music to forget  by Rose Villain

The singer revels in the freedom of getting lost on the open highway, driving beneath a canopy of stars while the haunting melodies of Velvet Underground fill the airwaves. They find themselves caught in a tug-of-war between fleeing from a painful past and chasing an elusive dream that remains just out of reach.

Acknowledging the complexity of their emotional turmoil, the singer walks a treacherous path, metaphorically covered in thorns. The weight of their struggles bears down on them, and they harbor a wish to disappear. Yet, amidst this pain, there’s a flicker of hope; perhaps their scars will one day transform into symbols of healing.

Reluctant to return home, the singer yearns to linger in the night, waiting for the sunrise to arrive so they can dance freely, fully embracing the present moment. They confront the reality that things will never revert to what they once were, using music as a means to forget the past, escaping through the rhythm and a newfound sense of liberation.

The singer longs for an eternal Friday, a day where they can immerse themselves in life without the weight of missing someone. With the electrifying sounds of AC/DC pumping through the speakers, the world bursts into vibrant color, igniting a fire within them. They come to the realization that they no longer need the person they once clung to.

Once more, the singer reflects on the enduring nature of their wounds, recognizing that nothing can truly mend them. They navigate through the pain, longing for escape while recognizing the necessity of rising again. There’s a glimmer of hope that their emotional scars might eventually lead to a happy resolution, as they pleaded for the strength to forge ahead.

The singer reiterates their desire to remain out under the stars, to wait for dawn and dance in the embrace of the night. They understand that life has irrevocably changed, yet they turn to music as a refuge, reaffirming their commitment to living in the moment and breaking free from the shadows of the past.

In the outro, the singer repeatedly expresses their longing to forget the person who haunts their thoughts, softly whispering “forgetting you”. This refrain encapsulates their desire to move on from the pain, letting go of memories that no longer serve them and seeking a path toward healing and freedom.
