Remember the past of a future memory.
Groovy downtempo trip-hop. Lay down low and savor the syncopations.
Inhale the electrons from deep within and express the reverse-engineered memory.
Story behind the song
Based on a 4/4+4/4+2/4 meter while overlaying additional meters. A lot of back-and-forth effects.
Lyrics
Your past knows nothing of my own;
No hollow promises were made.
Your ears are deaf to all the lies;
A thousand words that never fade.
Your eyes are blind to what I've seen;
The panicked void of sleep.
Your feet have never wavered from
the thorny path I creep.
And though your nearness now enfolds me,
know that nothing truly holds me.
Your hands have never shielded me,
or stifled screams of jealous fears.
Your skin is numb to my distrust,
or the sting of salty tears.
Your heart is dead to those I've lost;
The hidden wounds of grief.
Your lips are sealed from my desire,
the buried truth beneath.
And though your nearness now enfolds me,
know that nothing truly holds me.
Don't let my shadow mask your flame,
when dusk dissolves the warmth of day.
Dawn will come to call my name,
like yesterday.
Your memories cannot erase
a childhood scrawl on a bedroom wall.
Your fate was never held in doubt
like winter's spring from summer's fall.
Your gentle mother never told you
of a brother lost to nothingness.
A father's frailty forever hidden:
a truth concealed in a goodnight kiss.
Don't let my darkness veil your light
when sunset stains the empty ceiling.
Sunrise clothes my naked plight:
a fetal future ripe for healing.
And though your nearness now enfolds me,
know that nothing truly holds me.
Don't let my shadow mask your flame,
when dusk dissolves the warmth of day.
Dawn will come to call my name,
like yesterday.
