Memories is about a broken relationship that can't be rectify.

When a relationship turns for the worst and there's no better solution than to run as fast as you can and they say there are 50 ways to leave your lover...

Relationships between friends, family, and lovers aren't always based on love. Sometimes they are based on the strongest emotion that the two people feel when they're together, and despite how out of place that feeling may seem, it is often the only thing that keeps their relationship stable and intact-- even convincing them to stay in a stalemate forever due to how strong that emotion is in comparison to the one in all their other relationships.

This lyric is about how fear from a particular event or series of events in your life can grab hold of the latter and twist it around, leaving you a shell of who you used to be. When your life is controlled by fear of being hurt, being ridiculed, and/or being left all alone, the easiest thing to do is give up when faced with a choice that could potentially lead you to the above situations. It takes a lot of courage to realize that you are scared, and a lot more to get up and expel your fear, and therefore give you yourself the chance to live your life to the fullest.

Dies ist ein trauriges Lied mit einem kleinen Funken Hoffnung. Ein geliebter Mensch stirbt und dem zurückbleibenden Partner gelingt es irgendwann doch loszulassen. Der Name ist eigentlich austauschbar.
