Persistent Vision
Unforgotten Echoes: Wrestling with a Persistent Vision
Lyrics
I was the champion of forgive forget
I used to be someone who championed the idea of forgiving and forgetting.
But I haven't found a way
However, I haven't figured out a way to forgive you yet.
To forgive you yet
Despite my efforts, I still struggle to forgive you.
And though I know you and I are through
Although I acknowledge that our relationship is over.
All my thoughts are lines converging in on you
All my thoughts are focused on you, even though we are no longer together.
I wish sometimes, the mind were blind
I sometimes wish that the mind could be blind to certain thoughts.
I see, what must be seen
I observe what needs to be seen.
To feel, what can't be real
I try to feel things that may not be real.
To know, what's done is done - it goes on and on
I understand that what's done is done, and life continues endlessly.
I am the victim of a persistent vision
I feel like a victim of a recurring vision or memory.
It tracks me down with it's precision
This vision haunts me with its accuracy and persistence.
And though I know you're not in my eyes
Even though I know you're not physically present, thoughts of you linger.
I can't seem to clear you from my mind
I struggle to remove you from my thoughts.
I wish sometimes, the mind were blind
I sometimes wish that the mind could be blind to certain thoughts (repeated).
I see, what must be seen
I observe what needs to be seen (repeated).
To feel, what can't be real
I try to feel things that may not be real (repeated).
To know, what's done is done - goes on and on
I understand that what's done is done, and life continues endlessly (repeated).
Help me. I can't see at all.
A plea for help, expressing a sense of complete blindness or confusion.
I was the champion of forgive forget
I used to champion the idea of forgiving and forgetting (repeated).
But I haven't a way to forgive you yet
However, I still haven't found a way to forgive you (repeated).
And though I know you're not in my eyes
Even though you're not physically present, thoughts of you persist (repeated).
I can't clear persistent vision
I struggle to clear the recurring vision or memory (repeated).
