A Friday Night Funkin' song based off the mod “Everywhere At The End Of Funk”, telling the story of a character who does not want to forget who they are, or be forgotten to the grips of dementia.
[Verse 1]
I feel the music within
But the memories escaped
I know i’m losing my mind
And the static calls
With every silence I take
I can see myself slipping aside
I’m running out of time
I’m losing everything
Soon there’s nothing left
To forget
The pictures framed behind
They mean nothing
There will be nothing left
To hide
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And i’m calling out
Beyond the veil of me
I am not okay
I’ll drag my mind through the dark
Need you to promise me
That you won’t forget my name
Pleasе don’t forget me
[Chorus]
I can hear your mеlody
Like a distant memory
But it’s too far gone
The dark is overflowing
You’re holding onto your breath
Keep holding onto the past
But this time you should know
It’s time to let me go
(It’s time to let me go)
[Verse 2]
I’ll hum the same sad song
We used to always sing
Though I can’t remember your face
And it won’t be long
Til static takes everything
It won’t be long until i’m erased
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hear me calling out
Somebody save me please
Please don’t let me fade
Falling deep in the dark
I feel you reach for me
But this time I can’t find my way
[Chorus]
I can hear your melody
Like a distant memory
But it’s too far gone
The dark is overflowing
You’re holding onto your breath
Keep holding onto the past
But this time you should know
It’s time to let me go
(It’s time to let me go)
[Bridge]
I know you still want to see
Your future next to me
But i’m stuck in retrograde
I know you still want to find
The way to show me light
And I am still alive
I’m alive
I’m alive
[Chorus
I can hear your melody
Like a distant memory
But it’s too far gone
The dark is overflowing
You’re holding onto your breath
Keep holding onto the past
But this time you should know
It’s time to let me go
(It’s time to let me go)
[Outro]
(It's time to let me go)
