Flashback

This song is about Calvin Harris having regrets about how he lives his life. If he's not at home alone he is out clubbing/performing and getting extremely intoxicated. All that is exciting and noteworthy happens when he is intoxicated and he can barely remember much of it. So when he is looking back on his life over the last few years it feels like nothing much has happened at all. A measure of life is the memories you have of its experiences. Not having many memories is not having much of a life.

"I'm coming round and now my vision is so clear If I could change my state of mind then I would dissappear"

• Sobering up and back in his own head space. Realizes that he becomes a different person when intoxicated.

"The love I get from you is something I can't chance And I could let you slip away without a second glance"

A - This could mean that he is targeting his fondness for intoxicants and is prepaired to go sober so that he can retain more memories of his life.

B - Or it could be refering to random pick ups he encounters during the nights and is thinking that he can't deal with the other persons over affections and she would surely fade into the background of his hung over memories never not to be recognised again.

"Why can't I realise Im fighting for my life?"

• He knows that his lifestyle is not very productive yet he still parties all night and is way too hung over and tired to get up and do anything during the day.

"This is like a flashback This is like a dream This is like all the things you can fit inside a memory"

• Trying to remember the night before but realizes that its like trying to remember the last dream you had. How can so much happen and still not leave an impression?
