About This Track

'Splendor' by M83 is a Rock track from 'Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming' (2011). The lyrics trade on bleak self-questioning and a sense of temporal repetition, asking what anyone can show while describing barren emotional terrain and dust-like imagery. They look ahead to an ending, then pivot to the odd mercy of days restarting, with glowing traces along a river bend, and a farewell framed not as finality but as a note of continued companionship, “It’s not goodbye my only friend”.

"Splendor" is a track by M83, from the album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, released 16th October 2011. The track is 5:08 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about M83.

Lyrics

Splendor

What have we to show?
Barren feelings and dust for crow.
We can't ever know.
When it's time to go.

That's the way to see the end.
Glowing out along the river bend.
It's not goodbye my only friend.
Yesterday started over again.
