Lyrics

From the wrinkles on my forehead

Reflecting on the passage of time and experiences through physical signs like wrinkles on the forehead.

To the mud upon my shoe

Everything's a memory

Life is a collection of memories, encapsulating the past and its impact on the present.

With strings that tie to you

In my dream I'm often running

To the place that's out of you

Of every kind of memory

With strings that tie to you

Though a change has taken place

And I no longer do adore her

Still every God forsaken place is always

Suggesting that reminders of the person are omnipresent, emphasizing the inescapability of memories.

Right around the corner

Implying that challenging or negative situations are always close by, regardless of the change in emotions.


Now I know it's either them or me

Recognizing a conflict or choice between the speaker and external factors, possibly related to memories of the person.

So I'll bury every clue

And every kind of memory

With strings that tie to you

And every kind of memory

With strings that tie to you
