Remember Me
Just Jinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did I let go of your hand?
I felt forsaken, felt alone
Felt a long way off from home
I've got some questions, 'bout your dad
And that place you call the promised land
Can I still get there?
I know it's hard
And I'll search every nook and corner
Please send me direction
Oh, please tell me where to turn
And if I make the wrong decisions remember me
I know I stumbled, I fell down
Like broken pieces on the ground
And from that angle, I could see
You sat always next to me
Oh, please send me direction
Oh, please tell me where to turn
And if I make the wrong decision remember me
Regained my senses, found a way
To make the most out of each day
Can I come in?
Can I still get there?
I know it's hard
And I'll search every nook and corner
Please send me direction
Oh, please tell me where to turn
And if I make the wrong decision remember me
Oh remember me
Oh remember me
Oh, I fell down into my own life
Remember me
The song "Remember Me" by Just Jinger confronts the delicate but existential questions of faith and redemption in a raw and honest manner. At the beginning of the song, the singer questions whether they have strayed from the divine path and whether they are being punished for it. They implore Jesus to show them the way and to forgive them for their perceived shortcomings. The singer is in search of meaning, direction, and a way forward.
The song then shifts to a more introspective tone, as the singer acknowledges their own mistakes and regrets. They have hit rock bottom and recognize that they need a guide to point them in the right direction. Though they are lost, they are hopeful that they can still be redeemed and find inner peace. As the song concludes, the singer has found strength and resilience, and acknowledges that they alone are responsible for their own decisions. They hope that they will be remembered for their attempts to do better.
Overall, the song is an emotional journey of self-reflection, regret, and hope. It shows the vulnerability and humility that comes with questioning religion and seeking guidance, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward despite setbacks.
