Keepsake Lyrics
Maybe its all we cant take
keeps us always returning
I'm keeping this as a keepsake
and everything else I'm burning
and maybe its cause you cant wait
keeps you always regretting
I'm keeping this as a keepsake
and everything else forgetting
when were down, down, down,
all the way
can we run away.
and maybe it cause I cant say
keeps you always believing
and maybe its cause you cant say
keeps me always believing
ill give you this as a keepsake
and right after that I'm leaving
and maybe its all we cant take
keeps us always returning
ill give you this as a keepsake
and everything else I'm burning..
I cant sleep..
their hunting me down like an insect
chasing me down like an insect
crushing me down like an insect
stamping me out like an insect
running me down like an insect
keeps us always returning
I'm keeping this as a keepsake
and everything else I'm burning
keeps you always regretting
I'm keeping this as a keepsake
and everything else forgetting
all the way
can we run away.
keeps you always believing
keeps me always believing
ill give you this as a keepsake
and right after that I'm leaving
keeps us always returning
ill give you this as a keepsake
and everything else I'm burning..
chasing me down like an insect
crushing me down like an insect
stamping me out like an insect
running me down like an insect

Glen says this song is about that feeling whereby everything is wrong and the past "hunts you down like an insect".
And you just want to burn everything (in the metaphorical sense of course - to burn is to destroy leaving no trace) that's gone before, all of your memories, and mistakes, and all of the mementos, both physical and mental, that we carry through life - taking only the good thoughts with you as a keepsake - and starting all over again.
The album's title - Burn The Maps - comes from the sentiment behind this song too.
According to Glen "sometimes in life, to get anywhere, you have to burn the maps that showed you the way there, and just become lost again."
To just start all over again with no history or memories of how you got to the mess you're in now.
i think that is soo true!love the song, so calm,makes me think about life
Thanks for the info, niteflite.
Can anyone tell me what he's saying at 3.13? It sounds like ummm, mum, mud. And then he says "can't sleep". It's bothering me.
Or perhaps it's "burn"?
