Remember When
The Heathers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember when,
When we sat outside,
Digesting nouriture that didn't suit their eyes; we stood our ground,
And took it as a layer to our shells,
But still you laugh at me, why?
All our lives,
Those are the types; that you; can never really lose,
But when you fell into a trap I knew you more than you knew you.
[Chorus:]
I need to go I need to get away from everything,
I'll have to run to get away from here.
I need to go I need to get away from everything,
Just for a while,
Just for a while;
And we will slowly, slowly climb,
Climb,
Over a ladder with no other side.
And we will slowly, slowly climb,
Climb,
Over a ladder with no other side.
Ahhhhh ahha, aaaaahhhh x3
Ahhhhh ahha.
I remember when,
When we sat outside,
Digesting nouriture that didn't suit their eyes; we stood our ground,
And took it as a layer to our shells,
But still you laugh at me, why?
[Chorus:]
The Heathers' song Remember When seems to be all about reminiscing the past and feeling stuck in the present. The first verse describes a moment when the singer and someone else were sitting outside, eating something that didn't please others' eyes. They stood their ground and took the criticism, but still, the other person laughed at the singer, which could indicate a sense of betrayal by someone who the singer thought was on their side. In the following lines, the singer talks about how they thought they knew this person all their lives, but something happened that made them realize they know the other person better than themselves.
The chorus repeats the same lines, indicating the singer's desperate desire to escape everything and run away for a while. The ladder that has no other side could represent a feeling of being stuck or a sense of endless struggle. The repeated "Ahhhh ahha" sounds only add to the melancholia that comes with reminiscing the past and struggling to deal with the present.
Overall, Remember When seems to be about the complicated nature of relationships, the pain of feeling misunderstood, and the desire to escape.

I remember when,
I have memories of a time in the past
When we sat outside,
When we spent time outside
Digesting nouriture that didn't suit their eyes; we stood our ground,
We ate food that other people didn't approve of, but we didn't let them influence us
And took it as a layer to our shells,
We used their disapproval as a way to toughen ourselves up
But still you laugh at me, why?
Despite the fact that we didn't let their disapproval affect us, someone still finds a way to laugh at us
Remember when we thought we'd known eachother,
We used to think we knew each other really well
All our lives,
For as long as we have been alive
Those are the types; that you; can never really lose,
The people who you feel like you truly know are the people who you can never truly lose
But when you fell into a trap I knew you more than you knew you.
When you got caught up in something, I knew you better than you knew yourself
I need to go I need to get away from everything,
I need to leave and escape from everything that's going on
I'll have to run to get away from here.
I have to physically run away from this place
Just for a while,
Just temporarily
And we will slowly, slowly climb,
We will gradually rise up
Over a ladder with no other side.
We will climb over a ladder that leads to nowhere

It's been 13 years since I first heard this. I still listen to this every now and then when a wave of nostalgia about the good ol days hits me :)
@SN3V
All that from two singers and one guitar? It's ridiculous how much talent some people have! Wow, I'm impressed :)

The Corona Virus brought me here in search of simpler times ♥️.
@Grassmeasuring

@lepreconvict3606
@Limerick Lad 1 year and 11 months later and it's still not bleedin gone!
@Kieran84ire
When I hear this song, I suddenly want to go on holiday in West Clare for some inexplicable reason.
@fe5018
That's not inexplicable. It's that bloody Bord Fáilte tv ad seeping out of your subconscious and compelling you to support Irish tourism.
