Memories II
Inishmore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On this road of broken dreams
The wind is blowing rough,
What became of my memories
The friendships that I've lost?

Once we were like brothers
Together on this path,
Now that you deceived me
All I feel is wrath.

My mind is burning
World are colliding
Fate is turning
It's time to go

Things around me change so fast
Nothing forever will last,
No one's left to blame
But things won't stay the same.

You told me I'm your best friend
No one else would ever have been,
But when good times left and bad times came
You were nowhere to be seen.

I thought our friendship lasts forever
I put my trust in you,
You destroyed my faith in mankind
And my Memories II.

Nothing left
From yesterday
We won't ever
Rise one day.

Things around me change so fast
Nothing forever will last
No one's left to blame,
But things won't stay the same.

Oh those days are long gone by
There is no more need to worry,
There's nothing you can do.
No love left for yesterday,




My heart is drowning in sorrow
And my Memories II.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Inishmore's song "Memories II" are a powerful exploration of loss, betrayal, and the fleeting nature of friendship. The singer of the song is struggling to come to terms with how quickly things can change in life and how someone they trusted and loved has let them down. The towering emotion in the lyrics is wrath, as the singer expresses their anger at the betrayal they have experienced. The descriptions of the world colliding and fate turning suggest that the singer feels as though their life has been upended by this loss.


The singer touches on the idea that the world is constantly changing and that nothing lasts forever. They reflect on the past and the memories they have lost, wondering what became of the friendships they once had. They also express their disappointment and hurt at the fact that they put so much trust into this person who ultimately let them down. The line "You destroyed my faith in mankind" is particularly powerful; it shows just how much pain the singer is experiencing and how deeply they have been impacted by this betrayal.

The singer seems to have moved past the betrayal to some extent, acknowledging that there is nothing left to be done and that things won't stay the same. The repeated refrain of "things won't stay the same" serves as a reminder that life is constantly in flux and that the singer will eventually move on from their pain.
