Do You Remember
Peppi Kamadhatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I hear the blame was mine
I'd call you up to say I'm sorry
But I wouldn't want to waste your time
Cause I love you, but I can't take any more
There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
If we could try, like we tried before
Do you remember?
There seemed no way to make up
Cause it seemed your mind was set
And the way you looked it told me
It's a look I know I'll never forget
You could've come over to my side
You could've let me know
You could've tried to see the difference between us
But it seemed too far for you to go.
Do you remember?
Through all of my life
In spite of all the pain
You know people are funny sometimes
Cause they just can't wait
To get hurt again
Do you remember?
There are things we won't recall
Feelings we'll never find
It's taken so long to see it
Cause we never seemed to have the time
There was always something more important to do
More important to say
But "I love you" wasn't one of those things
And now it's too late
Do you remember?
In Peppi Kamadhatu's song "Do You Remember", the singer is reflecting on a past relationship that didn't work out. He acknowledges that there were things left unsaid and unaddressed between them, but he ultimately takes responsibility for the breakdown of the relationship, feeling as though the blame was his. He expresses regret for not trying harder to make things work, but also recognizes that there was a disconnect between them that seemed insurmountable.
The chorus of the song asks the titular question: "Do you remember?" This seems to be directed at the other person in the relationship, asking if they remember the good times they shared and the love they once had. The singer wonders if it's possible to restore what they had, but also recognizes that there were fundamental differences between them that may have been impossible to reconcile.
The verse "Through all of my life / In spite of all the pain / You know people are funny sometimes / Cause they just can't wait / To get hurt again" is particularly poignant, as it speaks to the cycle of pain and hurt that often exist in relationships. Despite the pain the singer has experienced, he recognizes that people often continue to put themselves in situations where they risk being hurt again.
Line by Line Meaning
We never talked about it
We never discussed the issues that caused the problems in our relationship
But I hear the blame was mine
I am aware that I am at fault for the problems in our relationship
I'd call you up to say I'm sorry
I want to apologize to you over the phone
But I wouldn't want to waste your time
However, I am hesitant to do so because I believe it may not accomplish anything
Cause I love you, but I can't take any more
I still have strong feelings for you, but I can't tolerate the pain anymore
There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
When I look at you, I see an expression that is difficult to interpret
If we could try, like we tried before
If we could make an effort to fix our relationship as we did in the past
Would you keep on telling me those lies
Would you continue to deceive me with false statements
Do you remember?
Do you recall the time when we were happy together
There seemed no way to make up
It appeared that we couldn't reconcile our differences
Cause it seemed your mind was set
Because it appeared that you were determined to end things between us
And the way you looked it told me
Your facial expression gave me the impression that you wanted to end things
It's a look I know I'll never forget
It's a look that will stay with me forever
You could've come over to my side
You could have tried to understand my perspective
You could've let me know
You could have communicated with me
You could've tried to see the difference between us
You could have attempted to recognize the distinctions between us
But it seemed too far for you to go.
However, you didn't seem interested in trying to reconcile with me
Through all of my life
Throughout my entire existence
In spite of all the pain
Despite all of the hurt and suffering
You know people are funny sometimes
People are strange at times
Cause they just can't wait
Because they refuse to be patient
To get hurt again
To experience pain once more
There are things we won't recall
There are aspects of our relationship that we won't remember
Feelings we'll never find
There are emotions that we won't be able to locate
It's taken so long to see it
It has taken a long time for me to realize this
Cause we never seemed to have the time
Because we never appeared to have the opportunity
There was always something more important to do
There was always a task that was more vital to complete
More important to say
More critical things to communicate
But "I love you" wasn't one of those things
However, expressing my love for you wasn't one of those things
And now it's too late
And now it's impossible to fix what's been broken
Do you remember?
Do you recollect the moments when we had a great relationship
