Whenever I hear the phrase “memento mori,” my mind always jumped to American Psycho. In the musical, Patrick Bateman says “Even if this story is overwrought and gory, it’s not a fable, it’s not an allegory. No cautionary tale, no memento mori or a vague perhaps.”
The Latin phrase translates roughly to “remember you must die” or “remember your death.” So in the song “This Is Not an Exit” from American Psycho, the meaning of memento mori is dark. It means that there is no death or you will not remember your death or the deaths you’ve found here. That was how I always viewed the Latin phrase. It is tied further into the world of American Psycho through ties to Dante Alighieri with the writing of “ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE” on the wall.
