The 13th track from ionnalee’s first solo album in 9 years, EVERYONE AFRAID TO BE FORGOTTEN, “MEMENTO” features iamamiwhoami colleague Barbelle (Claes Björklund) during the verses as a duet.
Driven by the sound of horns, organs and powerful synths, the verses are of a slower tempo than that of the...
[Verse 1: ionnalee and Barbelle]
Big cities, tall buildings, concrete
Obsolete moods, and the scent of smoke
Two worlds and none in which I fit
All covered in dirt
[Interlude]
[Verse 2: ionnalee and Barbelle]
Block letters in your formations
I see shades of you everywhere I turn
Thin line from here to here
Between being sane or disturbed
[Chorus: ionnalee]
We go on with our lives
Our separate ways
And as I pass my time
The memory stays
[Interlude]
[Verse 3: ionnalee and Barbelle]
Cold sweats, but nights won’t wait
We run fast, the light won’t catch us
This life is different, for better or worse
But it’s all an act
[Verse 4: ionnalee and Barbelle]
Like the songs that I’ll play you someday
Like a frozen frame, stuck in my head
No outrunning the ghosts of your past
I learn to live with them
[Chorus: ionnalee]
We go on with our lives
Our separate ways
And as I pass my time
The memory stays
We go on with our lives
Our separate ways
And as I pass my time
The memory stays
[Outro: ionnalee]
The memory stays
The memory stays
The memory stays
Separate ways
