Safest Memory
Kojaque Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your safest memories are the ones that you never really think about cause like…
The more you think about something you have a memory of thinking of a memory so it changes it."
-"Like, you remember a memory the way you were feeling when you remembered it...
Like depending on how you feel?"
"When you're thinking of it but like everything is subjective you know what I mean?
So like, you'll like.. put your feelings of the memory onto it and make a memory of that
And then every time you remember it you'll remember it with that
-"I get you Jamie"
"Hey, that's not my name dun dun that's not my name dun dun…"
In Kojaque's "Safest Memory," the artist discusses the concept of memory and how some memories are safer than others. The lyrics suggest that the safest memories are the ones that we don't consciously think about, as these memories are less likely to be changed or altered by subsequent thoughts or emotions. The more we consciously think about a memory, the more subjective it becomes, as our emotions and interpretations color our perception of the memory.
The lyrics suggest that memories are inherently subjective and malleable, as our emotions and experiences can change the way we remember things. The line "you'll like.. put your feelings of the memory onto it and make a memory of that" suggests that our memories are shaped by our emotions and perceptions, and that even the act of remembering something can alter the memory itself.
Overall, Kojaque's "Safest Memory" invites listeners to reflect on the nature of memory and how our emotions and perceptions shape the way we remember things. The song suggests that some memories are safer than others, and that our subjective experiences can change the way we remember things over time.
