Memory Lane
KOLIDESCOPES Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these years I watched them fade away
Memories we made
Wish I could've stayed
In your arms I remember we would stay up really late
Maybe it wasn't fate
I don't care, take it to the grave

Taking a walk down memory lane

Let me far across the ocean
Let me roam wild again
I used to forget all my problems
Came up from the bottom
Those days, you can't take them away

Take me down to the ground
I've been living in the cloud
Nothing to care about
Found your love in the dark
Thought we'd never grow apart
Reminiscing like it was from the start

Taking a walk down memory lane
Let me far across the ocean
Let me roam wild again
I used to forget all my problems
Came up from the bottom
Those days, you can't take them away

Taking a walk down memory lane
Let me far across the ocean
Let me roam wild again
I used to forget all my problems

Came up from the bottom
Those days, you can't take them away

Line by Line Meaning

All these years I watched them fade away
As time passed, I noticed how my memories were disappearing

Memories we made
The things we did together, the moments we shared

Wish I could've stayed
I regret not being able to hold onto those moments

In your arms I remember we would stay up really late
I recall staying up with you, wrapped in your embrace

Maybe it wasn't fate
Perhaps it wasn't meant to be

I don't care, take it to the grave
But regardless, I hold onto it dearly until my dying day

Taking a walk down memory lane
Recalling past memories and experiences

Let me far across the ocean
Take me away from here, to distant lands

Let me roam wild again
Grant me the freedom to explore and be spontaneous

I used to forget all my problems
Back then, I didn't worry about my troubles

Came up from the bottom
I gradually overcame my struggles
