Recollection
M. Ostermeier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can barely see what's in front of me
Why can't I see, they should belong to me
Did all these things even happen to me
Time is passing infinitely
Yet everything seems to be escaping me
The more it flows the faster it seems to go
And it really shows how little I know
I'm losing my grip of my recollections
Holding on to every thing I know
The older I grow the less I remember
Hope I don't have to see you go
When was the last time I saw your face
I can't recall being in the same place
Now that you're gone all I have of you
Is a photograph of just us two
I'm losing my grip of my recollections
Holding on to every thing I know
The older I grow the less I remember
Hope I don't have to see you go
I'm losing my grip of my recollections
Holding on to every thing I know
The older I grow the less I remember
Hope I don't have to see you go
Go

The chorus repeats the idea of losing grip on recollections, suggesting that the singer is struggling to retain memories and hold on to what they know.

Wondering through a sea of memories
Navigating through a vast collection of past experiences
I can barely see what's in front of me
Having difficulty perceiving the present moment
Why can't I see, they should belong to me
Questioning why the memories feel distant or disconnected
Did all these things even happen to me
Doubting the authenticity of the past events
Time is passing infinitely
The concept of time feels limitless and endless
Yet everything seems to be escaping me
However, the memories and experiences slip away
The more it flows the faster it seems to go
As time progresses, it feels like it accelerates
And it really shows how little I know
Highlighting one's lack of understanding and knowledge
When was the last time I saw your face
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the last encounter with someone
I can't recall being in the same place
Struggling to remember being present together
Now that you're gone all I have of you
With the absence of the person, only a photograph remains
Is a photograph of just us two
The memento captures the essence of their connection
I'm losing my grip of my recollections
Lamenting the fading grasp on past memories
Holding on to every thing I know
Attempting to cling to the fragments of knowledge
The older I grow the less I remember
As age progresses, memory recollection diminishes
Hope I don't have to see you go
Desiring to avoid witnessing the departure of someone
Go
