Chasing Memories in the City of Sleepless Nights
Lyrics
I need a memory
I desire a lasting memory
I'll have to make it up
I'll have to fabricate it
Wish you were with me
Desire for companionship, wishing you were present
That way it'd be less hard
To make things easier emotionally
And I've gotten pretty tired in a city that never sleeps
Feeling fatigued in a bustling city
Went up so high, I still got time to feel low
Experiencing highs and lows, still time to feel down
Half sick you told me
Expressing being unwell or troubled
How bad your night messed up your head
Your difficult night affecting your thoughts
And now you're worried
Concern for your well-being
You won't get up out of bed, and I'm
Worry about getting out of bed
Losing sleep
Sacrificing sleep to alleviate loneliness
Just to feel less alone
Seeking connection to combat loneliness
You're counting clouds
Metaphorically counting problems or challenges
I'm counting junk on my floor
Focusing on the clutter in life
And I know
Acknowledging an inevitable departure like the fall season
You'll fade away like the fall did
Opening up to change and uncertainty
Open arms into the snow
Embracing challenges, even in difficult circumstances
And the winter always takes
Winter symbolizing the passage of time
Its sweet precious time
Time needed for changes to unfold
To fade away like the leaves did
Comparing fading away to the changing of leaves
Green to brown to nothing
The inevitable transition from vibrancy to nothingness
And I used to think of us
Reflecting on past moments under artificial lights
Under florescent lights
Recalling humor and noise, questioning significance
Telling jokes and making noises
Pretending to be important
Pretending we're important
Desire for a lasting memory (repeated)
I need a memory
Reiteration of the need for a lasting memory
I'll have to make it up
Reiteration of having to create a fabricated memory
Wish you were with me
Repeating the desire for companionship
That way it'd be less hard
To make the emotional burden less challenging
