Remember, Remember
Echoes of Forgotten Promises: The Tale in 'Remember, Remember'
Lyrics
It happened in the middle of September
Reflecting on a past event that occurred in September.
I was trying to marry someone whose name I can't remember
Expressing an attempt to marry someone, but unable to recall their name.
She said she must politely decline
The person declined the proposal politely.
I said "That's fine, it happens all the time
Accepting the rejection and acknowledging it as a common occurrence.
And anyway, I don't really want you anyway
Stating a lack of genuine desire for the person.
I don't really need you anyway
Emphasizing the independence and not needing the person.
I think you'll find it passes the time
Suggesting that time will ease the situation.
And time blows gently on a face like mine"
Commenting on the impact of time on personal experiences.
So when you're running to hide
Advising to recall previous statements when facing challenges.
Remember what you said to me
Repeating the importance of remembering past words in different contexts.
And when you finally decide
-Remember what you said to me
-In the morning, in the morning
-Remember what you said to me
-In the morning, in the morning
-Remember, remember
-She said she liked to worry for tomorrow
Describing someone who worries about the future.
She carries round her problems in a bucket full of sorrow
Metaphorically carrying problems as a burden.
I said "that must be heavy to bear"
Acknowledging the weight of the burdensome situation.
And she said "yeah," and so I left it there
Leaving the conversation at that point.
And anyway, I don't really want you anyway
Reiterating a lack of genuine desire for the person.
I don't really want you anyway
Emphasizing the lack of true interest.
I think you'll find it passes the time
Repeating the idea that time will pass and ease the situation.
And time blows gently on a face like mine
Reiterating the impact of time on personal experiences.
So when you're running to hide
Continuing the theme of remembering past words in different situations.
Remember what you said to me
-And when you finally decide
-Remember what you said to me
-In the morning, in the morning
-Remember what you said to me
-In the morning, in the morning
-Remember, remember
-'Cause blinded by the light you're out to get me
Expressing a feeling of being targeted or deceived.
Tomorrow you'll deny you ever met me
Anticipating denial and betrayal in the future.
Frail, from another tall tale
Describing a fragile state resulting from a fabricated story.
Sticky ends and stormy weather
Referring to challenging and turbulent circumstances.
Perhaps we're meant to be together?
Pondering whether the individuals are meant to be together despite challenges.
So when you're running to hide
Repeating the advice to remember past words, extending it to every morning.
Remember what you said to me
-And when you finally decide
-Remember what you said to me
-In the morning, in the morning
-Remember what you said to me
-In the morning, every morning
-Remember, remember
