R. Star Losing Your Memory Lyrics
You're losing your memory now (4)
Call all your friends,
And tell them I'm never coming back.
Cause this is the end,
Pretend that you want it
Don’t react.
The damage is done,
The police are coming too slow now.
I would have died,
I would have loved you all my life
Your losing your memory now.
Where have you gone,
The beach is so cold in winter here.
[ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ]And where have I gone,
I wake in Montauk with you near.
Remember the day,
Cause this is what dreams should always be.
I just want to stay,
I just want to keep this dream in me.
Your losing your memory now (4)
Wake up, it’s time little girl, wake up.
All the best of what we’ve done is yet to come.
Wake up, it’s time little girl, wake up.
Just remember who I am in the morning.
Your losing your memory now (4).
Thanks to Dominic who got me Ryan Star's album "Songs from the Eye of an Elephant".
It's a beautiful song about not wanting to forget.
I don;t know if it's a coincidence or if I got it right, but this seems to have come straight out of that much beloved movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Remember the snowy beach where they wake up one morning?
Montauk (as mentioned in the song) is the name of that random train station where Jim Carey meets Winslet for the first (or second) time. Anyhow, its where we as the audience first see them meet.
And like the movie, this song has the same undercurrent of inevitable loss, the bittersweet pleasure of reliving for the last time what you know you must eventually give up. That combined with the distant, haunting hope that it might just, somehow, be possible to undo the damage.
-Just remember who I am in the morning-
There might be ways to anaesthesize yourself. To cut short the process of hurting and then simplifying the recovery. The one step, just add hot water method of getting over heartbreak. The denial - or avoidance - of unstoppable emotion.
And that while the end might sometimes be pretty, the whole point is of course, the process of getting there.
Some memories cannot and should not be erased
