The Remain
Golem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never forget man who they are
What they are here for and what they're searching
They'll ask you to lower your guard
Keep on warning the world around you

And you
Had never thought that you could be that evil
And you
Have lost the hope to be their saving hero

Pretend to be wounded they'll get closer
Pretend to be dead they'll be right on you
Will be much easier to pull them down
Supposed victory will be surrender

And you
Had never thought that you could be that evil
And you
Have lost the hope to be their saving hero

The silence and old pains
That now are slowly waking
Are keeping your poor mind on fire
What is left, what remains now
The memory's surviving
A man that once believed in justice

Early plans have been replaced
We believed in a world misleading
Fear itself must be the blame
And fear the sense of guilt we're feeling

And you
Had never thought that you could be that evil
And you
Have lost the hope to be their saving hero

The silence and old pains
That now are slowly waking
Are keeping your poor mind on fire
What is left, what remains now




The memory's surviving
A man that once believed in justice

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Golem's song "The Remain" are a poignant statement about the loss of innocence and hope in a world that has become corrupt and violent. The opening verse speaks of a warning to never forget who people are and what they are here for, indicating that there is a sense of danger and potential harm in the world. The lines "they'll ask you to lower your guard / keep on warning the world around you" indicate that there are those who will try to deceive and manipulate others for their own gain. The chorus is a lament for the loss of hope and the realization that even the best intentions can be corrupted by the evil in the world. The lines "and you / had never thought that you could be that evil / and you / have lost the hope to be their saving hero" express a sense of disappointment and disillusionment with oneself and the world.


The second verse offers advice on how to survive in this dangerous world - by pretending to be wounded or dead, one can avoid being targeted by attackers. However, the victory in this case is not a true one, but a surrender to the evil that pervades the world. The third verse speaks of the toll that this world takes on a person's mind and spirit - old pains and memories that can never be erased, and the realization that the world is not what we once believed it to be. The final lines are a poignant reminder of what has been lost - the memory of a man who once believed in justice.

Mamma mia, this kicks right in the teenager-days feels. This is synthie MDM of the cheesy sort, but nonetheless highly enjoyable. Italy has it with its modern MDM.

Italian Modern MDM with Disarmonia Mundi on its pinnacle is unique indeed \m/
