Something to Remind You Lyrics

So this is it
I say goodbye
To this chapter of my ever-changing life
And there's mistakes
The path is long
And I'm sure I'll answer for them when I'm gone

So when the day comes and
The sun won't touch my face
Tell the ones who cared...

    On an interview on YouTube ("The Making of Staind Documentary" 11:22 & 15:16) he said that this song's about a kid fan who wrote a letter to him & had a best friend who committed suicide. The fan's best friend wasn't interested in anything (like music or the Gtr.), but he later bought & learned the Gtr. The kid Played & Sang & Recorded Outside & then Hung himself. When his parents found him his song was playing as a loop. So it was for his parents to remember him playing & singing outside. So, from what he says in the Vid I think this is what the meaning is.

    This song is about a young man who committed suicide by hanging himself. All he wanted was to be remembered when he was gone. Aaron Lewis
    Really hit the mark with this song tribute. It's a beautiful, but sad song. Inspired and written for a young man who felt he could no longer go on in this cold, cruel world.

    i think this song is about someone who is closing a chapter of their life. moving forward onto a new path. feeling as if no one really cared, but thinks a few may miss them when they are gone. not just metaphorically speaking, but literally speaking as in death. it speaks to me of relocation, heartbreak, and mistakes. i think it is a beautiful song. it states that "when the day comes when the light doesn't touch my face, tell the one who care enough that i've finally left this place that's been so cold". cold in the sense that noone was around, noone cared, and it was time to accept it, and move on. from a location, a relationship, and family. in the end the judge and jury will be God.

    This song reminds me about my friend who committed suicide. He had so much to live for, always gave his wealth and was a great guy. But, I think he had more in his life that he wasnt happy about. He didnt leave any type of note but some of us knew that he wasnt content. Everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of him and he left everyone wondering why he did it.

    My younger sister,and my only child, my precious son Died 6 mths apart,from a long term drug addiction , lost their battles , her: Aug 2020, my son: march 2021. This Song is either their last tribute to me, I feel their pain and suffering every time I hear the song. Or maybe it's for me. I understand my son and my sister's addiction way better now because now that I have nobody left the pain is so bad in life seems so unfair that I don't know how to live or what to do anymore.I'm obsessed with this song. I think whoever wrote this song and experienced it perhaps, was a very hurt person most of their life and I can relate. thank you for the song That some of us lived and felt.

    My husband of 24 yrs sent this to me, regarding his feelings. He filed for divorce. Is this to say goodbye?

    I know my granddaughters will play this at my memorial on my last day on earth... They are 7 & 10 right now but they so understand me.. I am so blessed to have them in my life right now.. They understand my feelings for the music I love

    I think it might be about a veteran with ptsd who is dying and will finally be relieved of his pain and bitter memories.
    Or something else but I do think it is something about someone dying

    I think the writer wants us to remember something when they are gone.

    Clearly this song was Aaron Lewis way of saying farewell to Staind and their fans as he "say goodbye to this chapter of 'his' ever-changing life".

    when he says "tell the ones who cared enough that i've finally left this place" i interpret that as the ones that have seen me struggle can be happy for me that i no longer am burned by life, I'm at peace, I'm finally at rest.

    Story of my fucking ever changing life that continues as the world grows colder and colder and my life seems to be getting dimmer and dimmer until i cannot see it and go on anymore. To many failed relationships, didn't even kno my real mom. To feel less loved then the rest of my family.To have a huge heart that gets stepped on every fucking day of my life that people take for granted.Living in constant fear am i going to make it through 1 more ever changing day of my addicted sick cruel life, wanting to b remembered 4 something good i did in my life or feel like i was part of something.Every woman i ever known or tried to get with would always look past me and never see the kind of heart i really had even if it bit them in the ass or face.But All glory to God because hes the 1 in control of my everchanging fast paced life. The problem is my heart is 2 big for these dried up cold people here on this planet that dont give a flying fuck about nothing. So when im gone maybe someone will c the kind of heart that i really had and appreciate me, and remember me when im gone from this world.Lord forgive me for my sins and let me come home to u were i originated from in the first place

    For me, this song is about me closing the chapter of my life as an addict. And moving on to a life of recovery.

    Well my interpretation to this song would be.. yes talking about death.. saying that too much is going on and the road is long... that he has been through a lot and the face will show the stories that he cant erase... being that at some point age has kicked in and soon he will be laid to rest..

    It seems like a song that explains how someone is feeling while they are contemplating suicide. The thoughts of some individual feeling down aren't accurately recorded by the individual and are better recognized and portrayed by an outside person.

    I heard that a kid committed suicide, recorded this song right before he hung himself and played it on replay, then the kid's best friend sent it in to have staind remake it.
