Pictures Lyrics
I remember when I still was young in the sun
I knew hardly any worries
Now the story's changed and all is fading away
Won't you stay until the daybreak?
I was young, I was young
I was young, I was young, I was young
I remember you with your ruby skirt
I was hurt when you wouldn't let me hold you
Now the story's changed and all is fading away
Won't you stay until the daybreak?
And I loved and I loved
And I loved and I loved 'til I ran out of love
I remember us in the autumn rain,
you're the same
it was me who couldn't stay there,
Now the story's changed and I am leaving today
Take the picture from the gold frame
And I learned and I learned
And I learned and I learned 'til my lesson was learned
I take what I need
I ache when I bleed
I'm made this way and you're the same
The same
I'll stay when if it's right and leave when it's time
I'm not to blame
The story has changed, has changed
I'm changed
I remember when I still was young in the sun
I knew hardly any worries
Now the story's changed and all is fading away
Won't you stay until the daybreak?
And I loved and I loved
And I loved and I loved 'til I ran out of love
And I learned and I learned
And I learned and I learned 'til my lesson was learned
Pictures, pictures
Black and grey
Fade away
Hold on, hold on
You'll get over it someday
I knew hardly any worries
Now the story's changed and all is fading away
Won't you stay until the daybreak?
I was young, I was young, I was young
I was hurt when you wouldn't let me hold you
Now the story's changed and all is fading away
Won't you stay until the daybreak?
And I loved and I loved 'til I ran out of love
you're the same
it was me who couldn't stay there,
Now the story's changed and I am leaving today
Take the picture from the gold frame
And I learned and I learned 'til my lesson was learned
I ache when I bleed
I'm made this way and you're the same
The same
I'm not to blame
The story has changed, has changed
I'm changed
I knew hardly any worries
Now the story's changed and all is fading away
Won't you stay until the daybreak?
And I loved and I loved 'til I ran out of love
And I learned and I learned 'til my lesson was learned
Black and grey
Fade away
Hold on, hold on
You'll get over it someday

This song speaks to me a lot right now. It's likely just generally about growing older, realizing that things are changing, and accepting that.
While I won't say that this was the singer's intention, to me it has a deeper, more personal meaning. I'm currently coming down from years of drug abuse and and have been suffering panic attacks for days now, scared of losing my mind. For me, the decision to stop ties in with my decision to grow up. I've been having therapy for about half a year now and lots of things have been happening, for better and worse, during that time.
The song's positive outlook on growing up and changing is quite comforting to me. While the singer might not have been in the same situation I am in now when he wrote the song, I find comfort in the fact that I'm not the only one having trouble growing up and accepting change.
The part about staying when it's right and leaving when it's time - the story has changed especially speaks to me - the singer is acknowledging that things have changed, but has accepted it.
In the end, pictures will fade over time, but that's alright. Pictures can show beautiful things and portray bad times. Both of those fade with time. And that's a good thing.
