Clearly in front of me, but it's a different world
怀疑记忆 不够清晰
huái yí jì yì bù gòu qīng xī
Suspecting the memories are not clear enough
双手究竟有没有紧握过
shuāng shǒu jiū jìng yǒu méi yǒu jǐn wò guò
Did our hands ever hold tightly
没你的日出日落
méi nǐ de rì chū rì luò
Sunrises and sunsets without you
是我 我忘了说 要记得我
shì wǒ wǒ wàng le shuō yào jì dé wǒ
It's me, I forgot to say, remember me
I close my eyes 你就会出现
I close my eyes nǐ jiù huì chū xiàn
I close my eyes and you appear
I need your love 留在我世界
I need your love liú zài wǒ shì jiè
I need your love to stay in my world
一切都只是错觉
yī qiè dōu zhǐ shì cuò jué
It's all just an illusion
醒来你不在我身边
xǐng lái nǐ bù zài wǒ shēn biān
When I wake up, you're not by my side
继续走 不停留
jì xù zǒu bù tíng liú
Keep walking, don't stop
属于我们的时间
shǔ yú wǒ men de shí jiān
The time that belongs to us
还要几次的擦肩错过
hái yào jǐ cì de cā jiān cuò guò
How many more times do we have to miss each other
多少的懊悔还等着
duō shǎo de ào huǐ hái děng zhe
How much regret is still waiting
I close my eyes 感觉你不远
I close my eyes gǎn jué nǐ bù yuǎn
I close my eyes and feel you're not far
I need you now 奢侈的许愿
I need you now shē chǐ de xǔ yuàn
I need you now, an extravagant wish
眼泪记得你一切
yǎn lèi jì dé nǐ yī qiè
Tears remember everything about you
瞬间 停在 永远
shùn jiān tíng zài yǒng yuǎn
In an instant, it stops at forever
Song Interpretation
Short Summary
Shi Shi's "眼泪记得你" (Remembered) expresses deep sorrow and longing for a lost love. The lyrics capture a sense of yearning, memories of moments shared, and the pain of separation.
Detailed Insights
The song starts with a poignant question asking whether one can step out of a photo, symbolizing the emotional distance that time and absence have created. The lyrics reflect a room filled with emptiness, unable to contain the longing for a past relationship. Telling the air everything that can no longer be spoken directly, it highlights how the memories of love are fragmented yet vivid.
The chorus intensifies the feeling of loss, emphasizing the desire for the other person to stay in the singer's world. It conveys an internal struggle where the memories seem both real and unreal, and the narrator questions whether those moments, such as shared sunrises and sunsets, were ever truly held in their hearts. The recurring plea to "remember me" points to a sense of unfulfilled longing and the regret of not having said enough while they had the chance. The bittersweet nature of the song culminates in the recognition that the memories, no matter how strong, may just be illusions, fading as the person is no longer by their side.
