Lyrics
Aimlessly gazing upon a sea of history
Aimlessly contemplating the vast expanse of history
Canvass painted with memories
A canvas adorned with memories
Polaroids and videotapes, memento vivere
Polaroids and videotapes, reminders of the joy of living
Quiet recollection leads you to the keys
Quiet reflection guides you towards understanding
Opening doors to mystery
Unlocking doors to the enigma of life
Makes me sonder
Elicits a sense of sonder
The old disdain for present passed
Reflecting on past disdain for the present
Makes me wonder
Provokes contemplation
Those same conversations never seem to last
Noticing that certain conversations are ephemeral
In my little corner of memories
In the personal realm of recollections
I'll never get back them back but that's alright with me
Accepting the inability to reclaim lost moments
I was once that little kid dreaming blissfully
Reflecting on a time when innocence prevailed
Now out the shower, fifty years pass on my feet
Now, after decades, aging is evident
Time may be lost, regrets may be made
Time may be squandered, and mistakes may be made
But as long as we remember, we should live for today
Emphasizing the importance of living in the present through memories
Every face, every fight, every word fades away
Every face, fight, and word eventually fades away
Every second, every step it's all the same
Every passing moment seems uniform
But I'm proud of you, for getting this far
Expressing pride in someone's journey and achievements
Your story's only started, journey's just began
Encouraging the recognition that the story is just beginning
But I'm proud of you, for getting this far
Reiterating pride and advising against dwelling in memories
Don't stare down the hallway, don't sink in memoir
Cautioning against fixating on the past
In my little corner of memories
In the personal realm of recollections (repeated)
I'll never get back them back but that's alright with me
Accepting the inability to reclaim lost moments (repeated)
We were once those little kids dreaming blissfully
Reflecting on a time when innocence prevailed (repeated)
Now out the shower, fifty years pass on our feet
Now, after decades, aging is evident (repeated)
Time may be lost, regrets may be made
Time may be squandered, and mistakes may be made (repeated)
But as long as we remember, we should live for today
Emphasizing the importance of living in the present through memories (repeated)
Saudade
Echoing the feeling of nostalgia and longing (Saudade)
