're out at sea and I'm ashore
And these wounds don't seem to wade
If you're a fist, I'm a windowpane
Like the moon, we wax and wane
[Chorus]
She says we're not gonna make it (make it, make it)
This night is fading just like a photograph
It's bittersweet, but I'll take it (take it, take it)
They say that some things are just not meant to last
This love's faded like a photograph
(This love's faded like a photograph)
This love's faded like a photograph
Some things just aren't meant to last
(Oh, we're faded like a photograph)
[Verse 2]
Oh I constantly explain
You’re the mist, I’m the pouring rain
And slowly we evaporate
In these tombs, I seal away
Precious little that still remains
To never see the light of day
[Chorus]
She says we're not gonna make it (make it, make it)
This night is fading just like a photograph
It's bittersweet, but I'll take it (take it, take it)
They say that some things are just not meant to last
This love's faded like a photograph
(This love's faded like a photograph)
This love's faded like a photograph
Some things just aren't meant to last
[Bridge]
She said, "memento mori"
It's tonight, and you're the mori
We could pretend for glory
Oh, we're faded like a photograph
Oh, we're faded like a photograph
[Chorus]
She says we're not gonna make it (make it, make it)
This night is fading just like a photograph
It's bittersweet, but I'll take it (take it, take it)
They say that some things are just not meant to last
This love's faded like a photograph
(This love's faded like a photograph)
This love's faded like a photograph
Some things just aren't meant to last
[Outro]
(Oh, we're faded like a photograph)
This love's faded like a photograph
(Oh, we're faded like a photograph)
This love's faded like a photograph
Some things just aren't meant to last
