Chasing Memories: Element 101's Reflective Journey of Love and Distance
Lyrics
It's kind of funny how it works
Reflecting on the ironic nature of memories and emotions.
But as soon as I left
Upon departure, memories of shared days resurface.
All the days that we spent
Recollection of the time spent together.
Came back to me
Past experiences come flooding back.
So I sat down real still
Sitting quietly, contemplating with a letter in hand.
With your letter in my hand
The physical presence of a letter intensifies the reflection.
And I thought of that one night long ago
Nostalgia triggered by a specific night from the past.
When I ran into the park when it was dark
Recalling a moment of running into a park during the night.
I didn't know if you could find me in the night
Uncertainty about being found in the darkness.
I got so scared that I went running after you
Fear leading to chasing after someone.
I still remember how you look
Vivid memory of the person's appearance.
It's in the pictures of my mind
Imagery stored in the mind encapsulating the person's look.
I hold your hand inside my head
A symbolic holding of hands within thoughts.
I hold your smile in my dreams
The person's smile retained in the realm of dreams.
It's strange enough to think
Contemplation on the strangeness of distance.
That there's a million miles
A metaphorical expression of the vast physical separation.
Keeping me from sitting next to you
The distance preventing physical closeness.
Well I know I can't drive
Realization of personal limitations, unable to drive.
And I know I can't walk to you
Acknowledgment of inability to physically reach the person.
Do you remember that one night long ago
Revisiting the same night previously mentioned.
