After the Flood
Unearthed Memories: Finding Love After the Flood
Lyrics
Take a good look around
Encourages introspection and observation of one's surroundings.
At the keys you keep
Reflecting on the choices and decisions one holds dear.
That go to things that won’t be found
Alluding to possessions that are elusive or lost.
And old photographs
Examining the significance of old pictures.
Shed some light on who you are from the you’s that passed
Understanding oneself in the context of past experiences and people.
After the flood came
Refers to a significant event or change, possibly a metaphorical flood.
And drowned all your memories that day
Loss of memories or a life-changing incident that washed them away.
Did you notice if love was hiding in that old shoebox
Questioning if love was present in the memories lost.
You buried well away
Possibly hiding sentimental items as a form of emotional protection.
Sea shells back to shore
Objects returned, symbolizing recovery and renewal.
Coins and concert ticket stubs
Remnants of experiences, including money and concert memories.
Awards no more
Awards that may have lost significance or relevance.
Clever Christmas cards
Mention of thoughtful Christmas cards, possibly from a past relationship.
From a girl who still believed
A girl's belief in a simpler life, contrasting with present difficulties.
Life didn’t need to be so hard
Reflection on the challenges of life.
After the flood came
Reiteration of the impact of a significant event, the flood.
And drowned all your memories that day
Reemphasizing the loss of memories during the flood.
Did you notice if love was hiding in that old shoebox
Repeating the question of whether love was present in lost memories.
You buried well away
Revisiting the theme of burying love and memories for protection.
Did you notice if love was hiding in that old shoebox
Reiterating the question about hidden love in stored memories.
You buried well away
Continuation of exploring the concept of burying love.
