Remember Me
Mikel Ameen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See I left my fathers home
And I fell into a well of hope
I'm carrying my heart but it's made of stone
I'm carrying my heart but my heart is made of stone
See I left my mothers heart
And I fell into a well of hope
I'm carrying my heart but it's made of stone
I'm carrying my heart but my heart is made of stone
I'm carrying my heart but it's made of stone
oh I'm carrying my heart but my heart is made of stone
Oooh ohhwooahh oooooah aoowoahh
ooooohhh wooaahh ooooooohh oooooaahhh
The lyrics to Mikel Ameen's song Remember Me speak of a difficult journey in life, one that involves leaving behind the comfort and familiarity of one's parents' love and home. The lines "See I left my mother's heart / See I left my father's home" convey a sense of separation and loneliness, as the singer ventures out into the unknown. However, the next line "And I fell into a well of hope" suggests that despite the hardships, there is still a glimmer of optimism and a belief that things will get better.
The repeated line "I'm carrying my heart but it's made of stone" emphasizes the emotional weight that the singer is carrying with them. It suggests that they have had to build up emotional barriers in order to protect themselves from further hurt and disappointment. Despite this, the singer tries to hold on to hope and find meaning in their struggles.
Overall, the song conveys a message of resilience in the face of adversity. It speaks to the human experience of having to leave behind the comfort and security of home, and the challenges that come with forging a new path. But it also holds out the possibility of hope and growth in the midst of that struggle.
