Memory
Mortal Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what I say will end up stinging in my own eyes
Under this dark, dark conscience I still strive
I've cried a pool of fear and into this I dive
Lift up your head if you're asleep
Lay down your head if you're awake
It fades away when you're away
But I'm anemic when I'm happy
I loose my way everyday
My memories of time are empty
It fades away when you're away
And now nothing can bleed the surface
The lyrics in Mortal Love's song Memory is a reflection of the singer's internal turmoil as they face what appears to be a difficult and complicated relationship. The song opens with the singer describing a deadness between the two people involved, and yet somehow everything "comes alive" when they are together. There is a sense of pain in the words that follow - the singer knows whatever they say will end up hurting them as well. Underneath the darkness they feel within themselves, however, they keep trying. They cry from fear and dive into the emptiness they feel.
Despite the sadness and difficulty, the chorus of the song offers some hope. The singer implores the other person to "Lift up your head if you're asleep/Lay down your head if you're awake." The act of being present, whether awake or asleep, is a way to deal with the pain. However, it's clear that the memories of their time together are not enough to fill the emptiness inside them. Even when the other person is away, the memories eventually fade, leaving the singer feeling anemic and lost.
Overall, this song showcases the complexities of relationships and the emotional toll that they can take on individuals. The lyrics are poignant and relatable, and offer a glimpse into the raw emotions that come with being human.
Line by Line Meaning
Everything dead, dead between us comes alive
All the emotions that were once dead between us become alive now
And what I say will end up stinging in my own eyes
Whatever I say about you will hurt me in the end
Under this dark, dark conscience I still strive
Despite having a dark and troubled mind, I still try my best to move forward
I've cried a pool of fear and into this I dive
I have shed a lot of tears out of fear, and I find myself diving deeper into it
Lift up your head if you're asleep
Wake up and face reality if you are living in a dream world
Lay down your head if you're awake
Take a rest and relax if you are constantly working hard
It fades away when you're away
All my happiness fades away when you are not around
But I'm anemic when I'm happy
I feel drained and lifeless when I am happy
I loose my way everyday
Every day, I feel lost without a clear direction
My memories of time are empty
I have no significant memories of my past, everything seems empty
And now nothing can bleed the surface
I have become emotionally numb and nothing can affect me anymore
