Remind Me
Navigating Life's Crossroads: Umphrey's McGee's 'Remind Me' Wisdom
Lyrics
I forget sometimes to remember
I occasionally forget to recall
Write it down before I lose it
I write it down before it slips my mind
The assessment comes and I surrender
An evaluation occurs, and I give in
It happens every time
This happens consistently
And there's no indication anybody's ever
No one seems to have the correct answer
Gotten it right and has the answer
No indication that anyone has succeeded
But that won't make you wake up feeling any better
Being right doesn't improve your well-being
You don't need to remind me at all
No need to remind me
We've all been lost sometimes
We all experience being lost
We've all felt left behind
We all have felt abandoned
You can't let that define you
Don't let those experiences define you
There's never any signs to
There are no clear signs to guide you
Show you where to go
Indicating uncertainty about the right path
Like you're supposed to know what's right
Feeling pressured to know what's right
Hurry up and pick your side
Hurry and make a decision
Someone told me once that age was just a number
Age is just a number, but it offers no solace
I never found no comfort there
No comfort found in the concept of age
Then I realized 'cause maybe I was younger
Realizing that age doesn't matter
That I don't really care
Indifference towards age
Cause I don't make the rules but I learned how to bend them
Not responsible for making rules but adept at bending them
A lesson learned could still be taught
Learning a lesson is valuable
And if I forgot a few well don't get too offended
If I forget some, don't be overly offended
I guess it's all my fault
Accepting responsibility for mistakes
It's all my fault
Acknowledging fault
Sometimes things go right
Things occasionally go well
It's never overnight
Success takes time
But don't get too excited
Caution against excessive excitement
I don't think you're invited
Suggesting a lack of invitation
If everybody's changing
If everyone is changing
And if you still feel the same things
If you still feel the same, identify the cause
Then tell me who's to blame this time
Seeking accountability for unchanged feelings
