Reception Fading is about a parent living with Alzheimers.
lyrics
Reception Fading
Gone, lost in the fog
No laser beam guiding you back home again
Gone, as you slip away
Sliding down the quay of your lost memory
Search, searching to recall
The journey home to all the people you once knew and you once loved.
Chorus
Stepping through the looking glass to the other side
Neither here, neither there in a frightening world
Looking through the family album for faces lost
Just strangers who have been erased and time's forgot
Gone, going back in time
Heading back to childhood, back to places long forgot
Lost in shadows
Neurons scattered, disconnected...memories fractured, unconnected.
Hard to watch you fade
Fade away, day by day, lost in space and time
Cruel...self destruct
The black hole in your mind, sucking all the light away
Try to keep you close
Turn the dial, stay in tune, reception fading all the time.
