You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory
Embracing Loss: Unveiling the Poignant Message in Hollywood Vampires' Song
Lyrics
It doesn't pay to try
It's not rewarding to attempt something.
All the smart boys know why
Intelligent individuals understand the reasons behind it.
It doesn't mean I didn't try
Even though I made an effort,
I just never knew why
I never comprehended the reasons for it.
Feel so cold and all alone
Feeling emotionally distant and solitary.
Cause baby, you're not at home
Because, darling, you're not present at our usual place.
And when I'm home
And when I'm there,
Big deal, I'm still alone
It doesn't matter much, I'm still by myself.
Feel so restless, I am
Feeling agitated and unable to relax,
Beat my head against a pole
Physically hurting myself out of frustration.
Try to knock some sense
Attempting to comprehend things deeply within me.
Down in my bones
Despite efforts, these thoughts or feelings aren't apparent.
Even though they don't show
The wounds or emotional pain aren't visibly evident.
The scars aren't so old
The emotional wounds aren't very old.
And when they go, yeah
But when they disappear,
They let you know, yeah
They make it clear to you.
You can't put your arms around a memory
It's impossible to embrace or hold onto a memory.
You can't put your arms around a memory
No matter how hard you try,
You can't put your arms around a memory
Memories cannot be physically grasped or held.
Don't try, don't try
So, it's futile to attempt.
You're just a bastard kid
Referencing oneself as an illegitimate child,
And you got no name
Without an identity or recognition.
Cause you're living with me
Living in close association with me,
We're one and the same
We are essentially the same.
And even though they don't show
Similar to before,
The scars aren't so old
The emotional wounds aren't visibly evident.
And when they go
But when they fade away,
They sure let you know
They certainly make it clear.
You can't put your arms around a memory
It's impossible to embrace or hold onto a memory.
You can't put your arms around a memory
No matter how hard you try,
You can't put your arms around a memory
Memories cannot be physically grasped or held.
Don't try, don't try
So, it's pointless to attempt.
You can't put your arms around a memory
It's impossible to embrace or hold onto a memory.
You can't put your arms around a memory
No matter how hard you try,
You can't put your arms around a memory
Memories cannot be physically grasped or held.
You can't put your arms around a memory
So, it's futile to attempt.
You can't put your arms around a memory
It's impossible to embrace or hold onto a memory.
You can't put your arms around a memory
No matter how hard you try,
Don't try, don't try
Memories cannot be physically grasped or held.
