MEMORY
Sugarcult (½´°¡ÄÃÆ®) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could fall apart.
And I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
Feelings insincere.
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This may never start.
I'll tear us apart.
Cannot be your enemy.
Losing half a year.
Waiting for you here
I'd be your anything.
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This may never start.
Tearing out my heart.
I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
(I'd be your memory)
Feelings disappear.
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This could never start.
We could fall apart
And I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
Feelings insincere.
Can I be your memory?
Can I be your memory?
The song "Memory" by Sugarcult is a contemplative and emotional piece with lyrics that express both longing and a hint of resignation to the fact that the relationship may never work out in the end. The first verse sets up the idea that the relationship may not even start, but if it did, it would likely fall apart. The singer asks if they could be the other person's memory, suggesting that even if the relationship doesn't work out, they could at least hold onto the memory of what might have been.
The chorus repeats the idea of going "back to where we lasted" and "back to the disaster," indicating that the singer is caught up in the memory of the relationship and wants to relive those emotions. They know that they could never feel that way again, but they hold onto the hope that they could still capture those feelings. The second verse builds on the first, with the singer suggesting that their own actions may be responsible for the relationship's failure. They again ask if they can be the other person's memory and hope to hold onto whatever feelings they had.
