Exit Does Not Exist Lyrics

Does not exist, take an exit

I hear voices insinuating
Feeds me words to this song that I am saying

Sunlight, 7:20 PM early September
Standing looking at a photograph you don't remember

You look out of breath, and me like I am faking
As I matter of fact I don't recall this being taken

You don't actually exist so I start shaking

Does not exist, take an exit

this song is anything but upbeat, but a fine and very, very sad song

it's about someone looking at a photo with it's date printed on it but can't remember the actual taking of the photo (or they are looking at a photo one night at 7:20 pm)

supposing it's a girl who wrote the song she sees the man with her in the photo looks out of breath while she looks like she's faking some feeling

the does not exist, take an exit line, sounds eerie, the way it's sung

like she shouldn't be looking back at old pictures of things that don't exist anymore

love the song

the person in the photograph is dead. the narrator forgot about the person.

heartbreaking.

Like someone else said, it's about looking at a photo of yourself and a loved one who's passed away - someone who no longer exists, strictly speaking.

I don't know the original, only the SKM cover. It begins the Tiny Cities cd, which uses MM covers to express the experience of losing someone and trying to deal with it.
