Loïc Nottet – Sillygomania Lyrics

Loïc Nottet "Sillygomania" Lyrics.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

A man once told me

That it was important never to forget

Because the ghosts of our past

Know every line of our history

And when we feel lonely

There is nothing more comforting

Than a truly happy memory

Which we have kept alive in a corner of our mind

***

Having said this, these memories are not always the best compagnions

Constantly living with regrets or remorse can plunge anyone into a state of deep and impenetrable sadness

Observing the world growing up without aging along with it

Teaches nothing to a child who wants to learn how to live

What is the point in keeping hatred and anger bottled up inside instead of simply wiping it out?

Along with it's dark memory

You are surely aware that the past is a fragile creature

Which must be tamed cautiously

Because even if keeping it close can be comforting to those in doubt

The past and it's ghosts can weaken those who are already anguished

So even if it's true, that we shouldn't forget

More than one man has gone mad through remembering too much

Accumulating too many useless memories inside one self without sorting it out can lead a man into labyrinth from which there's no escape route

So those of you who are listening, listen well

Because maybe your ghosts now each other

And are one and the same
