Don't Forget Me
Echoes of Longing: Remembering in Dreams
Lyrics
Honey do you see me now
Honey, are you acknowledging my presence?
Like I see you in my dreams
Similar to how I perceive you in my dreams?
And if you find the lost and found
If you come across something lost and found,
Aw honey don't forget me
Please, dear, remember me
Honey don't forget me
Emphasizing the plea: Honey, don't forget me
I been a sad
Expressing sadness
Lost what I had
Reflecting on lost possessions
Madman
Describing oneself as a madman
I been a fool
Admitting foolishness
Drowned jumping in the fountain
Metaphorically, taking risks and facing consequences
Oh, but I'm not standing by the side of that road
Refusing to be passive on the journey
Looking for a climate to suit my clothes
Searching for a suitable environment
Nuh-uh
Denying suitability
Uh-huh
Acknowledging suitability
Honey do you see me now
Reiterating the desire for acknowledgment
Like I see you in my dreams
Reinforcing dreamlike perception
And if you find the lost and found
Repeating the theme of lost and found
Aw honey don't forget me
Repetition of the plea: Remember me, honey
Honey don't forget me
Reiteration of the plea: Don't forget me
Drop dead standing by the side of the road
Using a strong expression for feeling ignored
Looking for a lover but ain't too close
Seeking love but maintaining distance
Nuh-uh
Denying closeness
Uh-huh
Acknowledging closeness
Oh, but I'm not staying by the side of that road
Refusing to be static in the face of neglect
Looking for a climate to suit my clothes
Searching for a suitable environment (repeated)
Nuh-uh
Denying suitability (repeated)
Uh-huh
Acknowledging suitability (repeated)
Honey do you see me now
Requesting acknowledgment again
Like I see you in my dreams
Re-emphasizing dreamlike perception
And if you find the lost and found
Reiterating the theme of lost and found
Aw honey don't forget me
Repetition of the plea: Don't forget me, honey
Honey don't forget me
Continued plea: Honey, don't forget me
She's a stiletto-dart straight to the heart
Describing a woman as a potent force
Even when we're miles apart
Expressing emotional connection despite physical distance
I caught the last train downtown
Recalling a specific train journey
I think you know the one
Referencing a train with graffiti hearts
With all the graffiti hearts
Describing the surroundings of the train journey
And folks from little towns
Noting the diversity of people on the train
It takes a curve at a 75 degree angle
Detailing a sharp turn in the train route
Over the Mets stadium
Passing by a significant location (Mets stadium)
And the handrails hold mono and uranium
Referencing potentially dangerous materials
And I tried to let go and earn my sea legs
Attempting to find balance and stability
But I flew out and fell down to home plate
Failing in the attempt and facing consequences
So I walked back to my place
Returning home after the failed attempt
Honey do you see me now
Reiterating the desire for acknowledgment
Like I see you in my dreams
Reinforcing dreamlike perception
And if you find the lost and found
Repeating the theme of lost and found
Aw honey don't forget me
Repetition of the plea: Remember me, honey
Honey don't forget me
Final plea: Honey, don't forget me
