Navigating Memories: A Reflection on Life's Healing Moments
Lyrics
It’s cold out here but I keep warm beside the fire
Despite the cold, the speaker finds warmth by a fire.
I said memories ain’t gonna keep you warm
The speaker acknowledges that memories alone cannot provide comfort.
But as usual I was wrong
The speaker admits to being wrong, possibly about relying on memories.
It’s a messed up thing to do I know you would say
Reflecting on a regrettable action, the speaker anticipates disapproval.
Burning these old photographs
The speaker is burning old photographs, symbolizing a desire to move on.
But I’m done looking at the past
Expressing a resolution to stop dwelling on the past.
Like when I cut myself with your fishing knife out on your boat
Recalling an incident of self-harm with a fishing knife on a boat.
You gently placed the band-aid on
The speaker's partner gently tends to the wound, showing care.
And winced as if you felt the sting
The partner winces, conveying empathy for the speaker's pain.
But it didn’t wanna stop bleeding
The wound doesn't stop bleeding, indicating lingering emotional pain.
It’s a funny thing
Reflecting on the ironic and unpredictable nature of life.
The doctor said with smiling eyes
A doctor, with smiling eyes, comments on the situation.
As I told myself to memorise
The speaker decides to memorize the moment, emphasizing its significance.
Everything just as it was
A commitment to preserving everything just as it was in that moment.
In that split second because
Stressing the importance of capturing the essence of a fleeting moment.
There are these moments you just know
Acknowledging certain moments that hold special, intuitive significance.
You’ll wanna take with you below
Expressing a desire to carry those special moments into the future.
You’ll wanna take with you even though
Reaffirming the wish to hold onto cherished moments despite challenges.
Where you’re going, you’re going alone
Recognizing a journey where the speaker will face solitude.
You’re going alone
Emphasizing the solitary nature of the journey ahead.
