Memory
Fate/stay night OST Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hide here terrified
Of knowing that I live a lie
I can't escape these thoughts
Of a life that makes me wanna die

I fake this innocence
Living blissful ignorance
Doing everything I can
To hide myself and fit right in
Fit right in

Smoke and mirrors are all I see
(All I see)
Decaying slowly in a
World that won't let me be
Set me free
(Set me free)
I refuse to be
Just another broken memory

I'll fight, I'll kill, I'll bare
This life isn't fucking fair
I speak my thoughts
And everyone gives me hateful glares

Smoke and mirrors are all I see
Decaying slowly in a
World that wont let me be
Set me free
(Set me free)
I refuse to be
(I refuse to be)
Just another broken memory

I refuse to be a
Broken memory
Look me in the eyes
And tell me that you never lied

That you never lied

I'm sick of the games
I'm fucking sick of the pain
I don't believe a single word you say
Cause I know the truth
Still unveiled by you
I hope you know what you put me through

Smoke and mirrors are all I see
Decaying slowly in a
World that wont let me be
Set me free
I refuse to be
Just another broken memory





I hope you know what you put me through

Line by Line Meaning

How did I let you slip through the cracks?
I can't believe you deceived me under my nose


How did I let you stab me in the back?
You made me trust you only to betray me


You were my brother, you were my friend
I thought we had a close bond, but it was all a lie


I pray, no salvation for you in the end
You deserve whatever karma comes your way


(Unpredictable) trusting you was a fucking mistake
You're so unpredictable, and trusting you turned out to be a huge mistake


(Unforgivable) you will sweat in the pit that you make
Your actions are unforgivable, and you will have to face the consequences


Nothing can save you now
It's too late for you to make amends


Now you're just a memory
You're nothing to me anymore


In my past is where you'll stay
I've moved on, and you have no place in my future


Had my trust, threw it away
You broke my trust, and I won't forgive you for that


You'd better keep your distance from me
If you know what's good for you, you'll stay away from me


There's no forgiveness for what you've done
Your actions are beyond redemption


I'm coming for you and I'm out for blood
I will seek justice for your betrayal


You are a liar, you are a thief
You are a dishonest and deceitful person


Spare me the pleasure of your company
I don't want anything to do with you


Now I'm better off this way
Without you, I am much happier


Someone like you, is gonna die alone
Your actions will lead to your loneliness and isolation


You're gonna die alone, you're gonna die alone
You will face the consequences of your actions alone


(You're gonna die, you're gonna die, you're gonna die alone)
You will have to face your fate alone, with no one to help you
