Memories
CHROM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traveled the world and returned home
We had no sorrows in these days
One day you turned around and left
My world broke down, it took my breath
These memories will never leave... They'll never leave
I know we'll never meet again
So come with me and take my hand
Just let me guide you for today
This is the time of ignorance
So don't look back, it makes no sense
Now all the love just drifts away
Then I went out into a bar
I saw a girl she looked like you
Everything seemed to disappear
I introduced myself to her
She looked at me and turned around
Don't do those things to me my dear
Last night I saw you in my dreams
You were asleep right next to me
It didn't hurt, there was no fear
I know we'll never meet again
So come with me and take my hand
Just let me guide you for today
This is the time of ignorance
So don't look back, it makes no sense
Now all the love just drifts away
Now all the love just drifts away
Now all the love just drifts away
I know we'll never meet again
So come with me and take my hand
Just let me guide you for today
This is the time of ignorance
So don't look back, it makes no sense
Now all the love just drifts away
This is the time of ignorance
So don't look back, it makes no sense
Now all the love just drifts away
The lyrics of CHROM’s song “Memories” express the pain and longing of someone who has lost a cherished loved one, who abruptly left their life. The song begins by describing a long and happy past between the singer and the departed person. They traveled the world together and had no sorrows. But one day, everything changed. The loved one turned around and left, breaking the singer’s world and leaving them with only memories that will never leave. The chorus repeats the idea that they will never meet again but asks the departed loved one to take their hand, guided by the singer, for today. The lyrics paint a picture of the singer’s nostalgia, sorrow, and loneliness as they look for something to fill the void left by their lost relationship. The singer sees someone who looks like their lost loved one and tries to talk to them, but the person rejects the singer’s advances. The lyrics conclude with the singer dreaming of their lost love lying next to them without pain or fear.
The lyrics of “Memories” address themes of grief, loss, and the irreversibility of time. The singer is grappling with the finality of their relationship and seeks solace wherever it can be found. Their attempts to replace or recapture their relationship are met with rejection or the frustrating unreality of a dream. The chorus repeats the idea that they will never meet again, but the singer seeks a temporary respite, a momentary return to a happier time with their loved one.
