Neue Erinnerung
Rome Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our cause so sweet and bitter
Has lost its hard blood glitter
It remains afloat on the waves
When anger fills our sails
Mutinous for the space of a second
You prayed and feared and beckoned
Now your heart is pounding away
just like mine...

Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?
Your sleep is stabbed by dreams
Just like mine

Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?
Your gift so pure and sweet
Unlike mine

To thank you for what you've brought
We lure you close enough for a sword
And just for a little while
I betray you without guile
Your secret prayer scattering the smoke
Made you squeal, made us hide the rope
Now all fear, all hope is gone
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?
Your sleep is stabbed by dreams
Just like mine

Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?




Your gift so pure and sweet
Unlike mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rome's song Neue Erinnerung speak to the complexities of human emotions and relationships, particularly in the context of having a common cause or goal. The opening lines suggest that while their shared cause may have had some initial appeal, it has lost its luster and is now just floating along aimlessly. The reference to "hard blood glitter" suggests that there may have been some violence or conflict associated with this cause, which has left a bitter aftertaste.


As the song progresses, the lyrics explore the idea of accepting or rejecting the gifts of others, specifically in the context of the person addressed in the second person. The singer questions whether they should accept or reject this person's kindness or shyness, suggesting that there is some sort of tension or hesitation in their relationship. The reference to shared dreams stabbing both of their sleep suggests that there is an uneasy connection between them.


The final lines of the song, which discuss the betrayal of the person addressed in the second person, are particularly provocative. The use of the word "guile" suggests that this betrayal may have been intentional or premeditated, but the lyrics also evoke sympathy for both parties involved. Ultimately, the song seems to be exploring the nuances of human relationships and the different emotions that people experience when they are brought together for a common cause.


Line by Line Meaning

Our cause so sweet and bitter
Our mission is both pleasing and unpleasant


Has lost its hard blood glitter
It has lost its bravery, courage, and importance


It remains afloat on the waves
It continues to exist somehow


When anger fills our sails
When we are filled with fury and rage


Mutinous for the space of a second
Rebellious for a short time


You prayed and feared and beckoned
You supplicated, dreaded, and summoned


Now your heart is pounding away just like mine...
Now your heart is beating fast just like mine...


Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should I approve of this because of kindness?


Should i reject it out of shyness?
Should I refuse it because of timidity?


Your sleep is stabbed by dreams
Your nighttimes are disturbed by dreams


Just like mine
Just like mine are affected by nightmares


Your gift so pure and sweet
Your present is genuine and delightful


Unlike mine
Different from mine in its qualities


To thank you for what you've brought
To appreciate what you have given us


We lure you close enough for a sword
We approach you near enough to hurt you


And just for a little while
Only briefly


I betray you without guile
I deceive you without any intention of honesty


Your secret prayer scattering the smoke
Your confidential plea is dispersing the smoke


Made you squeal, made us hide the rope
Caused you to screech, had us conceal the rope


Now all fear, all hope is gone
Now all apprehension, all anticipation has vanished


Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Like the celestial bodies


Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should I approve of this because of kindness?


Should i reject it out of shyness?
Should I refuse it because of timidity?


Your sleep is stabbed by dreams
Your nighttimes are disturbed by dreams


Just like mine
Just like mine are affected by nightmares


Your gift so pure and sweet
Your present is genuine and delightful


Unlike mine
Different from mine in its qualities

@StClare_

Anyone wanna suggest what the lyrics to this song mean? I find Jerome's lyrics very abstract.

@nopenope5263

Anyone know what the speech is at the very end?

@todoeice89

Can someone translate was is being said at 2:29? I believe its wither German or French.

@eurimos

+todoeice89
It is French :
"I came to tell you
That the fire is out
And that there is nothing left
But ashes
And anguish"

@AtilaVonKaos
