Warhaus is moody and atmospheric like the work of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits and has the brooding romanticism of Serge Gainsbourg. Devoldere released three Warhaus albums to date: We Fucked a Flame into Being (2016), Warhaus (2017) and Ha Ha Heartbreak (2022).
Memory
Warhaus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is love when it ain't mine
Whats is luck without disorder
Was there something I could do
To involve me into you
In your chalk circle honey
I expected to be refused or accepted if you choose not prepared for what would happen
Oh what a me me memory
Yeah what a me me memory
Oh what a me me memory
It's a shame babe, you don't remember a thing
Introduce me into you introduce me then into that ceremonial saken
Just because I'm not your man doesn't mean I understand all the things that you are after
I touched you once, And I did it twice but you can't recognice
It was a me me memory
Yeah what a me me memory
Oh what a me me memory
It's a shame babe, you don't remember a thing
Oh what a me me memory
Yeah what a me me memory
Oh what a me me memory
It's a shame babe, you're not remembering me
The song "Memory" by Warhaus seems to be about someone reflecting on a past relationship that they can't let go of. The first verse presents questions that seem to represent the singer's confusion and frustration with their current situation. The lines "What's a crack without a spine" and "What is luck without disorder" suggest that the singer feels incomplete and out of control, perhaps because they can't understand the reasons for their past relationship ending or why they can't move on.
The second verse seems to be a flashback to a specific memory with the person they're addressing. The singer wants to be involved in this person's life again, represented by the line "To involve me into you." However, they can't seem to get through to the person, hence the line "In your chalk circle honey." The chorus repeats the phrase "What a me me memory" over and over again, emphasizing the singer's longing for the past and their inability to let go.
Overall, the lyrics of "Memory" showcase Warhaus's introspective and slightly brooding lyricism, beautifully accompanied by the track's moody instrumentation. The song's exploration of memory and yearning for the past is likely to resonate with any listener who's been through a difficult breakup or loss.

What's a crack without a spine
What is something with an essential part missing
What is love when it ain't mine
What is the point of love when it is not reciprocated
What is luck without disorder
What is the value of good fortune without chaos or unpredictability
Was there something I could do
Is there anything I could have done differently
To involve me into you
To bring me closer to your world
In your chalk circle honey
In your small, limited world
Ah common, common how do I make you work along
What can I do to gain your cooperation and support
I expected to be refused or accepted if you choose not prepared for what would happen
I anticipated rejection or acceptance but was not ready for the outcome
Oh what a me me memory
What a self-centered recollection
Yeah what a me me memory
Yes, how egocentric to remember things this way
It's a shame babe, you don't remember a thing
It is disappointing that you have forgotten everything
Introduce me into you introduce me then into that ceremonial saken
Allow me to be part of your inner world and sacred rituals
Just because I'm not your man doesn't mean I understand all the things that you are after
Not being in a romantic relationship with you does not mean I can read your mind or know your desires
I touched you once, And I did it twice but you can't recognice
I made an effort to connect with you, but you did not appreciate it
It's a shame babe, you're not remembering me
It is unfortunate that you have forgotten about me

What’s a crack without a spine

What is luck without disorder
Was there something I could do
To involve me into you
And your chalks are corny
Ah come on

Though accepted if you choose
Not prepared for what would happen
I want a memory

I want a memory
It’s a shame babe
You don’t remember a thing
Introduce me into you
Introduce me then into
That ceremonial sick end
Just because I’m not your man
Doesn’t mean I understand
All the things that you are after
I touched you once
And I did it twice
But you can’t recognise
It was a memory
Yeah what a memory
I want a memory
It’s a shame babe
You don’t remember a thing
I want a memory
Yeah what a memory
I want a memory
It’s a shame babe
You’re not remembering me

i love every single song in your album, looking forward the official video for "time and again"!
@panafryk5436
This is slightly different from "The good lie", but still I really like the style you represent, and the vocals are hq too (especially bass, which is unexpectedly deep, and I'm telling it bc my voice also matches the bass frequency). Great work, I'm waiting for more. Definately gonna buy the album
