A Certain Kind Of Memory
Eternal Regret: Unveiling the Haunting Echoes of A Certain Kind Of Memory
Lyrics
It's a memory
Expressing the existence of a memory.
A certain kind of memory
Highlighting a specific type or quality of memory.
That you cling to 'til you're dead and gone
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the memory until death.
I try my best to forget, but I just can't shake it
Acknowledging difficulty in trying to forget the memory.
I didn't give you my heart just to break it
Conveying a sense of heartbreak and the pain of betrayal.
Look away my love
Instructing the loved one to avert their gaze.
Look away from me
Reiterating the need for distance and separation.
After you have had your way
Suggesting consequences after a personal encounter.
There won't be nothin' left to see
Anticipating the aftermath of the encounter.
What would my father say
Pondering the hypothetical reaction of the speaker's father.
If he know that I ever came around here?
Expressing concern about being in a particular place.
But oh, the wrath of God
Acknowledging a fear of divine punishment or retribution.
Is all that I truly have to fear
Emphasizing the gravity of the fear.
Look away my love
Repeating the instruction to turn away, reinforcing distance.
Look away from me
Reiterating the plea for the loved one to avert their gaze.
After you have had your way
Reinforcing the idea of consequences after intimacy.
There won't be nothin' left to see
Anticipating the emptiness or void after the encounter.
Now the dust will never settle
Describing a perpetual state of unrest or turmoil.
The wind blows high across the sweeping plains
Depicting a dynamic and forceful environment.
And I will be a single girl
Expressing the speaker's future status as single.
For my days that do remain
Referring to the remaining days of the speaker's life.
How I curse your mother and your father
Expressing resentment towards the loved one's parents.
And the very day that you were born
Cursing the circumstances of the loved one's birth.
For the girl that once lied in your arms
Reflecting on the past intimacy and the subsequent grief.
Is the girl that I will forever mourn
Expressing enduring sorrow for the lost relationship.
Look away my love
Repeating the plea for the loved one to turn away.
Look away from me
Reiterating the need for distance and separation.
After you have had your way
Anticipating the consequences after the loved one's actions.
There won't be nothin' left to see
Emphasizing the finality of the consequences.
