Flash Lyrics
I'm a flash, you were blinded by the love I had
I'm a flash, the light could only get in through the cracks
And you've got to do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in the photograph
Do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in the photograph
When they crash, the helicopters in my heart are red
Cut in half, you saw me lying there bleeding to death
And you had to do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in the photograph
Do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in the photograph
Now I stand on the stage, I forget my lines
Do you play Satan's imagination
And a voice in my head's causing suicide
Searching for any way to remember them
And you've got to do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in the photograph
Do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in the photograph
I'm a flash, the light could only get in through the cracks
You're the white swan in the photograph
Do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in the photograph
Cut in half, you saw me lying there bleeding to death
You're the white swan in the photograph
Do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in the photograph
Do you play Satan's imagination
And a voice in my head's causing suicide
Searching for any way to remember them
You're the white swan in the photograph
Do the right thing, do the right thing, baby
You're the white swan in the photograph

The singer is reminiscing about the subject of the song who is in the past. Past romance the singer lost. Hence the subject is a beautiful swan in photo only. The singer was the active party full of desire, but the subject was not convinced. The singer could only get partially through to her through the cracks. The singer does not want to slave or con the subject, hence encouraging her to do the "right thing" which in this case mean following her feelings. Her feelings took her away from the singer. The singer feels the pain of this decision, but still stands by his choice of encouraging her do follow the path of her feelings because her going with him would not have been a long term solution in any case. He had lost the race from the start. He only wanted to stay with her if he knew it was for good. But they both knew it was not.
