Name: Unreliable Narrator
Duration: P00H02M30S

about

As Winston Smith showed us all so thoroughly, the past exists only in our minds. The problem is, our minds are terribly unreliable narrators. The times we cast in a golden light of perfection were, in reality, still filled with annoyances and irritations which our memories so conveniently leave out.

lyrics

I wander along the path of my memory. Laid under, green leaves shades of uncertainty. But these days I, skew things a bit to favorably. I can no longer tell.

If it was real? Or maybe in a dream? Or maybe somewhere in between? Caught up on a memory, that never was. The unreliability of my memory will be the death of my sanity.

So I look for a shred of objectivity, but still I can't seem to shake the proclivity. For pushing, out of mind the things I couldn't stand. And I know it's true..

That you were not, the way I see you now, I reminisce a romanticized ideal caught up on a dirty lie, that never was. The unreliability of my memory will be the death of my sanity.

This soundtrack has pretty much made my entire childhood so I'm excited to hear the vinyl of it! Praying that one day we can hear the third album but no pressure, since everything surrounding it must've been super stressful to deal with. Always looking forward to hear your next work! imande
