Memory Boy
Echoes of Lost Homes: Memory Boy's Melancholy Journey
Lyrics
Did you stick with me?
Questioning if someone stayed loyal or committed
Let me jog my memory
Request to help recall memories
I see you leaving
Observing someone departing
Oh, don't forget your TV
Reminder not to forget personal belongings, possibly emphasizing detachment
It's not a house anymore
Repetition emphasizing the transformation of a place, possibly symbolizing change or loss
It's not a house anymore
-It's not a house anymore
-It's not a house anymore
-That October
Referring to a specific October, setting a time frame
He came over every day
Describing frequent visits from someone during that time
The smell of loose leaf
Evoking sensory details, like the smell of loose leaf
Joints on jeans and we would play
Recreation and enjoyment during those times, mentioning playing together
It's not a house anymore oh oh
Repetition emphasizing the transformation of a place
It's not a house anymore oh oh
-It's not a house anymore oh oh
-It's not a house anymore
-Try to recognize your son
Encouraging someone to recognize their son, possibly indicating changes or loss of identity
In your eyes he's gone, gone, gone
Describing the perception that the son is no longer present in the eyes of the speaker
Done, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Repetition emphasizing the absence or departure of the son
Is there anyone?
Pose a question about the presence of anyone
Who wants to see the sun go
Asking if there is someone willing to witness the end of something, possibly a relationship
Down, down, down, down
Repetition emphasizing the descent of the sun, possibly symbolizing the end or decline of something
Down, down, down, down
-Down, down, down, down
-Down, down, down
