The New Denial
Embracing Forgetfulness: The New Denial's Liberation
Lyrics
I can't do this anymore:
I am unable to continue in this manner.
Stay in, black out, hit the floor.
Remain indoors, lose consciousness, collapse.
I've forgotten what I'm hiding from
I've lost track of what I am avoiding or concealing.
But mama called and cried to me,
Received a call from my mother who was upset and cried.
"baby, your anniversary was last tuesday."
Mother reminds me that my anniversary passed last Tuesday.
That's right...okay, I guess it slipped my mind.
Admitting forgetfulness, acknowledging the oversight.
And that's fine with me, I guess,
Acceptance of the situation without much concern.
Though it came as a surprise.
Surprised by the revelation but not overly bothered.
I gotta celebrate my memory's retreat
Expressing the need to celebrate the fading of memories.
It's finally forgetting things.
Memories are receding, and it's a cause for celebration.
I pushed it away. I let histroy lie.
Intentionally pushed memories aside, allowed history to remain dormant.
Finally memory sleeps.
Memory is finally at rest, signaling the end of the day.
Goodnight.
Saying goodnight, possibly to memories or a chapter in life.
It's gonna be all right okay?
Assuring oneself that everything will be fine.
I'm leaving everything behind
Deciding to leave the past behind.
So goodnight, farewell-and cheers
Bidding farewell and expressing optimism with a toast.
To the new denial.
Welcoming a new phase characterized by denial.
Exhausted with the born again routine...
Feeling tired of the repetitive cycle of renewal.
You die a little bit each time you smile.
Suggesting that each smile brings a bit of emotional death.
So grit your teeth, they like you happy.
Enduring hardships with a forced smile, projecting happiness.
