MEMORY
Kaia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Kaia's song "Memory" are a reflection on the power of memories and how they shape our identities. The opening line, "Why should I believe me," implies a sense of self-doubt and uncertainty that is pervasive throughout the song. The singer expresses a desire to write about anything and everything that pops into her mind, including sounds, smells, and the outline of Mount Pisquah, a mountain in Oregon that holds special significance for the songwriter.
The repetition of the phrase "why haven't I seen you" suggests a longing for someone who is absent from the singer's life. The singer is wrestling with the idea of whether or not forever really exists or if some things are meant to end. Memories are described as being both cherished and burdensome; they are kept close to the heart but also tear holes from the weight of their significance. The lyrics convey a sense of the random and chaotic nature of memory, which can be both beautiful and bewildering.
Overall, "Memory" is a contemplative and introspective song that explores the ways in which memories shape our lives and identities. It is a powerful meditation on the fragility and resilience of the human spirit.
Line by Line Meaning
Why should I believe me
I find it hard to trust my own thoughts and feelings
i'll write about anything that my mind stumbles upon
I will write about anything that comes to mind
the sounds the smells Mount Pisquah's outline
I remember the sensory details of Mount Pisgah
why haven't I seen you in 4 years in 3 years and a half
I wonder why we haven't seen each other in a long time
do I believe that it lasts forever
I question whether anything lasts forever
words and moments they are in my heart and in my pocket
I carry memories of words and moments with me
with my cared they are tearing a hole so big
My memories are overwhelming and causing emotional pain
I fear they might fall out
I worry that I will lose these memories
some are broken some are random some are ransom some are weak some get handled some go crazy and some will kick your ass 'cause you're a freak
My memories vary in quality and intensity
grab your shovel let's make use out of this pile of dirt
Let's make something worthwhile out of this difficult situation
recall if you can we covered up this whole industrial town
Do you remember when we covered up this industrial town?
to the tallest building with much haste
We covered the tallest building quickly
i'd like to see the view
I'm curious about the view from the top of the building
it's not far to hit me just because I flinched
Don't hit me just because I flinched
I can read your thoughts but i'd give you all i've got if you would talk to me
I can sense what you're thinking, but I'm willing to listen if you talk to me
i'd put your words in a bag and breath deep
I would treasure your words and memories
some are frozen some are locusts some make silk and some get crowned some are hatching some are boxsprings
Memories come in all shapes and forms
sum of 2 plus 1 is 3
Just a random statement
