memories are designed to
fade
This song is inspired by the movie STRANGE DAYS, and is
actually quoting, almost word for word, Angela Bassette's characters speech
to RAlph Finnes character (Lenny). Im guessing that Darren was so impressed
with their relationship that he used it as a basis for lyrics for a song...
I'd never let you down when you're in a fix
I'd come running when you call
That's my weakness baby
So connected are we
You get your kicks from the ghost of a memory
So busy turning away from reality baby
Then you just won't let it go
But memories fade
Yeah they're designed that way
Ooh yeah yeah ooh yeah
Ooh no no ooh no
But you're so wrapped up in her
That you don't see straight
Watch her mangle the truth
While you take the bait (won't you see?)
So tell me can't you see? (can't you see?)
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need
This thing you're using is worse than a photograph
It picks you up and it turns you inside out now baby
And it just won't let you go
And memories fade
Yeah they're designed that way
She doesn't love you anymore
Maybe she did long ago
You're just a slave to the grind
That she grew tired of it baby (won't you see?)
So tell me can't you see? (can't you see?)
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need
And memories fade
'Cause they're designed that way
Ooh no no ooh yeah
Ooh yeah yeah ooh no
Ooh no no ooh yeah
Ooh yeah ooh yeah
She doesn't love you anymore
Maybe she did long ago
You're just a slave to the grind
That she grew tired of it baby (won't you see?)
So tell me can't you see? (can't you see?)
You're just turning yourself you're just turning yourself
(won't you see?)
Inside out for no need (can't you see?)
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need
