Jeb and Iwa - Memory Thief

from SpinTunes #16 Round 1 by Spintunes

/

about

The scene is the train station from the movie Amélie:
youtu.be/cjh-HXBNHNw?t=17m
We picked this because we tried to find a scene both of us have
enjoyed watching / reading, and we gloriously rented Amélie DVD last
year to watch it tpgether, filling a nostalgic lifestyle I suppose.
The song was created in a couple of hours (including writing the
text), and we got surprised by how fast we recorded it.
We also realised after listening to it today that the main line might
sound like one of James Bond soundtrack... Oh well!

lyrics

I've seen you quite obsessed
Rummaging with no rest
IN other people's memories
Hunting THE discovery-very

Soon appeared a common theme
A repeating face it seems
And thus was born the riddle
That made you feel so little
so little

You gathered for days and days
Images to build a maze
But is there a way out
If you keep changing the routes?
changing the routes? [x4]


You drew patterns for a while
With your finger on dirty tiles
Who owns the eyes looking at you
Every times you look at them

And you saw them heading away
And you ran fast after your prey
But once again far they flew
For walls grew between them and you
them and you

You gathered for days and days
Images to build a maze
But is there a way out
If you keep changing the routes?
Changing the routes [x4]

I watched your indecisive race
Till I noticed you lost
The folder with your memory
Shall I track you now? Irony
