Frozen Memories: Nostalgic Journey Through Pixelated Moments
Lyrics
Send me the JPEGs I'll save 'em on a hard drive
Requesting digital images to preserve memories on a storage device.
Cause I don't wanna forget the whole winter we spent freezing outside
Expressing a desire to remember a past winter spent together despite the cold.
You were running in the snow
Recalling a moment when the subject was seen running in the snow.
My cell phone shutter was too slow
Difficulty capturing the moment due to a slow phone camera.
I still remember the picture you took on a razor
Memorable photo taken on an old phone 16 years ago.
Sixteen years ago
Referencing a photo captured long ago.
Lost on a broken camera phone
Regret over losing memories stored on a broken camera phone.
A quarter of my life
A significant portion of life that's been lost or inaccessible.
Gone when my laptop's hard drive died
Memories lost due to a computer hard drive failure.
On an old CD
Images stored on an old CD, now inaccessible.
There's 100s of pictures of you and me
Reference to numerous unseen photos of past moments.
That I'll never see again
Sorrow over the inability to view those captured memories again.
I burned us a mixtape
Creation of a mixtape symbolizing shared experiences.
An anthem for a night drive
Anthem made for a memorable night drive.
You got so mad at me when I scratched the CD you ran a red light
Conflict over a scratched CD during a drive.
Found a photo from the show
Discovery of a pixelated band promo photo.
A point and shoot pixelated band promo
Reflection on past aspirations and the passage of time.
Thought we do this forever my friends all together
Nostalgia for a time when forever seemed possible.
That was 16 years ago
Recognition of a distant past, unable to recall everyone in a group photo.
Couldn't name half the faces in the group photo
Realization of a significant time spent with unfamiliar faces.
I spent a quarter of my life
Quarter of life spent with forgotten or unrecognizable people.
With people that I wouldn't even recognize
Reflection on the passage of time and changing relationships.
On an old CD there's hundreds of pictures and memories
Memories stored on a CD that cannot be revisited.
That'll never be again
Reiteration of the loss of irreplaceable memories.
That'll never be again
Reaffirming the irreplaceable nature of lost memories.
I found a few photos in the attic at my parents' house
Discovery of old photos at parents' house, not digitized.
Pulled from a can never got these things scanned
Reflecting on the lack of preservation of nostalgic items.
Pure nostalgia dose
Feeling nostalgic upon rediscovering old photos.
Dan was waiting for the bus
Description of a past moment involving familiar faces.
Homecoming teens braces faces and young loves
Recollection of teenage memories and emotions.
Happy hurting from these bittersweet memories I can't let go of
Mixed emotions attached to nostalgic memories.
Then we moved out your brother from the bedroom where we grew up
Moving out of a childhood home, symbolizing change.
Notes above your bed wrote with pencil and pen
Notations on a wall representing memories of growth.
Paint would cover-up
Intent to preserve memories despite changes.
I took a picture of the words to remember who we were
Documenting written memories for preservation.
I won't lose it this time, I'll keep the memories alive
Determination to hold onto memories this time.
Sixteen years ago
Recollection of a moment from sixteen years ago.
Friends til the end you're my cornerstone
Appreciation for enduring friendships.
A quarter of my life
A significant portion of life intertwined with a friendship.
Never knew what it meant til it passed me by
Realization of the value of past experiences only after they've passed.
On an old CD there's hundreds of demos you wrote with me
Reference to lost musical creations.
That I'll never sing again
Regret over the inability to revisit or perform those songs.
That I'll never sing again
Emphasis on the loss of singing those songs again.
Never sing again
Reiteration of the inability to sing those songs again.
That I'll never sing again
Reaffirming the loss of the ability to perform those songs.
Never sing again
Final emphasis on the inability to sing those songs again.
