14 Dont You Remember Live Acoustic
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said
No final kiss to seal anything
I had no idea of the state we were in
I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head
But don't you remember, don't you remember?
Baby please remember me once more
When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memories?
I often think about where I went wrong
The more I do, the less I know
But I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness
And a wandering eye, and a heaviness in my head
But don't you remember, don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby please remember me once more
Oh, I gave you the space so you could breathe
I kept my distance so you would be free
In hope that you find the missing piece
To bring you back to me
Why don't you remember, don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby please remember me once more
When will I see you again?
The lyrics of Adele's song Don't You Remember (Live Acous) reflect the pain and longing of a woman who has been abandoned by her lover without any explanation or closure. She is haunted by the lack of goodbye and the absence of any final kiss. She is left with a sense of confusion and bewilderment, not knowing what went wrong and why the relationship had to end so abruptly.
The singer of the song is aware of her own flaws – she has a "fickle heart and a bitterness" and a tendency to "wander" and lose focus. However, she also remembers the love that once existed between her and her partner, and she pleads with him to remember that love and give her one more chance. She wonders if her partner has erased her from his memory and moved on completely, while she still thinks about him and longs to be reunited with him.
Despite the pain of her situation, the woman in the song also shows a degree of self-awareness and maturity. She gave her partner space and distance, hoping that it would help him find what he was missing and come back to her. However, she is now reaching out to him with a plea for him to remember the love they once shared, and to see if there is still a chance for them to be together.
Overall, Adele's lyrics capture the complex emotions of a person who has been left behind, struggling to make sense of what has happened, but still holding onto hope and a desire for reconciliation.
