Try To Remember
Altaria Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another young and restless soul
Trapped in a world of shattered dreams
Craving for a shelter to be warm
But there is no-one there for me

Changes of the past still hold me down
To break free
I tried to hold on to that dream

That once again will sleep away

Feels like I'm drowning in tears
Drifting away with the stream
I hear them calling my name
I am fading away

Send me down an angel
From the heavens above the earth
And i try to remember
How this live find a

We are the solid walls of stone
The fields of green so wide

Climbing a stairway made of stars
Leaving the sorrows far behind

Feels like I'm drowning in tears
Drifting away with the stream
I hear them calling my name
I am fading away

Send me down an angel
From the heavens above the earth
And i try to remember
How this live find a

Send me down an angel
From the heavens above the earth
And i try to remember
How this live find a

Send me down an angel
From the heavens above the earth

And i try to remember
How this live find a

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Altaria's song "Try to Remember" tell the story of a young person who feels lost and alone in a world full of shattered dreams. The singer longs for someone to comfort them, but no one is there. They feel weighed down by the changes of the past, unable to break free from their hold. The singer tries to hold on to their dreams, but they keep slipping away. They feel like they're drowning in tears and drifting away with the stream, while someone calls their name as they fade away.

The lyrics evoke a strong sense of longing and despair, with the repeated refrain of "send me down an angel from the heavens above the earth" expressing a desire for divine intervention to rescue the singer from their pain. The second half of the song offers a glimmer of hope, with the singer imagining solid walls of stone, fields of green that stretch far and wide, and a stairway made of stars leading away from sorrow.
