Lyrics
Memory
Reflecting on memories
Talk to me
Requesting communication
Find a place
Searching for a space
Find a time
Seeking a moment
With the sun in my eyes Little skirt, hairy thighs
Describing a visual scene with self-awareness
When I was looking in the mirror
Recalling a moment of self-reflection
I swear that I could see it clearer then
Claiming clarity in self-perception before external influence
Before you told me my reflection's not my friend And now I stand a little nearer
Acknowledging the impact of others on self-image
To all the things I thought I'd never get
Approaching goals previously deemed unattainable
I try to think of what I lost and what I've found (you and I know)
Reflecting on gains and losses in life
We don't have to talk about it
Emphasizing the option not to discuss certain matters
We don't have to shout
Advocating for a calm approach instead of confrontation
You don't have to understand the way it makes us feel
Highlighting the complexity of emotions
We know it's real
Acknowledging the authenticity of feelings
(middle fingers up)
Symbolic expression of defiance or independence
Real
Reiterating the authenticity of emotions
(when they profit off the confidence they take away from we) it should be criminal
Expressing discontent with exploitation of confidence
it's so subliminal
Describing the subtle nature of manipulative tactics
Waves and other time Ways and other times Over ways and other times Over ways and over time Over waves and over time Over love and other lies Under love and over lies Over you and over I
Complex reflections on experiences and emotions
(x3)
Repetition for emphasis
Over animosity
Expressing a desire to overcome hostility
Over all apologies
Moving beyond the need for apologies
I forgive all of the things That you left inside of me Under-reciprocity
Forgiving past grievances but noting a lack of reciprocity
Is what you gave to me
Reflecting on the inadequate reciprocation in a relationship
I forgive all of the things That you left in spite of me
Expressing forgiveness despite the impact of past actions
