My false memories. I feel like drowning.

[soyviann]

Switch the light off, go to bed
There's no more room inside my head
The world around me slowly fades away

As I close my eyes and think
The shadows blot my memories
Of all the thing I've tried and failed today

Please don't go, first I need to know
If all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you

I feel like drowning deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning way down in my false memories
I feel like drowning

With blankets wrapped around so tight
That in my dreams, my hands are tied
Now I'm slow-mo running for the door

I've got no clue where it leads
But my lungs need some air to breathe
My eyelids shutter then fall to the floor

Please don't go, first I need to know
If all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you

I feel like drowning deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning way down in my false memories
I feel like drowning

We all reach that dark and fragile destination sometimes
Looking for direction for the light to fill our eyes, fill our eyes

Please don't go, first I need to know
If all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you

I feel like drowning deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning way down in my false memories
I feel like drowning

Not because you care about the comment of it, that has to have lyrics with Christian content nothing wrong just the opposite!

Mike Herrera has been an inspiration to me since i was a little kid. Hes the reason I picked up a guitar and the reason I started singing and writing songs, This man and his music have helped me through so much its almost like his music tells my life story. I love mxpx and Mike Herrera. Thank you for being an inspiration.

[romansweik]

If Mike releases a solo album with songs sounding like this I'm gonna buy it at least ten times.

[KillerBeex]

Goddamn this song its perfect when acoustic :")

i became an mxpx/mike herrera fan around age 11, so that was back in 97-98ish. he was my first famous person crush and i had an entire wall of my room dedicated to him and MxPx. We went through a lot of color ink back in those days. I remember waiting an hour for my apple computer to load quicktime so i could watch Chick Magnet video and squeal with delight. I actually thought I was going to marry him at some point; I even tracked down his e-mail address at one point lol (sorry, mike!)  I finally saw them in my later teens and again at the Stone Pony when I was about 20ish, in 2006 or so (crazy how you start to forget the years and ages!). My entire teenage soundtrack is MxPx pretty much.  I'm delighted to see and hear Mike is doing well and doing his own thing now. He looks even better than he did 15 years ago ;)

[mikeherreravideo]

oh.. i was saying that i'm a completely different person now than I was 20 years ago. I've seen a lot.. done a lot.. and life is crazy.. but i love it. all good man.

[djft]

Best vocals I've ever seen Mike do absolutely flawless

ahogandome

Apaga la luz, ve a la cama
No hay más espacio en el interior de mi cabeza
El mundo a mi alrededor se desvanece lentamente
En cuanto cierro los ojos y pienso en las sombras se borran mis recuerdos
De todo lo que he intentado y he fracasado hoy

Por favor, no te vayas
Primero necesito saber, si todas las mentiras que me dijiste eran verdad
Y el rostro que vi no era realmente tuyo
Me siento como ahogándome, en lo profundo del mar
Me siento como ahogándome, no te molestes en venir por mi
Me siento como ahogándome, baja a la
Mis recuerdos falsos, me siento como ahogándome

Con mantas envueltas alrededor con tanta fuerza
Que en mis sueños tengo las manos atadas
Ahora estoy en cámara lenta corriendo hacia la puerta
No tengo ni idea de a dónde nos lleva, pero mis pulmones necesitan un poco de aire para respirar
Mi obturador y párpados caen al suelo

Por favor, no te vayas
Primero necesito saber, si todas las mentiras que me dijiste eran verdad
Y el rostro que vi no era realmente tuyo
Me siento como ahogándome, en lo profundo de la mar
Me siento como ahogándome, no se moleste en venir en pos de mí
Me siento como ahogándome, baja a la
Mis recuerdos falsos, me siento como ahogándome

Todos estamos por llegar a ese destino oscuro y a menudo frágil,
Buscamos dirección de la luz para llenar nuestros ojos
Llenar nuestros ojos

Por favor, no te vayas
Primero necesito saber, si todas las mentiras que me dijiste eran verdad
Y el rostro que vi no era realmente tuyo
Me siento como ahogándome, en lo profundo de la mar
Me siento como ahogándome, no se moleste en venir en pos de mí
Me siento como ahogándome, baja a la
Mis recuerdos falsos, me siento como ahogándome

ok not to like mxpx.. but as time marches on.. people change.. beliefs change.. no one is the same person they were in high school and then 10 plus years later.. so relax.

First month in Covid lockdown I had to kick an opioid problem alone. Adele, Shinedown and Mike Herrera got me thru the worst. This song, omg. I was trying to sing with it, teeth chattering/chills/crying. By the 4th week I was killing it, singing with my hairbrush microphone lol.
I hope musicians like Mike know the magic ripples that eminate from every chord.
Thanks. ❤️

[rmataczynski]

straight up grew up with mxpx. from about 5th grade and here I am 33 and still jam them weekly!

[LostInStereo]

I love the song, the lyrcis and everything. Now, I can't stop listening!:)

[nickienoblitt]

Thank you Mike, as always, youre lyrics, voice and way with the guitar made me smile, cry, and took my breathe away.

[restusuwasono]
