One of my songs, just for the hell of it. The idea is a collsion between a Bowie song "Strangers When We Meet" and a story I read which was about selectively editing memories. If you could erase something really painful from your memory, would you? I wrote this just after the love of my life stomped all over my emotions; blanking her out of my mind seemed like a good idea at the time. Yes, I stole a line from Bowie, yes it was deliberate. My way of acknowledging the influence and inspiration. Mindkiller Now its all over and I have to come to terms and consider the options, its such a can of worms. If I choose to remember all the joy we have shared I have to face all the pain and I dont know if I dare. Like a living bereavement through every dying day there are painful reminders of all that has gone away. Through the cold concrete nightmares, forbidding and empty now - I cant believe its so different - an alien world somehow. Should I take all I have shared with you and erase it from my mind? Spare myself this torture, and leave my emotions blind? Well become part of the faceless crowds we push past in the street with no spark of recognition and be strangers when we meet. This unbearable sorrow draining my life away bereft of all hope, with nothing else left to say. Blessed forgetfulness will lay down in my bed rewinding the tapes of my life, leaving all the words unsaid. And when I wake tomorrow you wont exist for me I wont know what I have lost, wont feel this misery. I have heard that its better to have loved and lost but fools who say these things never counted out the cost. I will take all I have shared with you and erase it from my mind. To spare myself the torture I will leave it all behind, and in the faceless thousands we push past in the street Ill forget that I once loved you... well be strangers when we meet.
