Chinawoman – Keep in Mind Lyrics

Alternative

The sunlight looks so beautiful on your dying face*
Gives a sense of urgency to our kiss
Even the flowers on parade
Fear soon their cameos will end
We are friends because we know how much it means
Sharing in the story given the ending
Somewhere someone now writes our names
But this edition's limited
So when we touch let's keep in mind
This flesh is rotting all the time
And when we make love be advised
Tomorrow we could both evaporize
If there's something you desire
Confess it now while we're alive
And when we make love keep in mind
That there's a universe inside
This sexy creature
Somewhere someone now writes our names
But this edition's limited
So when we touch let's keep in mind
This flesh is rotting all the time
And when we make love be advised
Tomorrow we could both evaporize
If there's something you desire
Confess it now while we're alive
And when we make love keep in mind
That there's a universe inside
This sexy creature

About This Song

"Keep In Mind" is a haunting electronic meditation on mortality and the urgency it brings to human connection, set against Chinawoman's signature dreamy synth-pop soundscape. The song explores how awareness of death's inevitability intensifies romantic and platonic relationships, transforming ordinary moments into precious, fleeting experiences. Through ethereal vocals and atmospheric production, the track captures the bittersweet beauty of loving someone while fully conscious that all flesh is temporary. The lyrics weave together images of decay and beauty-sunlight on a "dying face," flowers fearing their brief moment-to create a philosophy of passionate presence in the face of impermanence. This distinctive blend of existential dread and romantic tenderness, wrapped in lush electronic textures, exemplifies Chinawoman's ability to make profound philosophical concepts feel intimate and emotionally immediate.
