Engraved
Eternal Memories: Searching, Remembering, Engraving
Lyrics
It's just another night when I swim deep in my memories
Reflecting on memories during another night
Looking for one of those precious moments buried in my thoughts
Searching for precious moments within thoughts
Hoping that I can grasp more than your silhouette
Desiring a deeper connection beyond a silhouette
And fully remember
Striving to fully remember those moments
I cannot picture you as a whole
Unable to visualize the person as a whole
There's always something pushing me aside
Feeling consistently pushed aside
And the more I relive these scenes
Experiencing detachment as scenes are relived
The more I'm pushed away from them
Increasing distance from the memories
I am no longer part of them
No longer part of the past, becoming a mere witness
I become nothing but a witness in the mist
A witness in the mist, detached from the past
I don't want to run out of these memories
Fearing the loss of memories
I keep telling myself that I will not forget
Reassuring oneself not to forget
That I don't deserve to move on
Believing not deserving to move on
As everything I have in this life belongs to you before anyone else
Acknowledging everything belongs to a significant other
But how do I keep you here forever?
Questioning how to preserve a loved one's presence
I will let them know
Intending to share experiences with others
I want them to see what I could see
Wanting others to see what was seen
And when you look down from the stars
Imagining a connection with a loved one in the stars
You will find their eyes gazing up at you
Anticipating others looking up to the same connection
As there won't be a single day that I don't fix this wasteland
Committing to improve the world in a loved one's name
In your name
Dedicating efforts to the significant other
Everyday whispering your name
Uttering the loved one's name daily
Everyday reaching for your hand
Longing for the loved one's presence daily
Night after night I'm still questioning
Continuously questioning losses suffered
What else can they take from me?
Wondering about further losses
Before I lay to rest
Preparing for the end
I'll scratch the surface of the earth
Symbolically exploring the earth's surface
And I won't stop until I
Determined to continue until a specific goal is achieved
See your name engraved
Expressing a commitment to seeing the loved one remembered
Into the Earth
Literal reference to engraving the loved one's name
I'll have your name engraved
Reiteration of the commitment to engraving the name
