Traces of you
Traces
You're so far gone
But I feel you under my skin
Attention is wearing me thin
It's been so long
But your memory burns inside
Can't seem to get very far
I look up and there you are
Forever leaving your mark
As evidence we can't hide
And it doesn't disappear
'Cause you said goodbye
There may be worse things than losing you
And you may be looking for someone new
But I see traces of you
But I see traces of you
I see traces
In the dark
I keep reliving history
My mind's playing tricks on me
So I turn on the lights
So all of the ghosts will leave
But I like the company
Can't seem to get very far
I look up and there you are
Forever leaving your mark
As evidence we can't hide
And it doesn't disappear
'Cause you said goodbye
There may be worse things than losing you
And you may be looking for someone new
But I see traces of you
But I see traces
I see traces of you
I see traces of you
There may be worse things than losing you
And you may be looking for someone new
But I see traces of you
But I see traces
I see traces of you
Traces
Traces of you
Traces
Traces of you
The song Traces by APEK feat. Karra is a heartfelt reflection on the lingering memories of an ex-lover. The lyrics describe the feeling of still being connected to a person who has moved on, with the title "Traces" representing the lasting impressions left behind.
The opening lines "Traces of you, you're so far gone, but I feel you under my skin" immediately establish the theme of the song - a sense of nostalgia and yearning for a lost love. The singer realizes that despite their best efforts, they can't seem to let go of the memories that continue to linger.
As the song progresses, we hear the struggle the singer faces in trying to move on. They can't seem to escape their ex-lover's imprint, whether it be through a memory that randomly resurfaces or the feeling that they're nearby. Lines like "My mind's playing tricks on me" suggest a person struggling to keep their emotions and thoughts in check.
Ultimately, the song's melancholic tone and soaring vocals by Karra serve as a poignant reminder of just how much heartbreak can impact us. Even when we try to move on, the traces of a past love can linger on for years.
