Your Name (Has Slipped My Mind Again) Lyrics
Something stops me from seeing too clear
A misty haze floats round the room
The murmurs make it hard to hear
The voices and the words
The days seem to drag away
My speech is sparse and tends to slur
I wonder what happened to my friend to day
Can't hear the words
Chorus:
O O
Your name has slipped my mind again
O O O O O
O O
Your name has slipped my mind again
O O O O O
It's hard to focus in this light
I'm growing warm and feeling dull
The heartbeat pounds with vicious fright
There's something to remember
I clench my fist but feel no sensation
The walls around me spin and sway
A flash back image in my vision
I remember
(Repeat chorus 3 times)
A misty haze floats round the room
The murmurs make it hard to hear
The voices and the words
My speech is sparse and tends to slur
I wonder what happened to my friend to day
Can't hear the words
Your name has slipped my mind again
O O O O O
O O
Your name has slipped my mind again
O O O O O
I'm growing warm and feeling dull
The heartbeat pounds with vicious fright
There's something to remember
The walls around me spin and sway
A flash back image in my vision
I remember

I always got the impression that this song is about being drunk, maybe at a party. The author is speaking to someone but can't remember their name due to the alcohol. Or maybe some other drug.
For me the drum is the dominant moment of the song. It’s a reminder of the utter finality of the seconds ticking irrevocably away. think of this as a celebration of getting older and a reminder to live now.
I always think of agony, that person experience after explosion, probably nuclear. He tries to remember someone before he passes. But can't help. Early version contents sfx of shooting and other eerie sounds. I dont't know why they removed them.
