ayleen valentine - trinket

Copied!

i vacuum
all around my house
and every Sunday i find trinkets
they’re all memories i forgot about

i use trinkets to remember the past
like a museum of moments
both happy and sad

i can name a few a sight
like the jacket my father wore right before he died
or when i cut my wrist using that dull kitchen knife

i was sad for the longest time
ghost in the machine
but im gonna die
and youre gonna die

i just hope that by the end of it
even angsty and pissed
that i get to 86
with a house full of trinkets

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Trinket" by Ayleen Valentine is a poignant reflection on the memories we hold onto through physical objects. The lyrics paint a picture of a person going about their mundane tasks, like vacuuming, only to stumble upon forgotten trinkets that hold deep emotional significance. These trinkets serve as a connection to the past, preserving moments both happy and sad. The song explores themes of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time, with references to specific memories like a father's jacket and a self-harm incident. Despite the melancholy tone, there is a sense of acceptance and a desire to cherish these trinkets as a way to hold onto the past. The chorus emphasizes the inevitability of death, but also the hope of reaching old age surrounded by a lifetime of meaningful mementos. "Trinket" is a heartfelt and introspective song that invites listeners to reflect on the significance of the objects that shape our memories.
