Memories of You
Legion Within Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never go away
They live on inside of me
These moments turn
They swallow me
And of my remains, who’s to say
Inside your clock
They’ll never age, we never stop
These memories of you
Never go away
They live on
These memories of you
In Legion Within's song Memories of You, the lyrics tell the story of the lingering memories of a loved one who has passed away. The singer speaks of how these memories never fade away as they remain inside, constantly reminding him of the person he has lost. As he remembers these moments, they "swallow" him up and leave him wondering what it is that will remain of him after he's gone.
The reference to "porcelain dreams inside your clock" paints a picture of a delicate, even fragile, existence that is kept alive through the memories preserved in time. However, these memories also seem to offer some sense of the eternal, as they never age and never stop living on.
Overall, the lyrics reflect the profound impact that losing a loved one can have on our lives. Memories of that person can live on for decades, even after they are gone, creating a sense of continuity that can be both comforting and haunting.
