Memory
Through Possession Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To rise in battle is to conquer in struggle. And all I have is a memory of what you've done to me and you'll never see me smile again. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.

Absolutely groovin tune, sounds like a hidden track right from '68. Animation is beautiful, something that Mr Kenneth Anger would adore. Love you guys, this will go far.

A sublime track which effortlessly flows through decades and genres...for any interested obscurists out there, that lovely chiming jangle which cuts through in places, is kind of reminiscent of this track by Garbage And The Flowers, but elevates it exquisitely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi6_WYZIfVk
