Memory Lane
Bugzy Malone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Today is gonna be the day
That they throw it all back to you
And by now
You should have somehow realised what you have to do
The world keeps on turning round
Bridges keep burning down
Nobody can hear you now
No matter how loud you shout

Sitting in total silence
Totally lost, no guidance
You don't call no more
Nobody can find ya
Nobody can find the time like they lost their watch
They find it hard to think you went soft
I'll find an architect type, promise that I'll make sure
He puts the building blocks in place
To start rebuilding, we've been broken since children
They keep telling me that we're only human
I don't do no silly excuses
Nobody wins we're losing
So violent and abusive
It's all battle, scars and bruises
'Cause what really

The sun shines down on me, on me, on me
And breaks my ties you'll see, you'll see, you'll see
That angel's eyes, they bleed
This life, I chose
My open wounds they show that
Memory lane is like a winding road

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

I just want you to know that I love you
It's a cruel world outside but
I need you to know that I got you
Such a forgetful place and
I don't want them to forget you
Hard times have arrived and
I wanna make sure that we get through

I look into your eyes sometimes
All I can see is emptiness, no resemblance, no more fire
Or anything similar
When did the winter get to us, I'll go blind
Looking at a light so bright
But if I can find my way
Then I'll come back for you and I'll make it right
I wanna say something but I don't know how
I gotta keep it moving, I can't turn 'round
How did David make Goliath fall down?
What's the king if the king has lost its crown?

Today is our day
We ain't running away
But the night was so long that
Today is the day that we break off our chains?

When the sun shines down on me, on me, on me
And breaks my ties you'll see, you'll see, you'll see
That angel's eyes, they bleed, this life I chose
My open wounds they show
That memory lane is like a winding road
Like a winding road

Memory lane is like a winding road




Like a winding road
Memory lane is like a winding road

Overall Meaning

Bugzy Malone's song "Memory Lane" seems to be a reflection of the past, present, and future of the artist's life. The opening lines, "Today is gonna be the day/That they throw it all back to you," suggest the idea of facing consequences for past actions. The song then progresses into a contemplation of the artist's current state of being, sitting in silence and feeling lost without guidance. The following lines, "Nobody can find the time like they lost their watch/They find it hard to think you went soft," express frustration with the people who were once close, but now seem to have no time or understanding for the artist.


As the song continues, it becomes more introspective, with lines like "All I can see is emptiness, no resemblance, no more fire/Or anything similar/When did the winter get to us, I'll go blind." Here, the artist is examining how he has changed and wondering when and how that change occurred. The chorus, "The sun shines down on me/And breaks my ties you'll see/That angel's eyes, they bleed/This life, I chose" seems to suggest a sense of hope and a desire to break free from the past and move forward.


Overall, "Memory Lane" is a complex and introspective song that explores the artist's past and present struggles while expressing a desire for a better future.

People often forget important things and


I don't want them to forget you
I hope nobody forgets you


Hard times have arrived and
We're currently experiencing difficult times


I wanna make sure that we get through
I want to work together to overcome these challenges


I look into your eyes sometimes
I stare into your eyes periodically


All I can see is emptiness, no resemblance, no more fire
I don't see the liveliness or energy as before


Or anything similar
I don't see anything familiar


When did the winter get to us, I'll go blind
How long has everything been so cold and bitter?


Looking at a light so bright
Staring at a glaring light source


But if I can find my way
If I'm able to navigate


Then I'll come back for you and I'll make it right
I'll return to you to make things better


I wanna say something but I don't know how
I want to express myself but I'm struggling to find the words


I gotta keep it moving, I can't turn 'round
I need to keep progressing and can't go back


How did David make Goliath fall down?
How was David able to overcome such a great challenge?


What's the king if the king has lost its crown?
What power does a king have if they are no longer in control?


Today is our day
Today we have the opportunity to succeed


We ain't running away
We won't back down or flee


But the night was so long that
The past was filled with so much struggle that


Today is the day that we break off our chains?
Today is the day that we finally free ourselves from our past


Like a winding road
The journey towards healing is long and complicated
