Remember December
Demi Lovato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel a separation coming on
'Cause I know you want to be moving on

I wish it would snow tonight
You'd pull me in, avoid a fight
'Cause I feel a separation coming on
A separation coming on
Just prove that there is nothing left to try
'Cause the truth
I'd rather we'd just both deny

You kiss me with those open eyes
It says so much
It's no surprise, to you
But I've got something left to say

Don't surrender, surrender, surrender
Please remember, remember December
We were so in love back then
Are you listening
To what they say?
Don't go that way
Remember, remember, December
Please remember

Don't surrender

You said, you wouldn't let them change your mind
'Cause when we're together fire melts the ice
Our hearts are both on overdrive
Come with me let's run tonight
Don't let
These memories be left behind

Don't surrender, surrender, surrender
Please remember, remember December
We were so in love back then
Are you listening
To what they say?
Don't go that way
Remember, remember, December
Please remember

I remember, us together
With the promise, of forever
We can do this
Fight the pressure
Please remember December

Don't surrender

Don't surrender, surrender, surrender
Please remember, remember December
We were so in love back then
Are you listening
To what they say?
Don't go that way
Remember, remember, December
Please remember





Don't surrender

Overall Meaning

Demi Lovato's song "Remember December" is a song about a relationship that is falling apart. The lyrics show the singer's awareness that the end is near because she feels a separation coming on. She knows that her partner wants to move on, but she wishes to avoid a fight by holding onto the past. The singer reflects on the state of the relationship and acknowledges that there is nothing left to try, and they should deny the truth. Despite knowing all of this, the singer urges her partner not to surrender and asks them to remember the love they once shared.


The lyrics of the song have a melancholic tone, which perfectly captures the bittersweet feeling of losing someone you care about. The imagery used in the song is quite vivid, and the metaphor of snow is used to represent the comfort the singer desires from the relationship, and running away with her partner is a call for them to hold onto their memories and not let them slip away.

@janeknevermind

Why everyone abandoned the pop rock style and went for the same generic music? I want pop rock to make a comeback. This is the best Demi.

@adamaouidat3092

I agree with you

@GeminiEmpress

I agree

@GeminiEmpress

@@LyssaBeats no it wasnt. Maybe for white people but now literally not many people like pop/punk. I am black and rap isnt really my thing today but now everyone is a rapper

@darreldelago3903

I agree. I still listen to Demi's old stuff while I study because of the pop rock style. There's still some good and new pop rock/ pop punk stuff out there these days, but maybe that's just my "emo" taste for music lol. Stand Atlantic is a great band I think. They have a female singer and are definitely on the more pop punk side, but a good amount still pop.

@user-ly4wt9xp4i

Gemini Empress At the time people were either abusing autotune or doing rock pop
