Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shed some skin for the fear within
Is starting to hurt me with everything
Freed from the memory
Escape from our history, history
[Chorus]
And I just hope that you can forgive us
But everything must go
And if you need an explanation
Then everything must go
[Verse 2]
I look to the future it makes me cry
But it seems too real to tell you why
Freed from the century
With nothing but memory, memory
[Chorus]
And I just hope that you can forgive us
But everything must go
And if you need an explanation
Then everything must go
[Bridge]
Freed us eventually
Just need to be happy, happy
[Chorus]
And I just hope that you can forgive us
But everything must go
And if you need an explanation
Then everything must go
And I just hope that you can forgive us
But everything must go
And if you need an explanation
Then everything must go

A lot of people ask (when I say, "I love the Manics") , "Don't you find them depressing?". No I don't. Is it just me?! I find them uplifting, and the hairs stand up on the back of my neck listening to that voice and the tunes!

[@TheLostBoy1974]

Emma Their music is not depressing. You’re right.

[@paulnolan4999]

They are a very much underrated band. If people actually listened then they would know.

[@TheKraig]

When depressed in mood they lift me, but when high in mood they make me reflect on the bad times so I can appreciate the good times more.

[@yaxima9943]

As a Japanese person, it is very natural that the image of cherry blossoms used in this song and in the video is closely linked to the death of a member of this band. Since the time of the samurai, cherry blossoms falling all at once have symbolised the image of death without attachment to life. And whenever they sang about the Buddhist concept of the impermanence of all things, it left a lasting impression of mourning and regret for the young man who had died before them, and the determination of those left behind who must nevertheless move on.

[@troppmann]

I thought it was also an ironic reference to Chairman Mao's let a hundred flowers bloom speech, and that the loss would have to lead to new ideas. I accept I could be wrong: is that how cherry blossoms spread their seeds?

[@yeetusdelete0]

@@troppmann quite a lot of plants drop stuff onto the ground to reproduce

[@mysteryegg340]

Lovely but this song was released 2 years after Richey went missing. Nobody thought he was dead at that time. I doubt they knew of the traditional significance of the cherry blossom. More likely that since this song is clearly about him, everyone knew of his love of Japan, the cherry blossoms were iconic of that

[@AndyMcDonald-u7s]

@@mysteryegg340 given the Manics, I'd not be surprised if they knew all the symbolism.

[@listianocrowe]

The tree is a reference to the one which was by a house the band spent a lot of time in. I do believe it was between where Wire/Edwards lived.

The ultimate ‘moving on’ song. Keep walking and don’t look back. Pure catharsis, best symbolised by that girl smashing the giant clock with that bass towards the end. We let too much cling on to us and weigh us down,worrying about how much time we have and how much of it we think we’ve wasted. All we have is life time. Go.

A powerful anthem for personal change and starting afresh. That's what it speaks to me. I love how lyrics can be applied in a variety of ways to our own lives and experiences.

[@stevedavis4513]

Are you kidding?. Their friend, a founding member of the group, was missing and feared dead. They paid royalties to an account for him on EVERYTHING they did. He was ruled dead by a court c. 2007. They were the Joy Division/New Order of their time and they continue to this day.

[@listianocrowe]

Love the little tributes to Richey right from the start! Walking past his guitar and the cherry blossom tree. Such a dignified way and great song to say goodbye.

Really? Oh my. I will check that out. Magnificient song made even better knowing that. Thank you.

Simply asking, and would much rather hear your take, please, and 4real, explain the cherry blossom tree? And, AWESOMENESS.... ABOUT the guitar THANKS!!!!! from Canada, Kevan.

[@listianocrowe]

@kevandalzell7906 The cherry blossom tree is a reference to the tree that was outside the house, which the band spent time in when they started out, and was also I believe between where Wire and Edwards lived.

Always

[@kevinkibble8342]

Imagine being a fan in 1996. You know the Manics as just a dark, angry, artsy punk type band and then they put this album out which is so different to anything they've done before, a lot less rocky and more pop/Motown influenced but maybe their most poignant work yet, full of huge anthems that are so defiant of their past tragedy.

[@surfguy87]

My friend Simon (Absolute LEGEND!) passed unexpectedly in 2021, at the age of 36. The last time I saw him, I had him all to myself for a 12 hour bar crawl in Amsterdam. Ripper. At around 03:00 in the morning we were sat in his freezing cold living room, peaking like bastards, just he and I. Owing to the fact we're both welsh he put a Manics record on, leaned back into his wingback armchair, looked to the heavens with eyes closed and said "this is my faaaaaaaavrrite fackin tune this, innit!". Before slowly looking over at me with a twinkle and a smirk. I smiled back. Ever since his death I've been hammering my memory trying to remember which song was playing when he said those words, but for the life of me I can't remember. Instead, whenever I hear any Manics tune playing, I think back to that moment and wonder if it's Simon's favourite tune playing. By this point they're all my favourite tune, if only because it reminds me of that one last hoorah with my mate Si! Funny the things you remember, not so funny the things you don't. Innit.
