Faded
Shades of Remembrance: Jenna Jane's Poignant Reflections on Fading Memories
Lyrics
What do you do when memories fade
Contemplating how to cope when memories diminish.
Colors all gone and washed away
Describing a loss of vibrant colors associated with memories.
You try to play it back it's never the same
Attempting to recall memories, but the experience is not the same.
All that's left is white, black, and gray
Expressing that only neutral colors (white, black, and gray) remain.
And you try to remember, what it's like in that moment
Reflecting on the effort to recall the specifics of a past moment.
And you try to forget, that you're gone and faded
Acknowledging the challenge of forgetting the faded memories.
Did I ever really know you, what's it like up there
Doubting the depth of understanding about someone, possibly a departed person.
Do you see what I see, cause this is so unfair
Questioning whether the observer perceives the same things as the departed.
They tell me I'm just like you, do I even know myself
Expressing uncertainty about self-awareness in comparison to the departed.
My vision seems so faded, I could really use your help
Feeling lost and in need of guidance from the departed.
I was so young I didn't understand
Recalling a time of innocence and lack of understanding.
I guess for you they had other plans
Suggesting that plans for the observer differed from expectations.
It's sad to say I can't recall
Expressing difficulty in remembering specific details.
What your voice sounds like after this all
Unable to recall the sound of the departed's voice after the events.
And you try to remember, what it's like in that moment
Reiterating the attempt to recall a past moment.
And you try to forget, that you're gone and faded
Acknowledging the challenge of forgetting the faded memories, emphasizing the absence of the departed.
Did I ever really know you, what's it like up there
Expressing doubt about truly understanding the departed.
Do you see what I see, cause this is so unfair
Raising questions about shared perceptions with the departed and expressing the unfairness of the situation.
They tell me I'm just like you, do I even know myself
Reflecting on the uncertainty of self-awareness compared to the departed.
My vision seems so faded, I could really use your help
Expressing the blurred vision and the need for assistance from the departed.
And I've tried to remember, what it's like in that moment
Continuing the struggle to recall the specifics of a past moment.
And I've tried to forget, that you're gone and faded
Emphasizing the ongoing challenge of forgetting the faded memories and acknowledging the absence of the departed.
