Inertia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I've been wondering
'Bout where you've been
And everything that you'd say to me
When I was in the dark and struggling
Look how far we've come

Do you think of me when
You're chasing the dreams that keep you awake

Does it help you sleep
Knowing that there's something left of me inside of you

Lately I've been wondering
If you're missin' me
Causing I'm moving on and I'm doing fine
But every now and then you come across my mind
Can we make this right?

Do you think of me when
You're chasing the dreams that keep you awake
Does it help you sleep
Knowing that there's something left of me inside of you

If it went another way
I could've been the one to make you see
But close to you is far away
I could've been the one who set you free

If I knew then what i could do
I wouldn't let myself get closer to you
Why did you keep the worst of me alive
Left here to keep you floating

If it went another way
I could've been the one to make you see
But close to you is far away
I could've been the one who set you free

Start a fire, ignite the flame
Feel the heat as we disintegrate
Start a fire, ignite the flame
Burn it all cause I'm over it

Lately i've been wondering
'Bout where you've been
And if you think of me when
You're chasing the dreams that keep you awake
Does it help you sleep
Knowing that there's something left of me inside of you
I'm out of sight, out of your mind

Just my ghost is left to haunt you now
Take a breath and just let the words come to you

Overall Meaning

Inertia's song Reminisce speaks to the pain and confusion that comes from a broken relationship. The first verse reveals the singer's curiosity about their former lover's whereabouts and their past conversations in times of struggle. The singer acknowledges the distance they have come since the end of the relationship, but still wonders if their ex-partner ever thinks about them. In the chorus, the singer questions whether their ex-thinks of them while pursuing their dreams, the same dreams that keep them up at night, and whether the thought of the singer helps them sleep better, knowing that a part of them still lingers inside.

The second verse maintains the same tone of nostalgia and asks whether their ex-partner misses them, as the singer claims to be moving on but still occasionally thinking about them. The singer then wonders if things could be made right, indicating that perhaps, they still have unfulfilled or unresolved feelings. The bridge questions what could have been if things had gone differently and regrets the parts of the relationship that hurt the most. The subsequent repetition of the chorus prepares the listener for the end and invites them to let go of everything by setting it all on fire. In the final moments, the singer's ghostly presence is left to haunt their ex-partner, while the listener is reminded to take a deep breath and let the words come out.

Line by Line Meaning

Lately I've been wondering
I have recently been curious

'Bout where you've been
About your whereabouts

And everything that you'd say to me
And every word you spoke to me

When I was in the dark and struggling
When I was in a difficult situation and needed guidance

Look how far we've come
Reflecting on how much has changed since then

Do you think of me when
Do I cross your mind when

You're chasing the dreams that keep you awake
You're pursuing your aspirations that make it hard to sleep

Does it help you sleep
Does it give you peace of mind

Knowing that there's something left of me inside of you
Knowing that a part of me still exists within you

If it went another way
If things had turned out differently

I could've been the one to make you see
I could have been the one to make you understand
