Ink of Memories: Decoding the Haunting Melody
Lyrics
You aren't really on my mind
You are not occupying my thoughts significantly.
Not really all the time
Your presence is not a constant in my mind.
Not really all I find in strangers faces
You don't represent everything I seek in unfamiliar faces.
I've got my own life too
I have my own life with a lot to accomplish.
So very much to do
There's so much to do that I can't dedicate time to write songs for you or revisit our shared spaces.
No time to write songs for you or haunt our places
No time for sentimental reminiscing.
Ooh
(Expressing a sound or sigh indicating contemplation)
What do I do
Questioning what to do next.
With this tattoo
The dilemma of dealing with a tattoo that serves as the only reminder of you.
All I have left of you
The tattoo is the only tangible connection left with you.
You definitely aren't there
Affirming your absence.
Making jokes in your underwear
Recalling moments of humor, possibly from a time when you were more intimate.
Making fun of my morning hair I can't remember
Reflecting on past moments, like making fun of morning hair, which are now distant memories.
How you would hold me tight
Remembering how you used to hold me tightly.
Leave on a crack of light
Leaving a slight opening for light, symbolizing assurance and comfort.
So I'd see that I was alright A dying ember
Recognizing the fading warmth of a relationship, like a dying ember.
Ooh
(Expressing a sound or sigh indicating contemplation)
what do I do
Reiterating the dilemma of what to do with the tattoo.
With this tattoo
The tattoo is a significant remnant of the past relationship.
All I have left of you
(Empty line, possibly emphasizing a pause or emptiness)
You truthfully aren't my type
Admitting that you don't fit the speaker's ideal type.
Not with your smile just right
Your smile, even if perfect, doesn't align with what the speaker is looking for.
Not with your honest eyes
Your honest eyes and good graces don't make you the right match.
And good, good graces
(Empty line, possibly emphasizing a pause or emptiness)
Honey it's plain to see
The connection between the speaker and you was a beautiful but unattainable fantasy.
The bridge between you and me
Acknowledging the impossibility of making the relationship work.
Was a beautiful fantasy we couldn't make it
(Empty line, possibly emphasizing a pause or emptiness)
Ooh
Reiterating the dilemma of what to do with the tattoo, emphasizing the internal struggle.
What do I do
Questioning how to handle the lingering connection represented by the tattoo.
With this tattoo
The tattoo remains as the only tangible piece of the relationship.
All I have left of you
(Empty line, possibly emphasizing a pause or emptiness)
