Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Underneath all this indecision
Part of me
Part of me wants everything to stay
And now you're not from hearing me, wondering why?
Ended up never being the same
(I'm all alone)
Yeah, it's a funny thing
Becoming the memory
(And I lost my soul)
To feel the rush (I'm not supposed to)
Thinking of you
I just need tonight to try to clarify
I know that it's no use, it doesn't hurt to try
Just a little too much inside my own head
My confidence is dead
I just need tonight to try to clarify
I know that it's no use, it doesn't hurt to try
Just a little too much inside my own head
My confidence is dead
Honestly
Honestly you can't be serious
Count to three
Count to three and I'll be on the next plane
I hope that you know there's no place that we could end up
Have to face or dealing with things
(Cause I gotta know)
Yeah, it's a funny thing that I'm still thinking of you
Even though we're far away
(You appear so close)
To feel the rush (I'm not supposed to)
Thinking of you
It's almost enough (I'm not supposed to)
Won't get me through
I just need tonight to try to clarify
I know that it's no use, it doesn't hurt to try
Just a little too much inside my own head
My confidence is dead
I just need tonight to try to clarify
I know that it's no use, it doesn't hurt to try
Just a little too much inside my own head
My confidence is dead
I ain't never been feeling like this
How I felt about last time
Can't believe that I'm saying this
But I think I'm moving on this time
Come over here with that sexy ass
And we'll probably hit up some Pad Thai
I won't lie
You're all mine
I ain't never been feeling like this
How I felt about last time
Can't believe that I'm saying this
But I think I'm moving on this time
Come over here with that sexy ass
And we'll probably hit up some Pad Thai
I won't lie
You're all mine
I ain't never been feeling like this
Feeling like this
I ain't never been feeling like this
Feeling like this
Feeling like this
I ain't never been feeling like this
Feeling like this
I won't lie
You're all mine
In the song "Becoming the Memory" by Royal Coda, the lyrics express feelings of uncertainty and confusion in a relationship. The first stanza shows the singer's indecision about the future of the relationship and their desire for things to remain the same. Despite this, the relationship is no longer the same, and the singer feels alone and lost. The second stanza highlights the conflicting emotions the singer experiences. They feel a rush of excitement and happiness when thinking about their partner, but they know they're not supposed to because the relationship is likely over. However, the singer can't help but continue to think about their partner, even though they're far apart.
The chorus suggests that the singer is trying to come to terms with their feelings and attempt to clarify their thoughts. They know it's probably useless, but it doesn't hurt to try. However, their confidence is low, and they're struggling to break free from what's going on inside their head. The final stanza suggests that the singer may be moving on from the relationship. They've been feeling differently than they did before and are open to exploring new experiences. However, they can't help but admit that their partner is still on their mind and that they desire their presence.
Line by Line Meaning
Underneath
Beneath the surface
Underneath all this indecision
Despite my indecisiveness
Part of me
A fragment of me
Part of me wants everything to stay
A part of me desires to sustain the current state of things
And now you're not from hearing me, wondering why?
Now you're ignoring me and I am curious as to the reason
Ended up never being the same
Changed beyond recognition
(I'm all alone)
I am without companionship
Yeah, it's a funny thing
Ironically speaking
What we're so used to
What we are accustomed to
Becoming the memory
Fading into a distant recollection
(And I lost my soul)
I have become soulless
To feel the rush (I'm not supposed to)
Experiencing a thrill I am not authorized to
Thinking of you
Considering you deeply
I just need tonight to try to clarify
I require this evening to articulate my thoughts
I know that it's no use, it doesn't hurt to try
I acknowledge that it may be futile but it is worth attempting
Just a little too much inside my own head
Slightly overthinking everything
My confidence is dead
I have no self-assurance
Honestly
To be honest
Honestly you can't be serious
Truly, you cannot mean that
Count to three
Count until three
Count to three and I'll be on the next plane
If you count to three, I will be on the subsequent flight
I hope that you know there's no place that we could end up
I trust that you are aware that there is no place where we belong
Have to face or dealing with things
We must confront and handle our circumstances
(Cause I gotta know)
(Because I need to be informed)
Yeah, it's a funny thing that I'm still thinking of you
It is ironic that I am still pondering of you
Even though we're far away
Despite our physical distance
(You appear so close)
(You seem so near)
To feel the rush (I'm not supposed to)
Experiencing a thrill I am not authorized to
Thinking of you
Contemplating you deeply
It's almost enough (I'm not supposed to)
It is just about satisfactory despite it being forbidden
Won't get me through
Won't aid me in overcoming my struggle
I ain't never been feeling like this
I have never felt this way before
How I felt about last time
Similar to how I felt before
Can't believe that I'm saying this
I cannot fathom that I am asserting this
But I think I'm moving on this time
But I believe I am progressing now
Come over here with that sexy ass
Join me here with your alluring body
And we'll probably hit up some Pad Thai
Then we will likely go out for Pad Thai food
I won't lie
I am not deceiving
You're all mine
You are entirely mine
