I Remember
R. Simeon Bowring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
散场的啤酒摇滚乐 被遗忘在夏天
未来好远 谁都不怕告别
爱我的和我爱过的 都是轻狂岁月
我还记得 滂沱大雨中 奔跑过的街
大大的天 小小屋檐 最单纯的世界
我还记得 日落的小镇 飞翔的野雁
突然 了解 为什么我们 最后 要说再见
都是我们爱过恨过疯过的纪念
I remember everyday 在你离开我的那一天
没有遗憾 记住了永远
熟悉小店 依旧卖着思念
翻开你搞怪的照片 却翻不回昨天
带走感谢 我不带走从前
倔强的青春多固执 用伤口作纪念
我还记得 滂沱大雨中 奔跑过的街
大大的天 小小屋檐 最单纯的世界
我只记得 说过要一起 追逐的蓝天
突然 发现 逝去那些年 都让 我好怀念
I remember everyday 收藏的笑与泪
都是我们爱过恨过疯过的纪念
I remember everyday 在你离开我的那一天
没有遗憾 记住了永远
I remember everyday 收藏的笑与泪
都是我们爱过恨过疯过的纪念
I remember everyday 在你离开我的那一天
没有遗憾 记住了永远
I remember everyday 写下的每一页
都是我们 最爱的 最恨的 最疯狂 最想念
I remember everyday 在我想起你的这一天
手紧握着知足的眼泪
忘了遗憾 记住了 永远
The lyrics of "I Remember" by R. Simeon Bowring invoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection on past experiences. The opening lines list various memories including redwood trees, bumper cars, wolverines, submarines, lemons, limes, and tangerines. These seemingly random memories represent a sense of longing for simpler times and happy memories. The following lines acknowledge the unfairness of history and the selective nature of how it is presented. However, amidst the chaos of the world, the singer remembers a person who was there with them during these experiences, represented by their golden smile and shining hair. The repetition of the phrase "I recall it wasn't fair" emphasizes the singer's frustration with the world.
The lyrics then shift to evoke a sense of contrast and duality as the singer remembers the "lowest ebb and highest tide" and a "symbol wave." These phrases represent the natural world's ability to offer both joy and destruction. The singer then reflects on the failure of progress in society and the prevalence of "sweet conspiracies." The final lines bring the listener to the edge of the continent, representing an ending or a new beginning.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Remember" conjure a wistful attempt to relive happy memories amidst the chaos and injustice of the world. The song's structure and repetition enforce this sense of longing and frustration, and the final lines offer a sense of resolution or closure.

Thinking back to the frustrating traffic jams and chaos caused by a multitude of motor vehicles
Motor boys and girls with tans
The sight of sun-kissed motor enthusiasts still lingers in my mind

Recalling those who almost achieved greatness, but fell short
History is made
Acknowledging the undeniable impact of historic events

Reflecting on how history has been selectively presented to appear biased and unjust
I recall that you were there
Remembering the presence of someone special, characterized by their glowing smile and lustrous hair
Golden smile and shining hair
Euphorically reminiscing about the majesty of that person's smile and hair

A symbol wave I must confide
Admitting that a powerful symbolic wave has left a lasting impression on me
I guess we took us for a ride
Admitting the foolishness of our past actions and decisions
I guess it's just a gesture
Coming to terms with the fact that some actions are just symbolic
I remember this defense
Thinking of previous failed attempts at defending oneself
Progress fails pacific sense
Acknowledging how a lack of progress can lead to irrational behavior
All those sweet conspiracies
Revisiting all the secretive plans that were made behind closed doors
I remember all these things
Compiling all of these memories into one cohesive moment
At the end of the continent
Meditating on the edge of our world as we know it
At the edge of the continent
Contemplating the boundary where land meets ocean and civilization meets the unknown
