THE RIDDLE
Chasing Memories: Embracing Life's Unanswered Questions
Lyrics
Looking behind, searching the feels
Reflecting on the past, exploring emotions
It should’ve hurt but I recall the thrills
Despite potential pain, memories are thrilling
I haven’t forgotten and I’m just used to it
Not forgetting, adapting to the experience
It’s kinda glowing in the dark it holds
A mysterious and enduring quality in the darkness
Still
Continuation or persistence
You’ve became what they’re calling past
The past has become what people refer to as history
I should’ve known that it couldn’t last
Anticipating that the past was not sustainable
It could be easy and it could be fast
Potential for an easy and quick resolution
But I still carry all the questions
Carrying unresolved questions never posed
I’ve never asked
Unasked inquiries linger
Somewhere, you could be fine
Hopeful perspective where things could be fine
Somewhere, you have to find
A need to discover a positive outcome
Somewhere, he’s not the one
A realization that someone is not the right one
You came through miles and miles of rain and sometimes bit of lights
Navigating challenges, including rain and occasional lights
But he’s a shooting star
A person is like a fleeting and bright phenomenon
Don’t ask for the unreal
Advising against seeking the unattainable
Don’t beg for senseless feels
Discouraging pursuit of senseless emotions
Don’t pray for awful sins
Warning against praying for negative actions
We’ve played and I got lost
Acknowledging a game played and getting lost in it
Guess I’m not strong enough to act the way I did
Recognition of personal weakness in past actions
Somewhere, you could be fine
Similar to line 13, suggesting hope for a positive outcome
Somewhere, you have to find
Reiteration of the need to search for a positive outcome
Somewhere, he’s not the one
Repeating the realization that someone is not the right one
You came through miles and miles of rain and sometimes bit of lights
Repeating the challenges faced, including rain and lights
But he’s a shooting star
Reiteration of the fleeting nature of a person
Somewhere, you could be fine
Continuation of the theme of hope for a positive outcome
Somewhere, you have to find
Continued emphasis on the search for a positive resolution
Somewhere, he’s not the one
Reaffirmation that someone is not the right one
You came through miles and miles of rain and sometimes bit of lights
Repetition of facing challenges, including rain and lights
But he’s a shooting star
Reiterating the transient nature of a person
You are afraid of songs
Fearful of the impact of songs, possibly related to memories
You’re scared of hearing what was wrong
Aversion to confronting past mistakes or issues
But I need to move on
An acknowledgment of the necessity to move forward
