How You Remind Me
Unveiling the Depths of Self-Reflection Through Nu Rock City's Anthem
Lyrics
Never made it as a wise man
Feeling inadequate intellectually or lacking wisdom
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Unable to succeed even by resorting to theft or dishonest means
Tired of living like a blind man
Exhausted from living without insight or understanding
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
Frustrated by having vision but not emotional sensitivity or empathy
And this is how you remind me
Actions or behavior of someone else reminding the speaker of their true self
This is how you remind me of what I really am
The impact of another person's actions in revealing the speaker's real identity
This is how you remind me of what I really am
-It's not like you to say sorry
Uncharacteristic for the person being addressed to apologize
I was waiting on a different story
Expecting a different explanation or response
This time I'm mistaken
Recognizing a mistake in giving their heart to someone
For handing you a heart worth breaking
Regret for trusting someone with a heart that can be easily broken
And I've been wrong
Admitting past errors or faults
I've been down
Feeling low or experiencing hardship
Into the bottom of every bottle
Engaging in excessive drinking, seeking solace at the bottom of bottles
These five words in my head scream
Inner thoughts questioning the enjoyment of the situation
Are we having fun yet
Expressing doubt or lack of enjoyment
Yet, yet, yet, no no
Repetitive doubts or dissatisfaction with the current state
Yet, yet, yet, no no
-It's not like you didn't know that
-I said I love you and I swear I still do
-And it must have been so bad
-'Cause living with him must have damn near killed you
-And this is how you remind me of what I really am
-This is how you remind me of what I really am
-It's not like you to say sorry
-I was waiting on a different story
-This time I'm mistaken
-For handing you a heart worth breaking
-And I've been wrong
-I've been down
-Into the bottom of every bottle
-These five words in my head, scream
-Are we having fun yet
-Yet, yet, yet, no no
-Yet, yet, yet, no no
-Yet, yet, yet, no no
-Yet, yet, yet, no no
-Never made it as a wise man
Reiteration of feeling inadequate both intellectually and materially
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
-And this is how you remind me
Repeated reflection on how another person's actions reveal the speaker's true self
This is how you remind me
-This is how you remind me of what I really am
-This is how you remind me of what I really am
-It's not like you to say sorry
Uncharacteristic for the person addressed to apologize
I was waiting on a different story
Expecting a different response or resolution
This time I'm mistaken
Recognizing a mistake in giving their heart to someone
For handing you a heart worth breaking
Regret for trusting someone with a heart that can be easily broken
And I've been wrong
Admitting past errors or faults
I've been down
Feeling low or experiencing hardship
Into the bottom of every bottle
Seeking solace through excessive drinking
These five words in my head, scream
Inner thoughts questioning the enjoyment of the situation
Are we having fun yet
Repeated doubts or dissatisfaction with the current state
Yet, yet
-Are we having fun yet
-Yet, yet
-Are we having fun yet
-Yet, yet
-Are we having fun yet
-Yet, yet, no, no
Continued doubt or lack of enjoyment
