Is anybody going to remember
Expresses concern about being remembered or forgotten by others.
Or am I just another person
Doubts personal significance, questioning if they're just another unremarkable individual.
Will I be lost to time in the amber
Wondering if they'll be lost and forgotten over time, akin to being trapped in amber (fossilized resin).
Never to be resurfaced
Concern that their existence may never be rediscovered or acknowledged again.
When I become fossilized and rotten
Imagining the degradation of self, paralleling the decay of fossilization.
Only one thing can conserve me
Belief that only one thing can preserve their memory, suggesting a reliance on something specific.
Cuz' I refuse to be forgotten
Refusal to fade into obscurity or be entirely forgotten.
In my memory, music will preserve me
Belief that music will serve as a means to ensure their memory remains.
