https://guild.xyz/digital-on-chain-records "Memento Mori" is a personal note to my darker side, my alter ego. I firmly believe that each of us carries a mix of good and bad within; absolute purity is unrealistic. What truly matters is which side we allow to take over. There may have been times when our darker selves won the battle. I know mine did. The song serves as a testament of my journey toward self-redemption—a message from me to my other self. Writing the line "Why should I be paying for your crimes?" felt like a declaration of war against living a life imprisoned by my own darkness. It's unfair to claim that it defines who I am; it might be who I can become, but it's not my core identity. The Latin phrase "Memento mori" means "remember that you will die". That's why the last lines of the chorus really capture the heart of the song: "All's memento mori/ So it's time for me to finally be alive". It's a reminder that as long as there's even a single drop of life, death can't take over. The worst within us cannot triumph as long as we preserve the light.
