I Remember How to Forget
Finding Redemption: Unveiling Life's Lessons in 'I Remember How to Forget'
Lyrics
Too many struggles, too many scenes
There have been too many difficulties and too many moments.
A broken record of miseries
Repeated experiences of pain and suffering.
And if you let it, it makes you cry
If allowed, these experiences provoke tears.
And you can never be satisfied
One can never find contentment amidst these experiences.
I see the victims of low esteem
Observing individuals with low self-worth.
The empty people without a dream
People who lack aspirations and ambitions.
The bitter faces of bitter men
Seeing the resentful expressions of unhappy men.
And I don't want to end up one of them
Expressing a desire not to become like them.
How will it make me cry
How these experiences might bring about tears.
If I won't let a tear in my eye
Questioning the impact if one refuses to cry.
How will it make me feel worse
How these experiences could worsen feelings.
If I won't let it hurt
Choosing not to let these experiences cause pain.
I've been through trouble before
Having faced troubles previously.
I stood tall when I got up off the floor
Standing strong after facing difficulties.
To find myself a different situation
Finding oneself in a different situation.
Now when the sun rolls across the sky
Observing the passage of time.
And the autumn leaves fall before my eyes
Noticing the changing seasons and their symbolic significance.
I can see the reason why
Realizing the purpose behind experiences.
I remember how to forget
Recalling the ability to forget despite remembering.
Too many troubles and memories
Too many troubles and memories haunting.
Of disappointment and apathy
Memories of letdowns and lack of interest.
And if you let it, it makes you hate
If permitted, these memories breed hatred.
You've got to learn to take it day by day
Learning to manage these emotions one day at a time.
I see the victims of low esteem
Noticing individuals with low self-worth again.
The empty people without a dream
Encountering people devoid of aspirations.
The bitter faces of bitter men
Seeing the resentful faces of unhappy men again.
But I don't want to be one of them
Desiring not to become part of that group.
I see the sun roll across the sky
Observing the cycle of time once more.
And the autumn leaves fall before my eyes
Witnessing the changing seasons yet again.
And I know the reason why
Understanding the reason behind feeling fine.
I feel so fine
Expressing a sense of contentment.
