Arms Around a Memory
Embracing Echoes: Navigating Love's Fading Memories
Lyrics
Hot sweats in cold sweaters
Experiencing discomfort or anxiety, feeling emotionally conflicted
I feel a little lost since you've been gone
Feeling a sense of confusion or disorientation after the person's departure
The blame helps you feel better
Shifting responsibility or fault onto someone else as a coping mechanism
Until you run across the cloud I'm on
Realizing the emotional distance between oneself and the other person
You're reaching for a hand that's in the past
Trying to hold onto something from the past that's no longer reachable
And beaches where the sand has turned to glass
Recalling places or moments that have changed drastically, becoming unrecognizable
Your television life couldn't channel this love
Comparing the depth of love to something beyond the limits of typical experiences
You can't put your arms around a memory
Reiterating the inability to physically hold onto memories, expressing longing and conflict regarding the person's presence or absence
You can't put your arms around a memory
-And now I'm wishing you were here
-As much as I wish you would disappear
-So will you remember to forget me?
-You can't put your arms around a memory (a memory)
-Can't put your arms around a memory (a memory)
-And will you remember to forget me?
-You can't put your arms around a memory (a memory)
-A life boat in dead water
Metaphorically describing a sense of stagnation or being stuck in a difficult situation
A ship inside, a battle that we broke
Feeling trapped within a conflict or struggle that caused a rupture
And we lost our true colours
Losing authenticity or genuineness during the ordeal
We opened every door until we closed
Exploring possibilities until reaching a point of closure
And I could feel you in my air tonight
Sensing the presence of the person even when physically apart
Coming through the waves in satellites
Feeling the person's influence or communication indirectly, possibly through technology
But our city skies will never light up
Realizing the absence of a vibrant or lively atmosphere in the current context
You can't put your arms around a memory
Repeated emphasis on the impossibility of physically embracing memories, questioning whether the person will remember to move on
You can't put your arms around a memory
-And now I'm wishing you were here
-As much as I wish you would disappear
-So will you remember to forget me?
-You can't put your arms around a memory (a memory)
-Can't put your arms around a memory (a memory)
-Can't put your arms around a memory
-And will you remember to forget me?
-You can't put your arms around a memory (a memory)
-Hot sweats in cold sweaters
Repeating the initial sense of discomfort or unease felt since the person's departure
I feel a little lost since you've been gone
