Reminiscence
Ephemeral Echoes: Embracing the Fade of Beloved Memories
Lyrics
Fragments of the past and their once lurid glow
Fragments of past experiences and their once vivid brightness
Begin to dissipate and fall into obscurity
Start to fade away and become less known or forgotten
They fade increasingly into the long perspective
They gradually become less prominent in the overall view of time
This state of letting go, I've grown to truly loathe
This process of releasing memories is now genuinely detested by the speaker
They begin to slowly erode, and as they start to wither like a tree in winter's hold
Memories begin to decay, resembling a tree losing its leaves in winter
The brilliance of those countless days are now reducing to shades of pale grey
The brilliance of numerous days now fades into dull, grey shades
All the memories I held, so beloved in my mind
All cherished memories once held in the mind
Disappear they cease to feed the hunger in my soul
Disappear and no longer satisfy the speaker's emotional needs
Never did I want to let go
The speaker never wished to release these memories
Yet I must now wonder why
The speaker questions why they must let go now
What were these to me? I just can't see it anymore
The significance of these memories is no longer apparent to the speaker
These fragments and these remnants
These remaining fragments of memories
Once held so dearly yet they have succumbed
Once deeply cherished, but now surrendered to the effects of time
And yielded to the ravages of time
They have succumbed to the damaging effects of passing time
Sight has been long lost in this once radiant sky with elation
Lost the ability to see happiness in this previously vibrant sky
Now reduced to shades of pale grey
Now turned into dull, faded shades of grey
All I loved, and all I held so dear
All that was loved and cherished
The recollections from this life, so fleeting, passed me by
Memories fleeting, passing by swiftly
Like the leaves that turn and then they fall
Similar to leaves that change color and fall
Are they truly bound to never return to me at all?
Questioning if these memories will ever return
All the memories I held, so beloved in my mind
Reiteration of memories once held dearly in the mind
Disappear they cease to feed the hunger in my soul
Vanishing, failing to satisfy the speaker's emotional longing
Never did I want to let go
Unwillingness to release these memories
Yet I must now wonder why
Questioning the reason behind having to let go
What were these to me? I just can't see it anymore
The speaker's inability to perceive the previous significance of these memories
