Remember
Nemesea Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear voices in my head
They won't stop haunting me
Can't breathe, my thought are killing me
They are my enemy

You knew how to sell your lies
I followed easily
Misled couldn't see what you were like

You betrayed me

When I look into your eyes
I see right through your disguise
Suddenly I realize
I don't remember
When I look into your eyes
I discover all your lies
Suddenly I realize I won't remember you

You say "Let me hold your hand
I can't stop loving you"
You lied and made me lose my mind
You betrayed me

When I look into your eyes
I see right through your disguise
Suddenly I realize
I don't remember
When I look into your eyes
I discover all your lies
Suddenly I realize I won't remember you

All you are and all you told me
All you wanted me to be

I hear voices in head
But they are my own this time
I can breathe cause I have found myself
Finally

When I look into your eyes
I see right through your disguise
Suddenly I realize
I don't remember
When I look into your eyes

I discover all your lies
Suddenly I realize I won't remember you

Overall Meaning

"Nemesea's Remember" begins with the singer confessing about the voices she hears in her head, which are haunting and won't let her breathe. She further goes on to describe how it's her own thoughts that are killing her, and how she considers them an enemy. Later in the song, it becomes clear that the voice she's talking about is that of a person she loved and trusted but who betrayed her in the end. The singer was naïve and fell for the person's lies easily, but now she's discovered the truth and wants to move on from the pain inflicted on her.

The chorus serves as a reminiscence of the betrayal, as the singer recalls the falsehoods of the person she loved. She accurately sees through the person's disguise and realizes that she doesn't remember the good times they shared as they were delusional. The second verse has a similar theme as the chorus, with the singer accusing her former lover of making her lose her mind, which later led to her self-discovery.

Overall, the song speaks about betrayal and the strength that comes with self-discovery. The singer received a harsh lesson, but she emerged victorious and learned from the experience.
