Drawn From Memory Lyrics
I can see a time when I won't be able to feel the pain no more,
and I can leave this town for other shores.
'cause I could never make it last or ever understand
what you'd keep me for when I turn evil in your hands.
Saying all they have is drawn from memory,
I've got you and tomorrow.
You can steal the scene but you're blind
and the magic will leave you feeling hollow.
The girl that I could never hurt had to go and lose all that power over me,
and I claimed victory.
Saying all they have is drawn from memory, I've got you and tomorrow.
You can steal the scene bit you're blind and the magic will leave you feeling hollow.
So innocent, that sweet look in your eyes,
no hate nor fear could open.
You blessed a part of me without knowing.
And it strikes me that I could cry
and the thought of me crying will start me laughing.
You blessed a part of me without lying.
and I can leave this town for other shores.
'cause I could never make it last or ever understand
what you'd keep me for when I turn evil in your hands.
I've got you and tomorrow.
You can steal the scene but you're blind
and the magic will leave you feeling hollow.
and I claimed victory.
You can steal the scene bit you're blind and the magic will leave you feeling hollow.
no hate nor fear could open.
You blessed a part of me without knowing.
And it strikes me that I could cry
and the thought of me crying will start me laughing.
You blessed a part of me without lying.

Please play this at my funeral! The answer to life, all drawn from memory. No religion, no psychology & no philosophy needed. It's all in our memory neurons. $crew the rest...Fame is not all it's revved up to be, often disappointing, shallow, contrived & FAKE (reality TV, Idol, boy bands) - '...the magic will leave you feeling hollow...'. Human nature, all, has an inseparable alternating dark side - '....& I turn evil at your door / in your hands...' No Jekyll & Hyde, no pop psychology philosophy or neuroscience - just plain & fundamental ''memory formative ANTECEDENT reasons''. https://www.last.fm/music/Embrace/Drawn+From+Memory/Drawn+From+Memory
Seems to me about clinging to the past, and not moving on when you know deep down that doing so is only hurting you but you're too afraid to move on.

i agree, this song is one of my favourites! :)
it's difficult but maybe it's a about a couple who lives in the same town or sort of like it.. and that the guy may have done some terrible things that the people they know sees him as a bad person ... But the GIRL it doesnt matter to her .. SHE LOVES HIM .. amazing
