MEMORY
Windser Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can′t turn back the clocks
Whenever you want to
The world is changing, it won't stop
Even when it′s supposed to

All of the friends you had before
Are raindrops just falling at your door
Every word you said is just a memory stuck in my head
Like a videotape, it's just a memory slipping away
Echoes in the dark fading where we are
Every word you said is just a memory stuck in my head

The future's here, and then it′s gone
Like another sunrise
The light is blinding when it′s on
Living just for tonight

All of the friends I had before
Are raindrops just falling at my door

Every word you said is just a memory stuck in my head
Like a videotape, it's just a memory slipping away
Echoes in the dark fading where we are
Every word you said is just a memory stuck in my head

All of the friends you had before
Raindrops just falling at your door

Every word you said is just a memory stuck in my head
Like a videotape, it′s just a memory slipping away




Echoes in the dark fading where we are
Every word you said is just a memory stuck in my head

Overall Meaning

The song "Memory" by Windsor is a melancholic reflection on the passage of time and the ephemeral nature of memories. The lyrics convey the idea that the past cannot be relived or changed, and that our memories are merely echoes of what once was. The opening lines "You can’t turn back the clocks, whenever you want to" set the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing the impossibility of reversing time. The lines "The world is changing, it won't stop, even when it’s supposed to" acknowledge the fact that change is inevitable, and that the things we hold dear will one day be lost.


The chorus of the song repeats the central theme of memory: "Every word you said is just a memory stuck in my head, like a videotape, it's just a memory slipping away." The use of the word "videotape" brings to mind the idea of something that is recorded and can be played back – but even video tapes degrade over time and eventually become unusable. Similarly, memories may fade or distort as time passes, and they can never be as vivid as they once were. The final lines of the chorus "Echoes in the dark fading where we are" capture this sense of loss and decay, with the echoes of the past growing fainter as we move forward in time.


Overall, "Memory" is a poignant meditation on the transience of life and the importance of holding on to what we can while we can.

Another example is how Alt Nation never disappoints in playing music you won’t hear anywhere else. The eery lyrics and nostalgic and melancholy vibe. This song is everything. Just shared with the one who got away. ❤️
