Memory

"Memory" by Bestla is the Bitch is a poignant song about reminiscing on the past and finding a way to move on from it.
The opening lines of "Memory, turn your face to the moonlight, let your memory lead you" reinforce the idea that the song is about looking back at past experiences, perhaps with a sense of nostalgia or longing for a time that once was.
The narrator seems to be reflecting on a time when they were happy and content, as they remember "a time I knew what happiness was." The specifics of this time are not revealed, leaving room for interpretation, but it appears to be a period in the past that they are trying to recapture or reconnect with.
The line "If you find there the meaning of what happiness is, then a new life will begin" suggests that the narrator is searching for a way to move on from this period and find happiness in the present. This theme of renewal is repeated throughout the song, as the narrator sings about waiting for a new day to begin and not giving in to past memories.
The contrast between the bright, hopeful moments of the song ("Sunlight through the trees in the summer, endless masquerading") and the darker moments ("Burnt out ends of smokey days, the stale cold smell of morning") reflects the bittersweet nature of nostalgia - it can be both beautiful and painful.
The final lines of the song, "If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is, look, a new day has begun," suggest that the narrator has found a way to reconcile their past with the present, and is ready to move on with a new outlook on life.
