A Song To Remember
Melodies of Heartbreak: A Thousand Horses' Anthem to Healing
Lyrics
Tail lights don't lie
Tail lights symbolize departure or leaving.
Didn't even have to say goodbye
The speaker didn't have a chance to say goodbye.
Can't go home, so I'll just stay here
Unable to return home, so choosing to stay elsewhere.
Find a way to make you disappear
Seeking a way to forget or erase the person from memory.
Take a shortcut to the jukebox
Opting for a quick route to the jukebox, a symbolic action.
To the barstool and a double shot
Heading to the bar for a double shot, likely to cope.
I'm smokin' even though I quit
Despite quitting, the speaker is metaphorically "smokin'," struggling with vices.
I need a song to remember
Expressing a need for a memorable song.
And a drink to forget
Desiring a drink to help forget painful memories.
I'm on my way to gettin' over you
In the process of moving on but hasn't completely succeeded.
But I ain't there yet
Acknowledging progress but not yet fully recovered.
When the melody hits me
The impact of a song's melody on the speaker's emotions.
Little Coke in my whiskey
Mention of adding Coke to whiskey, a coping mechanism.
I'm as close to good as I'm gonna get
Feeling as good as possible under the circumstances.
I need a song to remember
Reiterating the need for a memorable song.
And a drink to forget
Emphasizing the need for a drink to help forget.
Song has faded, glass is empty
Song has ended, and the glass is empty, reflecting a void.
Halfway to okay that you ain't here with me
Halfway to acceptance that the person is not present.
I can't decide if I miss you tonight
Uncertain emotions about missing or being glad about the absence.
Or I'm glad that you're gone, hell I guess
Ambivalence about the departure of the person.
I need a song to remember
Reiterating the need for a memorable song.
And a drink to forget, yeah
Emphasizing the need for a drink to help forget.
I'm on my way to gettin' over you
Continuing the journey of moving on.
But I ain't there yet
Progressing but not fully recovered from the emotional impact.
Oh, when the melody hits me
The emotional effect of a melody on the speaker.
Little Coke in my whiskey
Combining Coke and whiskey as a coping mechanism.
I'm as close to good as I'm gonna get
Feeling as good as possible under the circumstances.
I need a song to remember
Reiterating the need for a memorable song.
And a drink to forget
Emphasizing the need for a drink to help forget.
Take a shortcut to the jukebox
Returning to the jukebox for another round of emotional relief.
To the barstool to the double shot
Repeating the cycle of seeking solace at the bar.
You're running in and outta my head
The person's presence lingers in the speaker's thoughts.
I need a song to remember
Reiterating the need for a memorable song.
And a drink to forget, yeah
Emphasizing the need for a drink to help forget.
I'm on my way to gettin' over you
Continuing the journey of moving on.
Oh, but I ain't there yet, yeah
Progressing but not fully recovered from the emotional impact.
When the melody hits me
The emotional effect of a melody on the speaker.
Little Coke in my whiskey
Combining Coke and whiskey as a coping mechanism.
I'm as close to good as I'm gonna get
Feeling as good as possible under the circumstances.
I need a song to remember
Reiterating the need for a memorable song.
And a drink to forget
Emphasizing the need for a drink to help forget.
A song to remember
Repeating the desire for a song to remember.
And a drink to forget, hey
Repeating the need for a drink to forget.
