She Made a Memory out of Me
Echoes of Love Lost: She Crafted a Memory
Lyrics
You're looking at a man that's almost gone
The speaker feels he's on the verge of departing.
Had a good woman and I went and did her wrong
He had a good woman in his life but mistreated her.
Honey found out I was lovin' double time
The speaker was unfaithful and got caught cheating.
She moved me from her heart to the back of her mind
As a consequence of his actions, the woman emotionally distanced herself from him.
She made a memory out of me
The woman turned the speaker into a memory.
Just a vision of the past is all you see
Now, the speaker is only remembered as a past image.
Like a statue of stone a part of history
He's likening himself to a statue, something unchanging and belonging to the past.
Yeah, that woman made a memory out of me
The woman's actions turned him into a memory that remains.
Lord, I'm so low down for what I've done
The speaker feels deeply remorseful for his actions.
I don't even make a shadow when I'm walking in the sun
He feels invisible and insignificant due to his wrongdoing.
I hide my face, hang my chin
He's ashamed and tries to hide his face in shame.
Just another sad story 'bout an old has been
He sees himself as a sad tale of a person who used to be relevant but is now past his prime.
She made a memory out of me
Reiteration of being reduced to a memory by the woman.
Just a vision of the past is all you see
Continuing to emphasize being only a past image.
Like a statue of stone a part of history
Comparing himself to an unchanging historical figure.
Yeah, that woman made a memory out of me
The woman's act of turning him into a memory is reiterated.
Say Lord, that baby made a memory out of me
He asks the Lord to acknowledge how the woman made him a mere memory.
Just a vision of the past is all you see
Reiteration of being remembered solely as a past vision.
Like a statue of stone a part of history
Comparing himself to an unchanging historical artifact again.
Yeah, that woman made a memory out of me
Re-emphasizing how the woman turned him into a memory.
Lord, that baby made a memory out of me
Repeating how the woman made him a memory, emphasizing his lasting insignificance.
