Embracing Memories: Lilac Perfume and the Bittersweet Echoes
Lyrics
I know it's been a while since we spoke
Expressing awareness of a long gap in communication.
So I wrote a song
Describing the creation of a song as a form of communication.
Maybe one day
Hopeful anticipation for a future interaction.
You'll be driving along an open highway
Imagining a scenario where the song plays during a journey.
And it'll come on your radio
Suggesting the song might bring back memories when heard on the radio.
And you'll remember
Encouraging the listener to recall challenging moments.
Those moments you tried so hard
Acknowledging difficult memories that one tried to forget.
To forget
Reflecting on past struggles or challenges.
Daughters of beauty
Addressing individuals characterized by beauty.
Please show me your kingdom
Requesting guidance or a glimpse into their world.
Carry me home upon
Desiring a journey back home facilitated by freedom.
Your wings of freedom
Symbolic appeal for liberation from fears.
Let my fears fall
Expressing the desire for personal growth and ascension.
As I rise into the sky
Symbolic ascent into a higher state of being.
Open my soul
Requesting spiritual enlightenment.
And awaken my eyes
Desiring a profound awakening.
Let me remember the taste of you
Longing to remember the essence of someone.
The smell of summer
Recollection of the sensory experiences associated with summer.
And lilac perfume
Specifically recalling the scent of lilac perfume.
Bittersweet bliss
Describing mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.
And saltwater tears
Referencing both happy and sad emotions.
Time seems to blur together
Reflection on the passage of time and its effect on perception.
Over the years
Noting the blending of memories over the years.
I remember the taste of you
Reiteration of the sensory memory associated with a person.
I remember the taste of you
Emphasizing the vivid recollection of a particular taste.
I remember the taste of you
Repeating the emphasis on remembering the taste of someone.
You
Directly addressing the person to be remembered.
You
-You
-You
Affirmation of the commitment to remember the person.
I will remember you
-I will remember you
-I will remember you
-I will remember you
-You
Continuation of the affirmation to remember the person.
