Do You Remember
Simon Le Grec Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Marceline: Marceline, is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world?
That must be so confusing for a little girl.
And I know you're going to need me here with you.
But I'm losing myself, and I'm afraid you're gonna lose me too.This magic keeps me alive, but it's making me crazy,
And I need to save you, but who's going to save me?
Please forgive me for whatever I do,
When I don't remember you.Ice King: Marceline, I can feel myself slipping away.
I can't remember what it made me say.
But I remember that I saw you frown.
I swear it wasn't me, it was the crown.This magic keeps me
Together: Alive, but it's making me crazy.
And I need to save you, but who's going to save me? Please forgive me for whatever I do, When I don't remember you.
Please forgive me for whatever I do,
When I don't remember you.




Da da, da da da da da, Da da, da da da da,
Da da da da da da

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Do You Remember" by Simon Le Grec revolve around two characters, Marceline and Ice King, who find themselves in the aftermath of a destroyed world. Marceline seems to be a little girl, and her confusion is palpable in the way she questions her surroundings. The Ice King is struggling to hold onto his identity, as a magic that is keeping him alive is also driving him insane. He worries that he will forget Marceline and lose himself entirely. The two voices sing together in the chorus, expressing a mutual desire to save each other, but acknowledging that they may not be able to save themselves.


The song is a beautiful exploration of the fragility of memory, identity, and relationships. Marceline and the Ice King represent two sides of the struggle to hold onto oneself in the face of overwhelming circumstances. The magic that is keeping the Ice King alive is also erasing his memories and distancing him from the people he loves, making him a poignant figure that is both vulnerable and tragic.


In conclusion, this song is an emotionally charged exploration of themes like loss, memory, and love. It highlights the inner turmoil that people go through when faced with difficult circumstances and reminds us that sometimes, we may not be able to save ourselves, but we can always strive to help others.
