Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even all the tears I shed will be there along with your warm caress
Oh darling, there's no need for me to pretend
That this love will never end, it's possible, you see
So I'll store them away in my memory chest just for me
Every letter that you write to me I'll store in my memory chest
I'm not sayin' that you're going to leave me
But there's one thing I do believe, it's possible, you see
Baby, I'm gonna store them away in my memory chest just for me
Every kiss, each caress, all your love and tenderness
In my memory chest, baby
You promised me that our love would last till the end of time
Just in case you see another girl that can change your mind
Every happy moment I spend with you I'll store in my memory chest
Oh baby, you have filled my life, my life with much love and tenderness
Oh darlin', there's no need for me to pretend
That this love will never end, it's possible, you see
So I'll store them away in my memory chest, every little thing
Baby, gonna store in my memory chest
Every letter, baby
Oh, yes I will darlin'
Just for me
Just for me
Oh darling, just for me, baby
Baby, baby, just for me
The lyrics of "Memory" by Amerie | www.Marvin-Vibez.in are quite cryptic in their overall meaning, but they seem to be referencing a mysterious figure who is causing havoc in the singer's life. The opening line, "Memory hide and seek halloween men or me," may be suggesting that the figure is playing a game of hide and seek with the singer's memories, seemingly appearing and disappearing at random. The line "You decide what's on the mind coming in from the other side" suggests that the figure is accessing the singer's thoughts in some way, possibly through some kind of supernatural means or even possibly through social media.
The repeated line "Look what you done to me" implies that the figure has caused some kind of distress or harm to the singer, possibly through manipulation. The phrase "Following following" may suggest that the figure is stalking or pursuing the singer in some way. The ending lines, "I knew you first, I loved you first, I am your curse," imply that the figure has a long-standing relationship with the singer, possibly even a romantic one, but that this relationship has turned toxic and destructive over time.
