Memory
Studio 99 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Could we?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were
The lyrics to Studio 99's song "Memory" speak to the power of memories and how they shape our perception of the past. The song begins by noting that memories illuminate the corners of our minds, implying that they bring clarity and nostalgia to our thoughts. These memories are described as misty water-colored, evoking a sense of softness and a dream-like quality.
The second verse touches upon the bittersweet nature of memories. The scattered pictures of smiles left behind represent moments of happiness and connection shared with someone in the past. However, the singer wonders if these moments were truly as simple as they seem or if time has rewritten the memories, suggesting that the passage of time may alter our perception of the past.
The chorus introduces the idea that memories can be both beautiful and painful. While the singer acknowledges that some memories are too painful to remember, they choose to forget them instead. Instead, they focus on the laughter shared with the person in question, which becomes the enduring memory whenever they reflect on the past.
Ultimately, "Memory" by Studio 99 captures the complexity of memories and their ability to shape our emotions and perceptions of the past. It explores the notion that memories can be both beautiful and painful, and that we have the power to choose which aspects of the past we hold onto.

Memories light the corners of my mind
Fleeting recollections brighten the edges of my consciousness
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Hazy, soft-toned memories of how things used to be
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Dispersed images capturing the joyful expressions we left in our wake
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
The smiles we exchanged with each other in recognition of our past

Is it possible that everything was much easier in those days

If we had the chance to do it all again
If given the opportunity to relive it once more
Tell me, would we?
Please inform me, would we take that chance
Could we?
Are we capable of doing so
Memories may be beautiful and yet
Recollections can be captivating and yet
What's too painful to remember
What is too agonizing to recall
We simply choose to forget
We consciously opt to erase from our minds
So it's the laughter we will remember
Therefore, it is the moments of joyous laughter that we will retain
Whenever we remember
Every time we recall
The way we were
The manner in which we existed previously
The way we were
The way we used to be
