The world has turned and left me here
Just where I was before you appeared
And in your place an empty space
has filled the void behind my face

I just made love with your sweet memory
One thousand times in my head
You said you loved it more than ever
You said
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day

I talked for hours to your wallet photograph
And you just listened
You laughed enchanted by my intellect
Or maybe you didn't
You remain, turned away
Turning further every day

Do you believe what I sing now?

    General Comment:I'm currently experiencing this now...the aftermath of a shocking break-up. "Wow. I'm exactly where I was right before I met them".

    General Comment:Losing a girl. Most likely the one of your dreams.

    The title is the feeling I got when I thought I was losing my love. It feels like the whole entire world turns against you. You feel alone and sad.

    The whole song is his memories of her and wanting her back. He can't get her out of his mind. It just makes him more depressed. As the song goes the narrator gets more depressed. Starting with "the world has turned and left me here. Ending with "do you believe what I sing now?" He is trying to get back with her, and show he loves her. She doesn't listen or believe him hence that lyric. "I just made love to your sweet memory, I talked for hours to your wallet photograph, etc."

    Its such an amazing song. One of my favorites ever.

    General Comment:I don't think he wants to accept the fact that shes gone. He still loves her, but that doesn't seem to matter to her. shes gone forever.

    General Comment:First time I heard this I thought it was 'You remain turned away, turning burger every day'. Like it was about being stuck in a dead-end job. But then I engaged my brain and thought that that couldn't be right.

    General Comment:wow, i always thought it was "wanted photograph"...as if she had gone missing. i think that makes more sense, but i guess either makes the same point.
