Story behind the song
From a series of songs that make up 'La Reverie Triste de Fidélité Lune'. This one is about being linked to one's ancestors and descendants, partly through the medium of inherited stuff. ;-) These songs are more pastoral, poetic and ethereal than my usual efforts. ;-)
Lyrics
I am made of a million memories
Borrowed hopes, others' dreams
My ingredients, reflected in the universe
Random atoms, or so it seems
We are all walking in someone's footsteps
We are all shadowed by ghosts from the past
We are all linked by intangible forces
Given substance by all we outlast
And I don't even belong to myself
I belong to those who are to come
All I am is a family heirloom
I hope my story lives on
Antique lace, like a thousand snowflakes
Trapped in stasis, age surpassed
And my face in an antique mirror
Reflection borrowed from the past
Take my book, take my apparel
Keep the mirror that reflected me
But more than this, take my spirit
Oh, take my smile, my eyes, my ways, the flesh of me
And I don't ...
Time's touch is gentle, I see through it
Past the veil, to those who came before
Repeated actions absorb their energy
Thus invited, I pass through the door
And I don't ...
