remember me
Split Seven Ways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why couldn't you believe
How much you meant to me?
How much you meant to me?
I've had a life that's full of joy
My husband and my son
But once there was a time
There was beauty under all the dirt
And there was love under all that hurt
But it ran too deep to mend
And I lost my best friend.
I can feel the future closing in
And it can only harm
Is it pulling you apart
Now that mark's burned on your arm?
When all of this is said and done
Can you promise me
That you'll remember me?
That you'll remember me?
When all of this is said and done
Can you promise me
That you'll remember me?
That you'll remember me?
In "Remember Me," Split Seven Ways delves into the complexity of a past relationship. The singer contemplates the absence of someone who they deeply cared for, and who they believe could have been "the one." They express frustration and confusion over why this person couldn't see or comprehend their feelings. The lyrics convey a sense of loss and resignation, as the singer acknowledges that time and space have irrevocably altered the relationship, and that they may not even be capable of fixing things. The final lines of the song are a plea to the other person to remember them - a wish that, despite the pain and change, their connection will remain a part of the other person's life.
The song touches on themes of unrequited love, the passage of time, the inability to repair a broken relationship, and the desire for remembrance. The lyrics suggest a sense of melancholy and longing, but also resilience and strength, as the singer acknowledges the joy that they have in their present life, even as they mourn what could have been.
