Erase Me
Remo Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From your memory
Not one lost but forgotten willingly
Erase me, erase me
From your memory
Coward have your friends tell me
You've lost my calls
Days, weeks, months on
Whoever you want
You could respond
If you cared at all
Tear up I the picture I painted of us
As the colors found my brush
Darkness out of my head
Up until the end
Erase me, erase me
From your memory
Not one lost but forgotten willingly
Erase me, erase me
From your memory
Coward have your friends tell me
I felt so strong
Needed and more
Now we're apart
Feeling so blue
From me to you
The way we broke apart
Tear up I the picture I painted of us
As the colors found my brush
Darkness out of my head
Up until the end
Erase me, erase me
From your memory
Not one lost but forgotten willingly
Erase me, erase me
From your memory
Coward have your friends tell me
The song "Erase Me" by Remo Drive is about a person who has been deliberately forgotten by someone they used to care about deeply. The chorus, "Erase me, erase me from your memory," is a plea to the person to remove all memories of them from their mind. The singer of the song feels hurt and upset that they have been erased so easily from the other person's life, and questions why they were forgotten willingly.
The lines "Coward have your friends tell me, you've lost my calls / Days, weeks, months on, blame it on whoever you want" suggest that the other person has been avoiding contact and using their friends as a barrier between them. It seems as though they don't have the courage to face the singer themselves, and instead have chosen the easy way out by not responding at all. The line "If you cared at all" implies that the singer believes the other person doesn't care about them anymore, which makes it even more painful to accept that they have been forgotten.
The song is about the pain of losing someone, but also about the mystery of why they were forgotten. The singer isn't sure why things ended the way they did, and is left to piece together what happened on their own. In the end, they can only hope to be erased from the other person's memory and move on with their life.
