A hauntingly beautiful exploration of the slow erosion of memory, capturing the essence of living with dementia. Through evocative lyrics and ethereal soundscapes, the song compares the fading memories of a life once vivid to the slow, inevitable fading of Polaroid photographs left in the sun. As the music weaves through themes of loss, disorientation, and nostalgia, it invites listeners to reflect on the fragility of memory and the passage of time.

Lyrics

I’m a book with pages turning blank
Once a story, now just faded ink
The plot is thinning, words slip away
Like whispers in the wind, they won't stay

I’m a house with open doors
Rooms I don’t recall anymore
Shadows on the walls, they dance and they hide
Lost in a maze I used to reside

Fading Polaroids on the wall
Colors bleed, but they don’t fall
Snapshots of a life I can’t recall
They’re here and then they’re gone,
Like echoes in an empty hall

I’m a clock without a face, spinning slow
No hands to tell the time, no way to know
The hours blend into a twilight haze
Moments slipping by like a dream that strays

I’m a ship with no anchor, adrift at sea
Waves of memories wash over me
Some are clear, but most are lost
Sailing through a fog, I can’t count the cost

Fading Polaroids on the wall
Colors bleed, but they don’t fall
Snapshots of a life I can’t recall
They’re here and then they’re gone,
Like echoes in an empty hall

I reach out, but the pictures blur
Fingertips touch what once was sure
I chase the light, but it slips away
Like chasing shadows at the break of day

Fading Polaroids on the wall
Colors bleed, but they don’t fall
Snapshots of a life I can’t recall
They’re here and then they’re gone,
Like echoes in an empty hall

I’m a fading photograph, left in the sun
Once so vivid, now undone
Memories like Polaroids, lost in time’s embrace
I’ll keep them close, even as they erase

Fading Polaroids

Lyrics

In her mind, the memories fade,
Like whispers lost in twilight’s shade.
She clings to days of youth and light,
Fighting the pull of endless night.

A home of warmth, of laughter's grace,
Now slips away, a distant place.
She pleads to stay where time stands still,
But shadows bend to fate’s cruel will.

Her children’s eyes, with love so deep,
Hold the tears they long to weep.
She knows their pain, she feels their fear,
Yet all she wants is to stay near.

But as the fog draws ever near,
Her heart lets go of all that’s dear.
She whispers, "Take me, it’s okay,"
And lets them lead her gently away.
