Le Bon is singled out by critics for her "beautiful, haunting voice". She described writing and performing music as "important to me, it's just an expression and sometimes it's not necessary to moralise it". Le Bon claimed that "early experiences with a string of pet deaths had a profound lasting effect on me" and informed her initial self-admitted "abnormal fixation with death". She describes her lyric writing as "foraging for [the right] words and then everything falls into place".
Remembering me
Cate le Bon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I moved in straight lines
My hair was beautiful
My eyes were slow
I hate the heart and the thunderclap
How about that?
My blood from the letter
A flip of moment
Upset and out of touch
Good grief, you miss so much
Oh, oh, remember me (oh, oh, oh)
Louder than empty rooms
Face down in heirlooms
Oh, oh, remembering me (oh, oh, oh)
In the classical rewrite
I wore the heat like
A hundred birthday cakes
Under one sun
I didn't need anyone
On my own luck
I arrived just to seat the choir
And bowled them over
Upset, and out of touch
Good grief, you miss so much
Oh, oh, remember me (oh, oh, oh)
Louder than empty rooms
Face down in heirlooms
Oh, oh, remembering me (oh, oh, oh)
Upset and out of touch
Good grief, you miss so much
Oh, oh, remember me (oh, oh, oh)
Louder than empty rooms
Face down in heirlooms
Oh, oh, remember me (oh, oh, oh)
I must leave the house
I don't wanna be on my own
Oh, oh, remember me (oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, I'm not so good
Put down, I never could
Oh, oh, remembering me (oh, oh, oh)

In the remake of my life
In the reconstruction of my existence
I moved in straight lines
I proceeded with direct intentions
My hair was beautiful
My hair possessed exquisite beauty
My eyes were slow
My vision was leisurely
I hate the heart and the thunderclap
I detest the emotional turmoil and sudden loud noises
How about that?
Isn't that remarkable?
My blood from the letter
My lineage from the written message
A flip of moment
A fleeting instance
Upset and out of touch
Disturbed and disconnected
Good grief, you miss so much
Oh my, you fail to comprehend many things
Oh, oh, remember me (oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, recall my existence (oh, oh, oh)
Louder than empty rooms
More noticeable than vacant spaces
Face down in heirlooms
Lying facedown amid precious possessions
In the classical rewrite
In the nostalgic revision
I wore the heat like
I embraced the intensity like
A hundred birthday cakes
Countless celebrations
Under one sun
Beneath a single celestial body
I didn't need anyone
I didn't require companionship
On my own luck
Relying solely on chance
I arrived just to seat the choir
I came solely to organize the choir
And bowled them over
And utterly astonished them
Oh, oh, remembering me (oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, recalling my existence (oh, oh, oh)
Upset, and out of touch
Disturbed, and disconnected
Good grief, you miss so much
Oh my, you fail to comprehend many things
I must leave the house
I must depart from my dwelling
I don't wanna be on my own
I dislike being alone
Oh, oh, I'm not so good
Oh, oh, I am not in a favorable state
Put down, I never could
Disregard, I could never achieve
Oh, oh, remembering me (oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, recalling my existence (oh, oh, oh)

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the remake of my life
I moved in straight lines
My hair was beautiful
My eyes were slow
I hate the heart of a thunderclap
How about that?
My blood on the letter
That flipped moment
[Chorus]
Upset, and out of touch
Good grief, you missed so much
Oh, oh, remember me
Louder than empty rooms
Face down in heirlooms
Oh, oh, remembering me
[Verse 2]
In the classical rewrite
I wore the heat like
A hundred birthday cakes
Under one sun
I didn’t need anyone
On my own luck
I arrived just to seat the choir
And bowled them over

Letra
[Verso 1]
En el remake de mi vida
Me moví en línea recta
mi cabello era hermoso
Mis ojos eran lentos
Odio el corazón de un trueno
¿Qué hay sobre eso?
Mi sangre en la carta
Ese momento invertido
[Coro]
Molesto y fuera de contacto
Buena pena, te extrañabas mucho
Ay, ay, recuérdame
Más fuerte que las habitaciones vacías
Boca abajo en reliquias
Oh, oh, recordándome
[Verso 2]
En la reescritura clásica
Yo llevaba el calor como
Cien tortas de cumpleaños
bajo un sol
no necesitaba a nadie
Por mi propia suerte
llegué solo para sentar el coro
Y los boleó

« In the remake of my life » is such a POWERFUL opening line! It really hits me on a deep level… it opens so many questions on the passing of time, regrets, not being able to change who we are and our previous actions… very very well phrased in just a few words.

i could not be more excited for this upcoming album omg, all three singles have been so consistent and interesting
Parker Smith
Kate has definitely studied her late 70s - early 80s Bowie and she's doing some amazing work. Running Away was my favorite art experience of 2021. The sound, the visuals, the total package.

I was gonna say the exact same thing, she's been killing it with the latest singles!
Craig B
Brilliant! Definitely one of the more interesting artists around at the minute. Looking forward to seeing her live
