MEMORY LANE
Journey Through Flames: Prince Ashtray's Memory Lane
Lyrics
I'm fucked up again
Expressing being emotionally distressed or mentally unstable again.
I ain't walking straight
Feeling physically unstable, not walking steadily.
Always in my own way
Consistently obstructing own progress or success.
Always alone in my own way
Being consistently isolated or distant in one's own unique manner.
Yeah, yeah
An exclamation expressing agreement or affirmation.
I took a walk today
Took a stroll recently.
To burn down Memory Lane
Metaphorically aiming to erase or destroy memories.
The echoes of your face
Memories of someone's image resurfacing strongly.
Stood dancing in the flames
The image seemed lively and vivid amidst destruction.
Went on a walk today
Repeated the action of erasing memories.
To burn down Memory Lane
Repetition of trying to erase memories, particularly the image of someone.
Echoes of your face
Similar to line 8, the persistence of vivid memories.
Stood dancing through the flames
Even amidst destruction, the image remained lively.
Cancel out my pain
Desire to nullify or alleviate emotional suffering.
Knives inside my brain
Metaphor for intense mental anguish or torment.
Hallucinate your grave
Imagining or perceiving the grave of the person.
Stays with me to this day
The imagined grave remains a vivid memory.
Ride with me as I take
Inviting someone to accompany through memory recall.
A walk down Memory Lane
Symbolically wanting to destroy past memories.
Carpet bomb this place
Metaphorically aiming to obliterate memories completely.
I still feel the fire rage
Still feeling the intensity of past emotional turmoil.
And all I've got is pain
Expressing enduring pain as the only feeling.
The only the to take your place
Nothing else capable of replacing the person's absence.
The only thing to keep the pace
The only thing that maintains the rhythm or stability.
With the graveyard in my brain
Metaphorically, the memories are overwhelming and consuming.
Collapse my day to day
Wanting to condense life into a single meaningful moment.
Into one moment, I remain
Desire to remain fixated on a particular memory or feeling.
Trapped in my crystal cage
Feeling trapped within one's emotional confinement.
With reflections of your face
Seeing reflections of the person's face in confinement.
In this moment, I remain
Desire to linger in a specific poignant memory.
Went on a walk today
Repeated the action of trying to erase memories.
To burn down Memory Lane
Metaphorically aiming to erase or destroy memories again.
Echoes of your face
The persistence of vivid memories despite attempts to erase.
Stood dancing through the flames
Similar to line 9 and 13, vivid memories amidst destruction.
Cancel out my pain
Desire to nullify or alleviate emotional suffering.
Knives inside my brain
Metaphor for intense mental anguish or torment.
Hallucinate your grave
Imagining or perceiving the grave of the person.
Stays with me to this day
The imagined grave remains a vivid memory.
It feels absurd to be alive
Expressing the surreal feeling of being alive despite hardships.
It feels absurd to have survived
Feeling surreal or strange for having survived past difficulties.
