I Need My Memory Back
The Glitch Mob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got me outta control
I feel my stomach on the roll
I need my memory back
You got me stumbling past
Let's make that night time last
I want to dance like that
The lyrics of "I Need My Memory Back" by The Glitch Mob describe the feeling of being completely under someone's control and losing oneself in the moment. The opening line, "You got me outta control," suggests that the singer is no longer in charge of their actions or emotions. They are overwhelmed and unable to resist the other person's influence. This is reinforced by the line, "I feel my stomach on the roll," indicating a physical reaction to the situation.
The next line, "I need my memory back," suggests that the singer is aware of their loss of control and wants to regain their sense of self. They feel as though they are stumbling past, indicating a lack of clarity in their movements and thoughts. However, they are enjoying the experience, as shown by the line, "Let's make that night time last." They are in the moment and want to prolong the feeling of being under the other person's control.
The final line, "I want to dance like that," is a repetition of an earlier line, showing the singer's desire to lose themselves in the experience, and highlighting the power of music and dance to transport people out of themselves. Overall, these lyrics capture the thrill and danger of losing control to someone, with the implication that the price of the experience is a loss of self-awareness.

What I love is that this is more fast paced and harder drops than their previous works, but you can still hear their trademark sounds. The entire album is amazing keep up the good work.

Besides Fly By Night Only & Mind of a Beast, this song is so powerful I can picture some production company begging you guys for the rights to put it into a scene of nightlife ambience.
Thank you.
