Remember When
The Strungs Lyrics

The lyrics of The Strung's song Remember When talks about regret and nostalgia. The first few lines imply that the person singing is alone because they did not accept the help offered to them. The phrase "leave me hanging on to the things that could have been" indicates that the person is holding on to the past and thinking about what could have been if they had made different choices. The song talks about remembering when the person was a child and carefree, but then they grew up, and life became harder. The phrase "I remember when the adult killed the child inside" suggests that the person lost their innocence as they grew older. They remember the time when life was simple and easy, but now they feel lonely and isolated.

The song goes on to talk about the lessons the person learned through the difficult times they faced. The phrase "all taught me a big lesson that love is a big word" suggests that the person learned that love is a complicated emotion that comes with many challenges. The lyrics also talk about the importance of being honest and having the upper hand, but these words hurt the person and made them feel like they wanted to give up.

In the chorus, the song talks about how forgetting and regretting are part of life, and the person should have let go of the things they were holding on to. The phrase "many times we would fight the way you keep me up all night" suggests that the person was holding on to a toxic relationship that was causing them pain. The song ends with the phrase "let me go," which implies that the person is ready to move on from the past and start a new chapter in their life.
