Memento Mori
Schmorgle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Couldn't help but close my eyes
Anticipate the canon shot
Waisted air stuck under the mud of a thought pattern uneasy

What's the point? I forgot
Do we need a reason for moving on?
Denied in the moment but still I'm yearning for the free

What if I told you
My heart collided
With the soil of Earth
And shot through the other side?

Maybe you're right
Maybe the time we have is better with an end

Laugh it off like I think too much
Who really cares if it felt like more than a dream?
Don't act like I'm crazy, I'm not fucking crazy, I'm just taking it in

What if I told you
My heart collided
With the soil of Earth
And shot through the other side?

Maybe you're right.

Maybe the time we have is spent better with an end.
Maybe the time we have is spent better with an end.

Overall Meaning

In Schmorgle's song "Memento Mori," the lyrics convey a sense of contemplation and introspection about the purpose and meaning of life. The opening lines, "Couldn't help but close my eyes, Anticipate the canon shot," portray a state of vulnerability and anticipation, as if the singer is bracing themselves for the impact of some significant event or realization. The following line, "Waisted air stuck under the mud of a thought pattern uneasy," suggests that the singer is trapped in a cycle of uncertain and troubling thoughts, unable to find clarity or resolution.

The next lines, "What's the point? I forgot, Do we need a reason for moving on?" express a sense of existential questioning and a loss of perspective on the purpose of moving forward in life. Despite feeling denied in the present moment and yearning for freedom, the singer is grappling with the idea that perhaps there is no inherent reason or justification for their existence.

The chorus, "What if I told you, My heart collided, With the soil of Earth, And shot through the other side?" introduces a metaphorical imagery of the heart colliding with the earthly realm and transcending it. This could symbolize a desire to break free from earthly limitations and find a deeper meaning or purpose.

Line by Line Meaning

Couldn't help but close my eyes
I couldn't resist shutting out the world

Anticipate the canon shot
Expecting a sudden, impactful event

Waisted air stuck under the mud of a thought pattern uneasy
Futilely trapped in a restless mental state

What's the point? I forgot
I've lost sight of the purpose

Do we need a reason for moving on?
Is there a necessity for continuing?

Denied in the moment but still I'm yearning for the free
Although rejected in the present, I still long for liberation

What if I told you My heart collided With the soil of Earth And shot through the other side?
Imagine if I shared that my emotions crashed into the ground and transcended through existence

Maybe you're right
Perhaps you're correct

Maybe the time we have is better with an end
Perhaps our limited time is improved by having a conclusion

Laugh it off like I think too much
Dismiss it with laughter as if I ponder excessively

Who really cares if it felt like more than a dream?
Does it truly matter if it seemed more than a mere illusion?

Don't act like I'm crazy, I'm not fucking crazy, I'm just taking it in
Don't pretend I'm insane, I'm simply absorbing the experience

Maybe you're right.
Perhaps you're correct

Maybe the time we have is spent better with an end.
Perhaps our limited time is utilized best with a conclusion.
