I Remember
Dead Mau5 ft. Kaskade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go

Add to the memory you keep
Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go

Remember turning on the the night
And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember

Feeling the past moving in
Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go add to the memory you keep

Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through I remember feeling the past moving in

Letting a new day begin
Hold to the time that you know
You don't have to move on to let go add to the memory you keep

Remember when you fall asleep
Hold to the love that you know
You don't have to give up to let go remember turning on the the night

And moving through the morning light
Remember how it was with you
Remember how you pulled me through
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember
I remember

Overall Meaning

"I Remember" is a song that is all about memories and how we can hold onto them while also moving forward. The lyrics are a message of hope that even though we may be feeling the past, we can still appreciate the present and look forward to the future.

This is one of those songs for me that unlocks a specific period in my life. It’s a very bittersweet memory.

17, my first “relationship” and losing my virginity. She was 19 and in an off again, on again relationship with her 26 yr old boyfriend.. who she ended up ditching me for.

It was my first job, decent sized company (20-30 employees) and she was the boss’s daughter working there - everyone fancied her, she was honestly super attractive. You know those people who just have “it”.

I used to fantasise about her every day, just imagining what it would be like if I ever got the chance to talk to her, and creating scenarios in my head. I’d even pray to God, saying she was my dream girl; if I ever had the chance with her I’d be the happiest guy in the world. Never in a million years thought it would happen.

Long story short, it happened. But I don’t even blame her for it not working out, at all. I was a decent looking lad with a “fake confidence” that I couldn’t maintain.

I love this song. But again, it’s bittersweet. Because every time I listen to it.. I remember.

I'm 67. Fell asleep on couch and woke up to this playing on YouTube last night. Never heard of it before and style. Don't listen to music/radio much anymore since I gave up playing long time ago but I know music. This a Real Good. Chords, melody, voice, beat, programming the sounds/textures and the use of space.
Live Long.

I love it! Some of the best music is discovered by chance. Just being in the right place @ the right time. This song brings back memories of 2009 hiking thru the woods with my friends & camping. I miss my 20's....

As a flatbed trucker, I listen to this while driving across Ohio in the dark under full moon. Very magical with all amber lights glowing the highway as she sings.
