POP ETC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My sights are set on a place you can't go, you can't go
Remember the good times we had
Please don't pretend that it was all bad, all bad
Cause the futures getting better all the time
And the past it is getting border all the time
So please, don't forget me
I know I fucked up in the end
Oh but please, don't forget me
It isn't hard to understand, why we can't hold on to what we had
Oh but please, don't forget me
You're finding a way to move on, I know my place in your heart is long gone
It's long gone
But the earth keeps spinning around
It doesn't stop when you're crashing down
It doesn't stop when you're crashing down
And I watch you getting stronger all the time
And I know that I should focus on what's mine
But please, don't forget me
I know I fucked up in the end
And we can never be friends
Oh but please, don't forget me
It isn't hard to understand, why we can't hold on to what we had
Oh but please, don't forget me
Please, don't forget me
Please, oh
Please Don't Forget Me is a melancholic song that is a direct plea from someone who has lost someone that they care about deeply. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and helplessness as the person realizes that they have made mistakes in the past that have led to the relationship ending. The opening line "you're running on empty" sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which acknowledge that the other person has moved on with their life and has left the singer behind. However, the singer doesn't want to be forgotten, as they still hold onto the memories of the good times that they shared together.
The phrase "my sights are set on a place you can't go" is a poignant one that suggests that the singer still has hope that things can be salvaged, but they know deep down that it's not possible. They then go on to plead with the other person not to paint the whole relationship as negative, recognizing that there were good times in the past that maybe both parties cherish. The chorus is a plea to be remembered, even if it's just in passing.
The second verse acknowledges that the other person is finding ways to move on with their life, even though the singer knows that they have been left behind. However, they also recognize that life goes on and that even though they're struggling to move on, they know that their ex is getting stronger with every passing day. The lyrics then end on a bittersweet note with a repetition of the chorus, underscoring how much the singer craves to be remembered.

I love the vocalist for this band. I always have. I loved his voice in The Morning Benders and I love his voice in Pop Etc. he deserves more recognition. I love every single note this guy's voice can make and his artistic ideas are always unique. I am excited for what comes next. ❤
