It's about a lot of things: The things that make a woman stand out in my mind or at least one category of things; how old I am, how memories fade, but somehow leave behind little sentient traces- like how the smell of fresh-cut grass makes me instantly eleven and barefoot- and how encounters of a casual kind tend to leave impressions behind, but those names have slipped away.
Eddie Vedder (my favorite songwriter and the frontman for Pearl Jam) wrote:
I swear I recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place
Cannot find a candle of thought
To light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
I am not saying this is inspired by that because I haven't thought of it until now, but I'm just saying this is in that vein of thought.
