Walk With Me
Memoryhouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beneath the lead eyes of the city skyline
We gave ourselves to the current
A surface unswayed in our wake
I rest my head on your shoulder
And dreamt we were gone, but our names remained
Felt the pulse of the water
This life could be graced with symmetry
Walk with me, do you walk with me?
I can't forget the place this started
Walk with me, will you walk with me?
The opening lines of the song, "It started when we were younger, beneath the lead eyes of the city skyline", suggest a memory, an origin, a beginning of something. The use of the phrase "lead eyes" conveys a sense of heaviness, burden, and perhaps even oppressiveness that the city skyline brings. It then segues into "we gave ourselves to the current, a surface unswayed in our wake", which could signify a letting go or surrendering to the flow and pace of life, or it could imply a sense of rebellion and nonconformity against the city and its expectations.
The following lines, "I rest my head on your shoulder and dreamt we were gone, but our names remained, felt the pulse of the water and left behind all my old ways" suggest a connection, a bond, and a shared journey between two people. The act of resting one's head on another's shoulder connotes a level of trust and closeness. The idea of dreaming and being gone, yet still having their names remain could signify a yearning for escape or freedom from societal norms or pressures. Feeling the pulse of the water could signify a sense of being attuned to one's surroundings and feeling in sync with nature. The leaving behind of old ways could be interpreted as a metaphor for growth, personal evolution, and moving on from past patterns.

It started when we were younger
Our story begins from the time when we were young and inexperienced
Beneath the lead eyes of the city skyline
We grew up in a city with tall buildings that seemed to look down on us
We gave ourselves to the current
We surrendered ourselves to life's journey and let it take us where it may
A surface unswayed in our wake
We moved forward with determination against all odds and nothing could stop us
I rest my head on your shoulder
I find comfort and support in your presence
And dreamt we were gone, but our names remained
We imagined escaping from our current reality, but we knew that our identities would always be with us
Felt the pulse of the water
We connected with the essence of life itself and felt its rhythm
And left behind all my old ways
We let go of our past selves and embraced a new path forward
This life could be graced with symmetry
Life has the potential to be balanced and harmonious
Walk with me, do you walk with me?
Join me on this journey and let us face the world together
I can't forget the place this started
I remember where we came from and how far we have come
Walk with me, will you walk with me?
Let us continue to move forward together and see where life takes us
