Keep Me
Kyber Caves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know
If I want you anymore
I'm not sure I did before
But if you want
You can keep me in your mind
When I'm not around

Keep me in your mind

Keep me in your mind
Keep me in your mind
When I'm not around

Keep me in your mind
Keep me in your mind
Keep me in your mind
That way I'll be around

I'll keep you in my mind
I'll keep you in my mind

I'll keep you in my mind
When you're not around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kyber Caves's song "Keep Me In" presents the dilemma of the singer's conflicted emotions regarding whether or not they want to continue their relationship. They express feelings of uncertainty, confessing they're not sure if they ever wanted the person before. However, they're willing to stay within the person's thoughts and memories, which is an indication that the singer is not entirely committed but is not entirely ready to let go.

The singer explains that they don't have to be physically present to remain in the other person's thoughts; they need to keep them in their mind even when they're not around. The repetition of the phrase "keep me in your mind" stresses the importance of memory and how vital it is to the continuation of their relationship.

The chorus's last lines are fascinating because they express that the singer will do the same for the other person. This cyclical idea creates an idea of mutual dependency. By keeping each other in mind, they keep each other around. This song's meaning shows that memory is powerful in maintaining any relationship.
