Mystery has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Three years ago

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I told just yesterday that I love,
And I remember just yesterday you confessed to me too
We went to the festival together, yesterday
And you bought me that beautiful ring the day before today,
Three years ago

I'm pretty sure we held hands back from school,
Yesterday,
I think it was yesterday we became each others first kiss,
Wasn't it yesterday you said you'd wait till I was ready?
Yesterday...

It's a little hazy, but I remember me running in years, yesterday
I'm not too sure, but I know we made up and kissed yesterday
I'm not so sure, but I was happy yesterday when you stayed over
I remember waiting for you at the train station, in the phone booth,
I remember yesterday when I blacked out while that car kept coming closer...

And I'm still stuck in yesterday,
Stuck in the hospital ward,
I'm still find myself in yesterday
Three years ago
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very opeth-sounding song about anterograde amnesia. It's going to use a little reworking, but it's about 7 minutes with a lot of mellow sessions easing from jazz to acoustic metal, most of the lyrics are spoken in a female voice. I'm also doing another one that will be the vocabulary/skill flex later which is about PTSD(look it and the anterograde amnesia up).

Very interesting song! I love the lyrics and the emotion conveyed. But instead of saying both "yesterday" and "three years ago" which mean the same thing, maybe you could try just using one of the phrases. Because "I still find myself in yesterday three years ago" sounds a bit strange. Kind of repetive but has a great rhythym and flow to it.
Overall... me like. Good job.

..mean the same thing...? Zy, what are you on about?

Anyway, Mystery...well, it was good until you make it obvious that it's amnesia with the comment of a car crash and hospital bed. These things shouldn't be included, I feel it portrayed a far better meaning without them..with them...well, it's a little arty farty.
