Forgot My Name
Lost in Existence: Clément Leroux's Reflection on Identity
Lyrics
So many mistakes,
Feeling regretful about numerous mistakes.
… were they made in vain?
Questioning if the mistakes served any purpose.
Who can tell?
Expressing uncertainty about the outcomes of the mistakes.
Reachin’ for the stars,
Striving for ambitious goals (stars) but achieving something significant (moon).
… landed on the moon,
Acknowledging a fall or setback after reaching a significant point.
Before I fell.
Reflecting on the consequences of the fall.
I forgot my name,
Experiencing a loss of identity or self-awareness.
I don’t know my name anymore,
Reiterating the confusion and loss of identity.
I forgot my name,
Emphasizing the continued struggle with identity loss.
I don’t know my name anymore,
Repeating the theme of not recognizing one's own identity.
I was so close,
Expressing proximity to success just before a recent time.
Just the other day,
Recalling a recent experience and questioning if there's more to share.
Have I more to say?
Pondering the need for further communication or expression.
I ask myself,
Reflecting on self and contemplating the purpose of actions.
What’s the point anyway?
Expressing doubt about the significance or meaning of life.
Hurtling through space,
Using the metaphor of hurtling through space to convey the fast-paced nature of life.
… the sun on my face,
Experiencing extremes, from the warmth of the sun to the coldness of ice.
… cold as ice,
Highlighting the contrasting and unpredictable nature of life's experiences.
Tuning the world out,
Blocking out the external world to protect oneself.
Just to let them in,
Opening up to others despite the desire to be isolated.
What a life,
Reflecting on the complexities and contradictions of life.
I forgot my name,
Reiterating the struggle with forgetting one's own identity.
I don’t know my name anymore,
Reaffirming the confusion and loss of personal identity.
I forgot my name,
Stressing the ongoing difficulty of remembering one's own name.
I don’t know my name anymore.
Repeating the theme of not recognizing one's own identity.
