Memory
Dumonde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find my home,
If only I could escape,
My danger zone,
I have to take my own advice,
Don't make it hard,
There's something in the universe,
The birghtest star.
Here's what I've been waiting for,
Day, night, seen it all before
Memory! Telling lies,
I am scared and cannot hide,
When I sleep,
Be my guide,
Could this be my paradise?
Something deep in my soul,
Tells me where I must go,
All my dreams, telling lies,
Could this be my paradise?
I want to share it all with you,
The special place,
Imagining the perfect day,
In time and space,
The secret of the universe,
Is beautiful,
If you could listen close enough,
You'd here it call...
Here's what I've been waiting for...
The lyrics of Dumonde's "Memory" tell the story of someone who is looking to start anew and leave their past behind. The first verse talks about wanting to find one's home and escape the danger zone that they have been living in. The singer acknowledges that they need to take their own advice to make this happen and not make it harder on themselves. They seem to find hope in the universe and a bright star, perhaps representing a light at the end of the tunnel.
The chorus of the song speaks to the fear that the singer has about starting over and the lies that memory can tell. They are scared and need guidance to find their way to paradise. The second verse seems to address a specific person, perhaps a romantic interest, that the singer wants to share their journey with. They imagine a perfect day in a special place and believe that the secret of the universe is beautiful if one listens close enough.
Overall, "Memory" is a song about hope and the desire to start fresh. It acknowledges the fear and uncertainty that can come with change, but ultimately suggests that there is beauty and meaning to be found in taking that leap.

God, when the kickdrums go away and the lead synths kick in I get goosebumps all over. You can tell Lange had a lot to do with the melodic stuff (it's got his sort of synth sound and track pacing) and the rhythm and drums were all Dumonde (who made a ton of amazing tracks with that heavy kickdrum characteristic of early 2000s hard trance). I love it! Two of my absolute favorite trance artists (one of which is a group) together on a track!

The music from those years will never die. It's been so many years and it still blows my mind
@showstopper247

@danielrobert8296
Probably one of the best trance tracks ever made. Never really got out there despite the excellent collaboration between 2 trance legends.
@Mannyar26
Brings me back to 2001-2002, good trance years! :)
@santinar235
This track is literally a deity
@NerolNiethsreg

@LoLMaidSakuya
This song is old but Golden, and definitely is a landmark for true trance lovers. You can only dream to be DJ, and hold a event that you play the bests of the bests tracks ever.
@slc074
Perfection! Will never get old!
