The lyrics to “Memory” by Cheat Codes, Space Primates, and GASHI speak of a relationship that has ended, despite the potential for it to have been something deeper. The song opens with a repetition of “na-na,” acting as a placeholder for the memories that the pair shared. The line “hands wrapped tight around your waist” describes the intimacy of the relationship, and “kissing ‘cause I love the taste” adds to the romantic themes of the song. However, the lyrics take a turn with the line “no calling me late at night just to start another fight,” indicating that the relationship was not without its problems. The chorus repeats the idea that the two of them could have been something more, but ultimately, they will only be a memory.
The song is a reflection on a past relationship, with the singer thinking about what could have been. The line “why you let a good thing go to waste?” suggests that the relationship ended because of the actions of the other person, rather than a mutual decision. The repetition of “this could be us” shows that the singer still has feelings for the other person, but they know that they will only be a fleeting memory. The song ends with a final repetition of “na-na,” emphasizing the idea that the memories of the relationship will remain.
