Invisible Ink by Le Tits Now

Our song is inspired by the lies and unreliable memories from the film Memento, particularly (spoilers for plot)
Spoilerthe heartbreaking reveal that Leonard's recurring stories about Sammy Jankis and his wife were actually part of Leonard's own life that he had conditioned himself to forget out of guilt

Following another lead
I got a car and a mission
I keep it all written down
You see, I have this condition
The last thing that I recall
was the act that ruined it all
Following another lead
or is this lead following me?

I've got revenge so many times
Memories that are not mine
I sense there was another life
I left behind

Back before the accident
I witnessed a tragedy
Sammy never had a system
I won't fall victim
to my incapacity

I've got revenge so many times
Memories that are not mine
I sense there was another life
I left behind

What's under my skin
My life is written
In invisible ink
Fact or fiction
It's vague enough
It's vague enough
To mean anything to anyone

You tell me things I can’t believe
To hide from the pain I caused
I changed my own reality
There is no Sammy, it was always me

What's under my skin
My life is written
In invisible ink
Fact or fiction
It's vague enough
It's vague enough
To mean anything to anyone

The vocal sounds good, especially contrasted with the sparse beginning. This has a good arrangement, too, a nice build. The vocals get just a bit lost in the chorus with all the other instruments going all at once. Actually, I think it’s just the active guitar (especially in the right channel) distracting me a bit. I like the layered answering vocals a lot. Not sure there’s a lot here that’s memorable, though.
Lyric: I like that this is specific and that it works when not knowing the source at all. Using “Sammy” does take me out of it a hair but only because I think this would work marvelously without it (in the sense that my imagination could go most anywhere.)

Good take and good lyrics. Minor nitpick, but, "incapacity" sounds a bit awkward, maybe "inability" would have sounded smoother there. Anyway, good stuff all around, not a ton to say about it. I guess maybe I wish the treatment on the main vocals was a little different, like they could be a little drier and more prominent, I think.
