I Remember It Too
Blue October UK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Just) Like a movie ending the day
Will we walk together and down that road
Finding "paradise" in the haze
It's gone two in the morning
With all hope slip
Sliding around our blues
Don't show me no "cul de sac"
Sometimes, I remember it too
Get a glimpse of you
Sometimes, I remember it too
Catch a breath of you
Sometimes, I remember it too...
One man's fallen, the women's saved
How they've both had loving to burn
Hands so close to an only flame
They've got an age old lesson to learn
It's gone five in the morning
I feel the warm air rising up out the blue
And are tears laying cross the land
Just an early morning dew?
Sometimes, I remember it too
Get a glimpse of you
Sometimes, I remember it too
Catch a breath of you
Sometimes, I remember it too...
The first verse of Blue October's song "I Remember it Too" speaks to the idea of a promised future with someone, symbolized by the movie ending trope. The singer agrees to this future and wonders if they will walk together down the path towards "paradise". However, the second line of the second verse, "With all hope slip, sliding around our blues," suggests that this promised future may not come to fruition as the relationship stands on shaky ground. The idea of a "cul de sac" is thrown in as a metaphor for a dead end, indicating that neither party wants to hit a point where there is no progress possible.
The chorus of the song is a refrain of the phrase "Sometimes, I remember it too", followed by two lines about seeing or catching a glimpse of "you". This repetition of a nostalgic phrase underscores the theme of longing and reminiscing about something that may not be possible anymore. The third verse shifts to a third person perspective, following the story of a man who has fallen and a woman who has saved him, but both have "loving to burn". The idea of a last flicker of love is symbolized by the "only flame" and the two need to learn an age-old lesson, presumably about holding on to what they have while they still can.
Overall, "I Remember it Too" is a song about holding on to the memories of past loves and promised futures while acknowledging that they may not come true. The repeated phrase "Sometimes, I remember it too" echoes the sentiment of nostalgia and loss that permeates throughout the song.
