Memoira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find out that I am nearly drowned
This soul so empty too much I've bled
Some of the tears I dye to red
I had new faith on life today
I had the strength to get away
I love this silence
Heal my wounds and let you drown
Then all the pain that you've caused won't hurt anymore
Heal my mind anytime, heal my life anytime
I had new faith...
Heal my wounds...
In Memoira’s song Liberation, the lyrics paint a picture of a woman who has been through a difficult and painful experience. She has shed so many tears that she feels almost drowned. Her soul is empty because she has given so much of herself and bled emotionally. In an effort to cope, she has dyed some of her tears red, perhaps symbolizing the pain and anger that she feels. Despite this, she finds the strength to have new faith in life and begin to move forward. She is able to escape the violence that she has endured and loves the silence of her freedom.
The woman calls for her wounds to be healed and for her abuser to drown in the pain that he has caused her. She knows that if her wounds are healed, the pain that her abuser has caused won’t hurt her anymore. She longs for her mind and life to be healed anytime that she needs it. Throughout the song, the woman is on a journey toward liberation and healing from the traumas that she has faced. The lyrics are powerful and touching in their description of the challenges that survivors of abuse often face.
