Memories Not Made
Embracing the Unwritten: Reflecting on Time and Blessings
Lyrics
When it's hard looking at pictures
Reflecting on photographs becomes difficult
Without feeling sad
Results in a sense of sadness
About memories not made
Expressing regret about missed memories
And people having passed
Acknowledging the loss of people
It reminds me I'm getting older
Realization of aging
And so is everyone else
Acknowledging the universal aging process
Feels like the days are getting shorter
Perception of time passing quickly
Sitting here by myself
Being alone and contemplating life
Never ending contemplation
Continuous deep thought and reflection
Please remind me why we're here
Seeking a reminder of life's purpose
I like to look in my rear view mirror
Preferentially looking at the past
Forget to look ahead
Neglecting to focus on the future
Oh, and wondering about the future
Contemplating the unknown ahead
While living in the past
Living in past memories while pondering the future
All these answers to made up questions
Recognizing irrelevant, fabricated questions
Get me out of my own head
Desire to escape self-imposed mental burdens
But I guess it doesn't matter
Accepting the insignificance of personal concerns
The earth spins anyway
Acknowledging the constant rotation of life
So when it feels a little pointless
Finding moments purposeless at times
I'd say that's okay
Acceptance of life's occasional meaninglessness
So I count my blessings
Expressing gratitude for positive aspects in life
And enjoy these moments
Appreciating and savoring present experiences
When nostalgia sets me free
Feeling liberated when overwhelmed by nostalgia
