Cover art for Memories Fade lyrics by Tears for Fears

According to Roland, "Memories Fade" is not necessarily (or solely) a love/relationship song:

"The whole notion of repression in psychology is that although things are shoved to the back of one's mind, they still exert a force on your behavior, creating phobias, depression, insecurities... You're using up energy when you're repressing things, which could be used for far better things, like a forehand volley!"
