Memory of You
Unveiling Shadows: The Enigmatic Tale of a Haunting Memory
Lyrics
It's uncanny
Expressing a sense of strangeness or eerie quality.
It's something strange
Referring to an unusual or peculiar nature.
It's something I have
Indicating possession or experience of something.
Long tried to ignore
Acknowledging a persistent issue that has been intentionally avoided.
Behind the curtain
Suggesting hidden aspects or secrets.
Behind the door
Highlighting a concealed space or opportunity.
If I keep my eyes cast down
Choosing to ignore or avoid confronting the issue.
It just might go away
Hope that by not facing it, the problem may disappear.
It's got no name
Describing an unnamed and ambiguous phenomenon.
It's got no shape
Emphasizing the intangible and formless nature of the phenomenon.
It can't be photographed
Stating its inability to be captured in a photograph.
And it lives in no one place
Emphasizing its lack of a fixed location.
It's got no shame
Highlighting its absence of shame.
And it knows no grace
Emphasizing its lack of grace or decency.
And it's got two long arms
Visualizing the phenomenon with two elongated arms.
Reaching out for me
Suggesting a reaching or threatening nature towards the speaker.
I hit the light
Turning on the lights, taking a firm stand to confront the issue.
I'll take my stand
Inviting a challenge or revelation.
Let's have your best
Encouraging openness and honesty.
Show your hand
Requesting a genuine reveal or disclosure.
The shadows run
As the shadows retreat, the truth becomes evident.
And I see true
Recognizing the reality without illusions.
It's just the memory of you
The haunting persistence of the memory of a person.
So what's your pleasure
Asking about the motivation or purpose of the elusive presence.
My phantom friend
Addressing the intangible nature of the accompanying presence.
What thing could bring you out
Questioning the reason for reappearing in the world.
To haunt this world again
Exploring the possibility of revenge or a compelling directive.
Some sweet revenge?
Suggesting a motive related to seeking vengeance.
Some dread command?
Wondering if the purpose is rooted in a frightening command.
Or do you only need
Considering the need for companionship or reassurance.
Someone to hold your hand?
Posing the possibility of comforting or holding hands.
Why did you leave
Questioning the unclear intentions or instructions left behind.
Your will so vague?
Expressing ambiguity or uncertainty in the departed person's will.
Just three blue lines
Describing a minimalistic expression, possibly a letter or note.
Across the page:
Referencing a symbolic division or choice.
You take the vase
Allocating possessions and responsibilities between the speaker and the departed.
I'll keep the rose
Symbolizing keeping a cherished element while parting with the rest.
And the memory of you
The enduring impact of the person in the form of memories.
