“Memory Loss” is Missouri rapper (turned rocker) Oliver Francis’s first 2022 release. It follows his 2021 EP, Oli FM.
In stark contrast to his previous work, Oliver opts to take a rock-focus on the latest track. Oliver first teased the track with an Instagram post outlining the eerie introduction....
[Verse 1]
Something in the shadows, I can see it shift and shape
It's in the walls when I'm lying wide awake
Is the situation better if I take myself away?
Rewind, erase every memory of my face
I'd have heard you in the echo of a demon's beating wings
Another fleeting memory that I could never reach
It was scrawled on your headboard, that's when you saw me
Fall from the top floor down to the concrete
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I cannot stand to look at myself
And if you really wanna know I wish I was someone else
I do the same old things, no, I don't need your help
Because it's all okay when I'm free fallin'
Delicately reach into your memory's core
I'm erasing everything you have of me and some more
'Cause I won't exist if you take these sedatives
[Chorus]
I'll be your memory loss when it’s all too much
Take the right pills, you can forget us
It's almost like it all never happened
I'll be your memory loss when it’s all too much
Take the right pills, you can forget us
'Cause love is just a chemical reaction
[Verse 2]
I can feel you breathing, we were always interlinked
I feel the steady pulse of the machines
In this artificial consciousness where everything's a dream
The fall, the spring, every season in between
Heard a whisper through the smoke, they saying "come and fill your lungs"
I got bloody sheets and pillowcases locked up in my trunks
It was scrawled on your headboard, that's when you saw me
Fall from the top floor down to the concrete
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day I cannot stand to look at myself
And if you really wanna know I wish I was someone else
I do the same old things, no, I don't need your help
Because it's all okay when I'm free fallin'
Delicately reach into your memory's core
I'm erasing everything you have of me and some more
'Cause I'm losing grip, slipping through your fingertips
[Chorus]
I'll be your memory loss when it’s all too much
Take the right pills, you can forget us
It's almost like it all never happened
I'll be your memory loss when it’s all too much
Take the right pills, you can forget us
'Cause love is just a chemical reaction
[Bridge]
And you watch me fall apart
And every single breath, your lungs might break
Only stretchin' further than my wings
I fall headfirst
And when the clock strikes twelve
I erase myself for good
[Chorus]
Memory loss when it’s all too much
Take the right pills, you can forget us
It's almost like it all never happened
I'll be your memory loss when it’s all too much
Take the right pills, you can forget us
'Cause love is just a chemical reaction
I'll be your memory loss when it’s all much
Take the right pill so you can forget us
'Cause love is just a chemical reaction
[Outro]
Love is just a chemical reaction
Love is just a chemical reaction
