I Remember
Saint Saviour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But bruises brown and fade away
Trinkets in a coat pocket stolen from kids at school
Burned a hole and fed a shame
Someone should have told you that you'd always have a place to go
Uh oh I thought you would have known
Someone should have told you that you'd never find yourself alone
I remember when we would hang about in hollow trees
New sounds, sitting smoking leaves
Walking past boarded up windows gets you down
Sh*t town, knew you couldn't breathe
Someone should have told you that you'd always have a place to go
Uh oh I thought you would have known
Someone should have told you that you'd never find yourself alone
Uh oh, we lost you to the snow
Or maybe you climbed out after all
I didn't wait around to see you fall
You must have known it. You must have known it
You must have known it. You must have known it
In Saint Saviour's song "I Remember", the lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia mixed with regret and sadness about lost friendships. The first stanza describes the memory of the singer and the friend when they were younger and tougher, with bruises that have since faded away. The mention of "trinkets stolen from kids at school" suggests a rebellious and possibly troubled past. The repetition of "someone should have told you" in the chorus implies a sense of parental neglect or lack of guidance. The last line "we lost you to the snow" metaphorically suggests the friend was lost to a cold and lonely place, perhaps a reference to addiction or even suicide.
The second stanza continues to evoke a sense of nostalgia as the singer remembers smoking with the friend in hollow trees and feeling trapped in a small town with boarded-up windows. The phrase "Sh*t town, knew you couldn't breathe" suggests a feeling of suffocation and hopelessness. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the feeling of loss and regret. The final lines of the song "you must have known it" suggest that the friend's troubles were perhaps not unexpected, but that the singer was unable to prevent them. The open interpretation of the song's meaning makes it universal and relatable to anyone who has lost a friend to difficult circumstances.
