Memoriam
Reflections Unveiled: A Journey of Independence in 'Memoriam'
Lyrics
I said "go to the other side of the room"
I instructed someone to move to the opposite side of the room.
But you said something when you did
The person responded with words when they moved.
That isn't what I meant
I clarify that their response wasn't what I intended or expected.
I wanna think and not be pushed
Expressing a desire to contemplate without external pressure.
I wanna think and not be pushed
Repetition emphasizing the desire to think without being pushed.
It seems you'll never understand
Conveying frustration that the person doesn't seem to comprehend.
So I'm walking out
Deciding to leave the situation or relationship.
But I've seen these streets before
Recognizing familiarity with the surroundings despite the decision to leave.
So what will I say? What will I sing?
Pondering what words or songs will be used to express the departure.
When I wanna think and not be pushed
Reiterating the desire to think without external influence.
I wanna think and not be pushed
Emphasizing the persistent wish to think independently.
I've filled these holes in the wall with cement
Filling metaphorical holes in life with stability and permanence.
It'll stand out and cement my place
Expecting the actions to be noticeable and solidify one's position.
Soon I'll be ripping these pages in half
Planning to metaphorically tear apart written records or experiences.
But please don't point it out
Requesting others not to draw attention to the tearing apart process.
Someone once told me "it's okay if it's true"
Recalling advice that it's acceptable if it's truthful.
But truthfully I'm at a loss of words
Confessing difficulty expressing the truth with words.
So I'll keep ripping these pages in half
Committing to continue tearing apart experiences or memories.
It'll turn into something, someday
Believing that the tearing apart will transform into something meaningful.
I wanna think and not be pushed
Reiterating the desire for independent thought without external influence.
I wanna think and not be pushed
Repeating the strong wish to think without being pushed.
One day I'll look back at this in memoriam
Anticipating a future reflection on the current situation with a sense of memorialization.
Memorial, I can't live off of you
Acknowledging that mere memorialization is insufficient for sustenance.
