Memory
BrokenRail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for me, to say you're alright
Tonight, will be your test, as we lay to rest
These forsaken feelings
What? I can't hear you
What? Say it again
You had to go and ruin it
I don't want to live this lie
You did everything to yourself this time
You felt that you could control me
I don't think that you ever really knew me
I see you speak but don't say a word
Now that your gone you're nothing but a memory
You, had your chance
To do what's best and make things right
But I, I saw right through, this evil that's you
Well I know your type
Tonight, we watch
As this memory
It fades, away
The lyrics to BrokenRail's song "Memory" contain themes of betrayal and hurt in a relationship. The opening lines convey the pain of watching someone cry and wanting to comfort them while acknowledging the difficulty of the situation. The next lines suggest that the singer has tried to help in the past but the other person has ruined things, and now they are living a lie. The line "You felt that you could control me" implies a power dynamic at play, with the other person attempting to manipulate the singer. The final lines suggest that the relationship has been irreparably damaged and the memory of it is fading away.
The chorus contains a repeated line that captures the sense of frustration and helplessness in the situation. The singer cannot hear the other person and they feel like they are speaking but not saying anything. The line "Now that your gone you're nothing but a memory" is a clear indication that the relationship has ended and the other person is no longer a part of the singer's life.
The bridge contains a message of empowerment and liberation, with the singer calling out the other person's actions and behavior. They had a chance to do the right thing but chose not to, and the singer sees them for who they really are - someone with evil intentions. The final lines of the song suggest closure, as the memory fades away and the singer can move on.
Overall, "Memory" is a powerful song that conveys the pain and complexity of a broken relationship, while also suggesting that there is hope for healing and growth.

I watched you cry
I observed you shedding tears
Waiting for me, to say you're alright
Anticipating my assurance that you're okay
Tonight, will be your test, as we lay to rest
This evening will be a trial for you as we go to sleep
These forsaken feelings
These abandoned emotions
What? I can't hear you
Pardon me, could you repeat that in a louder voice?
What? Say it again
Could you say that again, please?
Cause I tried to help when you needed it
Because I made an effort to assist you when you required it
You had to go and ruin it
You had to mess it up
I don't want to live this lie
I refuse to continue existing in this deception
You did everything to yourself this time
This time, you brought everything upon yourself
You felt that you could control me
You believed that you had power over me
I don't think that you ever really knew me
I don't believe that you ever truly comprehended who I am
I see you speak but don't say a word
I see your mouth moving, but have no idea what you are saying
Now that your gone you're nothing but a memory
You're merely a thought now that you're non-existent
You, had your chance
You had an opportunity
To do what's best and make things right
To do what is optimal and rectify the situation
But I, I saw right through, this evil that's you
But I, I saw your true, wicked character
Well I know your type
Well, I am acquainted with your sort
Tonight, we watch
This evening, we observe
As this memory
As this recollection
It fades, away
It dissipates, vanishing into nothingness
