Remember Me
Reckoning Shadows: Unveiling the Pain Behind 'Remember Me'
Lyrics
you can't take it back for all the days I've spent on the cold cold street
You cannot undo the time I've spent living on the harsh streets.
and the pinch that took your mind from me
The pain or hardship that caused you to lose focus on our relationship.
it's fucking payback
This is a form of revenge or retaliation.
broken, I'm a loss for words for what I could say
I'm emotionally shattered and struggling to find words to express my feelings.
spoken, for every person I couldn't be
I express regret for not being the person others expected me to be.
when it all comes down it's just a broken home
When everything falls apart, it reveals a dysfunctional home.
a broken family
A family that is fractured and in disarray.
tonight's the night you go down
This is the night when you face the consequences.
(reckless)

the terrors of a new life
The fears and challenges of starting a new life.
(in this world)

will never know won't ever know what it's like
Others will never understand or experience the struggles.
so think back, you missed the world of compensation
Reflect on the missed opportunities for compensation or redemption.
brokendown coulds you ever understand
Broken and damaged, can you ever comprehend?
when I look back I can't take away the pain
I can't erase the pain when I reminisce about the past.
so sit back, hear what I have to say
Listen to what I have to say about the situation.
I didn't want this
I didn't desire this outcome.
you dug your grave and I just buried you
You created your own downfall, and I merely witnessed it.
broken, I'm a loss for words for what you couldn't say
