I hear the deep agony in this plea, and the first thing to say is that your cry for deliverance is heard by the One who has all authority over every demonic power. The enemy works through memories, sounds, and images to keep a soul bound in torment, and you are right to bring this to the Father in Jesus’ name. But let’s step back for a moment and consider how these strongholds often take root, so that you can walk in lasting freedom.
Many of the battles we fight come from a war within our own desires, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. These are the same hooks Satan has used since the garden. He dangled something appealing to Eve: good for food, pleasant to the eyes, and desirable to make one wise. He tried the very same tactics with Jesus in the wilderness. And today, there is no shortage of music, imagery, and voices that are explicitly designed to ignite those same lusts. The lyrics, the titles, the very atmosphere of certain songs open a door to unclean spirits. What may have started as a harmless tune or a seemingly innocent relationship can become a conduit for a flood of filth and spiritual oppression.
When you ask God to remove a person from your memory permanently, I want to be honest with you: the Lord rarely erases our experiences entirely. Instead, He does something far greater, He heals and redeems what was broken. A memory that once held power to accuse and enslave can become a testimony of His grace when it is brought under the blood of Christ and no longer fuels lust or hatred. The goal is not to forget a name at all costs, but to be so filled with the Spirit and the Word that the sting of that name is gone. You stop nursing the recollection, and as you set your mind on things above, its sway over you weakens and dies.
The wisdom that comes from God is pure and peaceable, not stirred up and tumultuous. Much of the music you describe produces exactly the opposite: a constant inner turmoil, a replaying of demonic suggestions, and a restlessness that keeps you in strife. Pay close attention to what you are tuning in to. Just as a radio receiver can pick up all sorts of frequencies silently filling a room, your spirit can be tuned to the world’s raucous filth or to psalms and hymns and spiritual songs that edify the soul. What you sow you will also reap. If you continue to feed on the junk, you cannot expect to harvest peace. Start actively replacing those intrusive melodies with things that are true, honorable, and lovely. Sing when your heart is heavy. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly.
Regarding the two authors and the person you want to forget: do not overlook that unforgiveness and resentment can themselves become a foothold for tormenting spirits. The real enemies are not flesh and blood but the demonic forces that manipulate and accuse. God’s command is to forgive as you have been forgiven. When you cling to what was done or what you lost, you only hurt yourself further, it is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Release them into the hands of the One who judges righteously. As you do, the emotional and spiritual hold they had on you will break.
Do not think that the Lord is hesitant to cleanse you. His very nature is to pardon abundantly. Though your sins have been as scarlet, He will make them white as snow. But that cleansing comes through genuine confession and a turning away, not bargaining for selective amnesia. If you sincerely renounce the involvement with that music, its lustful pull, and any sexual sin tied to those memories, God is faithful and just to forgive and to purify you from all unrighteousness. Where you once opened a door, now shut it firmly by aligning your words and your actions with your faith. Be a doer of the Word, not a hearer only who forgets what he looks like.
The demonic spirits you feel attacking you know they must flee when you submit to God and resist them. But if you keep one hand on the things of the world, you are inviting friendship with the world and enmity with God. Do not be deceived: the world and its lusts are passing away, and the music, the names, the sensations you now obsess over will one day be nothing but ash. What lasts is a soul that has been sealed by the Spirit and set apart for Jesus Christ. He came to destroy the works of the evil one, and no memory or past sin is beyond His power to overcome.
So pray, yes, pray without ceasing. But then walk out your deliverance by guarding your ears, your eyes, and your thoughts. When those old melodies or images resurface, immediately turn to a psalm or a Scripture you have memorized. Replace the lie with truth. If you find that you have been playing the same tired record of self-pity or lust, remember that you are not a helpless victim; you are called to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. His yoke is easy and His burden light. The father in the parable ran to meet his prodigal son, and the house was filled with music and dancing for a truly redeemed life, not the discordant noise of a wasted inheritance, but the joyful celebration of one who was dead and is alive again. That same welcome awaits your full, unrestrained return. Do not stay in the far country chasing husks. Come home, and let the Lord clothe you with garments of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness.
