Analysis of Lasting Impression
Never remind me of my past
It means nothing
The present is a constantly disappointing past
It all goes away and becomes memory
Becomes nothing, dust, nature
if only I didn’t matter
I cant disappear
I must hold on
I am holding for dear life
It isn’t a fun ride
It was never fun
It was just a ride
