Don't U Remember
Roach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need your love so badly, I love you, oh, so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you!
I thought at last I'd found you, but other lovers surround you
And "I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you!"
If you'd surrender just for a tender kiss or two
You might discover, that I'm the lover meant for you
And I'd be true, but what's the good of scheming
I know I must be dreaming




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Roach's song Don't U Remember seem to convey the idea of deep longing for someone who is out of reach. The singer is so besotted with this person that they "need their love so badly" and "love them oh so madly". However, the sad reality is that this love is unrequited, and the singer "doesn't stand a ghost of a chance with" this person. It seems as though the singer has tried to pursue this person before, but they have been unsuccessful as they have "other lovers surround" them. Despite this, the singer still longs for them and wishes they would give them a chance - "If you'd surrender just for a tender kiss or two, You might discover that I'm the lover meant for you, And I'd be true". However, the singer recognizes that this is probably just a fleeting dream and that they must come to terms with the fact that this love will never be reciprocated - "but what's the good of scheming, I know I must be dreaming".


Overall, the lyrics seem to capture the feeling of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The singer's deep longing for someone they can never have is a theme that many people can relate to and the lyrics do an excellent job of conveying this message.
