I Remember Music
Chasing Ghosts of Melody: Unveiling Life's Silent Symphony
Lyrics
Listen to me partner
Expressing a desire for the listener's attention.
I'll speak to you of happiness
Intending to discuss the concept of happiness.
I'll tell you about a breakwater
Referring to a protective barrier, possibly symbolizing a past sense of security.
But that was long ago I guess
Reflecting on a distant past, suggesting a sense of nostalgia.
Now I'm on a time schedule
Acknowledging a current constraint of time.
I'm sure you are as well
Assuming the listener also has time constraints.
I don't believe in letters and I never learned to spell either
Expressing a disbelief in written communication and spelling skills.
So you can let on that you knew me the way I needed to be known
Inviting the listener to understand the speaker as needed.
The ghost I am, I was long ago
Describing oneself as a ghost from the past.
I gave my life to a memory of music
Having dedicated one's life to the memory of music.
And she just turned her head
Describing a rejection or indifference from the memory of music.
Listen to me partner
Reiterating the call for attention.
I'll tell you how this life was led
Intending to reveal the way the speaker's life was lived.
So secretly so quietly
Describing a secretive and quiet lifestyle.
I chase around what doesn't exist
Pursuing something intangible or non-existent.
Now I'm on a time schedule
Reiterating the presence of time constraints.
I'm sure you are as well
Assuming the listener shares time constraints.
I don't believe in letters and I never learned to spell either
Expressing a lack of belief in written communication and spelling skills (repeated from line 7).
I'll try to look into the eyes of these newborns
Attempting to look into the eyes of newborns for hope.
And try to see the hope that you see
Seeking to see hope in newborns, contrasting with the speaker's own experience.
And not the vacant and desolate shell of experience reflected in me
Noticing a disparity between the hope in newborns and the speaker's desolate experience.
I gave my life to a memory of music
Repeating the dedication of life to the memory of music.
And she just turned her head
Reiterating the rejection or indifference from the memory of music (repeated from line 11).
