Within Temptation – Say My Name Lyrics 17 years ago
I think the song is definitely about Alzheimers. Probably even the daughter singing to the mother who cant recognise her anymore.

"Say my name
So I will know you're back you're here again
For a while"

The "for a while" is the slight sudden traces of memory.

And also, near the end of the song,

"You drift away again
Too far from where I am
When you ask me who I am"

probably means that the mother cant remember her anymore. All the lyrics fit if this was about Alzheimers.

Especially this part:

"You're not aware
Your hands keep still
You just don't know that I am here"
