Eternal Memories: A Reflection on Love, Lies, and the Unseen Sunsets
Lyrics
Do you remember all of the lies that I once told you
Reflecting on past dishonesty and deception in the relationship.
When we were younger I had a heart that wasn't for you
Acknowledging a time when the speaker's heart belonged to someone else.
Then we ran together to our end
Recalling shared experiences and the journey towards an uncertain outcome.
Never saw the sunset over Paris
Expressing a sense of missed opportunities and unfulfilled experiences.
Made each other laugh for a blink in time
Highlighting moments of joy and laughter shared during a brief period.
Though I know we'll never see each other
Accepting the reality that a reunion is unlikely.
I promise to keep you alive
Promising to preserve the memory of the person in a meaningful way.
I'll remember you just like I ought to
Committing to remembering the person as they truly were.
Do you think we ever really die
Raising a philosophical question about the permanence of existence.
Years they grow heavy on my soul
Weighing the burden of time and its impact on the speaker's soul.
Wonder if you'd recognize me though
Contemplating the possibility of being unrecognizable due to time's passage.
Reminiscing makes me wonder
Nostalgically considering the past and its implications on the present.
If I went the wrong way after all
Questioning past decisions and wondering about alternative paths taken.
It's hard to find your place
Expressing difficulty in finding one's purpose or identity.
Never saw the sunset over Paris
Reiterating the theme of missed opportunities, specifically the sunset over Paris.
Made each other laugh for a blink in time
Recalling shared laughter as a fleeting and precious moment.
Though I know we'll never see each other
Reaffirming the unlikely possibility of a reunion.
I promise to keep you alive
Reiterating the promise to preserve the memory of the person.
I'll remember you just like I ought to
Committing to remembering the person in a manner befitting their essence.
Do you think we ever really die
Pondering the existential question of whether memories endure beyond death.
