Remember Me Fondly
Chasing Shadows of Love: Echidna Candy Store's Melancholic Reflection
Lyrics
The colour drained from my face
The speaker feels a loss of vitality or emotion.
Blue skies turned to grey
Positive circumstances have turned bleak or depressing.
Black and white streets in photographs became my every day
Ordinary scenes have become the speaker's regular experience, devoid of color or vitality.
Who was I to think that I could walk away?
The speaker regrets assuming they could depart from a situation.
I was torn up by the words you heard me say
The speaker's words have caused internal conflict or distress.
I pause at the door
The speaker hesitates before departing.
I turn and watch you sink to the floor
The speaker witnesses someone they care about succumb to distress.
There's got to be more to life
The speaker desires more fulfillment in life.
than an empty promise and red lights
Life's experiences seem hollow or unfulfilling.
The flickering lamp at your bedside
A symbol of the desire to remain present in someone's life.
I want to stay so much more than you think
The speaker wishes to be more present than perceived.
To see you writing your poems in black ink
The speaker wants to witness someone's creative process intimately.
Turn the page and read on
A metaphor for progressing in life and continuing the story.
I will sing you this song
The speaker pledges to communicate their feelings through music.
Until we end the chapter
The intention to conclude a phase or relationship.
As you walk these roads you'll see
Recognition of shared experiences in everyday life.
Reflections in windows of you and me
Hopes for shared memories reflected in ordinary moments.
I hope that you remember me fondly
The wish for the listener to have positive memories of the speaker.
My eyes are beginning to tire
The speaker's eyes are fatigued due to emotional strain.
I dance with your memory by the fire
The speaker reminisces about the past with emotions akin to a dance.
The embers are singing a love song...
The remnants of a relationship or feelings continue to express themselves.
And it burns
The emotional experience is intense and painful.
I don't know if you would care
The uncertainty about the significance of the speaker's actions to the listener.
to know that I was fully aware of my absence
The speaker was conscious of their absence and its impact.
And it made my lead feet wander to the thought of you
Thoughts of the listener lead the speaker's movements.
Turn the page and read on
A repetition of the desire to continue the story of their relationship.
I will sing you this song
The commitment to communicate feelings through song persists.
Until we end the chapter
Continuing until a phase or relationship comes to an end.
As you walk these roads you'll see
Recognition of shared experiences in life's journey.
Reflections in windows of you and me
Hopes for shared memories reflected in ordinary moments.
I hope that you remember me fondly
A final hope for the listener to cherish fond memories of the speaker.
