Souvenir
Pussycat and the Dirty Johnsons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I still had my souvenirs
Cherished in a pocket full of dreams
I could hold I could feel
Kept pretending they were real
Long time after lovers stayed away.
Now a picture of you
I had cherished so true
But when
I've been crying today
Threw my memories away
Something died as I cried
For my broken souvenirs.
Can I reach for the sun
Find a place I belong
Now you're one of my broken souvenirs.
If you'll need me again
There's no way you really can
Pasted pieces never make a whole
And if you leave your room
On some windy afternoon
Try to see where all the pieces flew.
It was hard to get on
Since my memories were gone
But if you'll ever see me again
I can
I've been crying today
The lyrics of "My Broken Souvenirs" by Pussycat speak of holding onto memories of a past lover through sentimental items or souvenirs, but eventually realizing that these things cannot bring back what was lost. The singer reflects on the moments of tears and heartache that led to the accumulation of these souvenirs and acknowledges that they were cherished as a way to hold onto a connection that had already ended. The memories represented by the souvenirs were once a comfort, but now they serve as a reminder of what is gone. The powerful imagery of "Something died as I cried for my broken souvenirs" illustrates the pain that comes with letting go of the past.
The lyricist further acknowledges that past relationships cannot be pieced back together through nostalgia, saying that "pasted pieces never make a whole." This song recognizes the importance of acceptance and moving on, even if it's a difficult process. The final lines of the song are hopeful yet resigned, as the singer acknowledges that they may never fully heal from the pain of the past but is willing to try.

If we ever cross paths again,
I can
I can be happy again despite the broken souvenirs and shattered memories.
