A metal song about childhood memories and turning them into something good for the present instead of getting stuck in the melancholy of nostalgia. === Check out the metal version here: https://suno.com/song/beff742b-dd11-4d22-8d3d-a22f30654e31 === [Verse 1] Things I remember Not the way they really were A snapshot in time Watercolors in syncopated rhyme [Verse 2] Childhood memories Will they trap me in a freeze? Would it really last? Two doors to choose from: the Present, or Past [Chorus] I remember I feel everything so real Now is the time, movement today Painting pictures with the brushes of yesterday [Verse 4] I must decide now Bringing old dreams to new life Ideals unconfined Abandon the past so I can Redefine [Verse 5] Impressions past seen Building blocks for new colors In the present time I’ll use them today, tapestry array [Chorus] I remember I feel everything so real Now is the time, movement today Painting pictures with the brushes of yesterday [Bridge] Melancholy’s sadness Nostalgia’s refrain Breaking free, start fresh Living in the moment for today [Break w/ Epic Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I remember I feel everything so real Now is the time, movement today Painting pictures with the brushes of yesterday [Fadeout]
