Mumford & Sons – Reminder Lyrics 12 years ago
Firstly i feel that most songs tell a story and according to me the story of this song is that---> the singer broke up with his love and now wants to get back together.

"Don’t let me darken your door
It’s not what I came here for
No, it’s not what I came here for"

i feel this is an important part of the song, mainly because i have felt this emotion personally.

the singer feels guilty that he has burdened his partner's life. there is some issue in his life which he cant resolve and now its affecting her ( making her sad or disappointed) maybe something like a drug addiction.

"And I won’t hear you cry when I’m gone
I won’t know if I’m doing you wrong
I never know if I’m doing you wrong"

So, he decides to leave her..bt he is still unsure of his decision.

"You never seen my bleeding heart"

Though he was the one who left her..he still knows that he has a lot of love to give her.

"And your lights always shining on
When I’ve been traveling oh so long
I’ve been traveling oh so long"

He tells here that she is alive in his heart and he has now worked hard at rectifying whatever the problem was with his life (travelling so long).

"A constant reminder of where I can find her
A light that might give up the way
Is all that I’m asking for without her I’m lost
Oh my love, don’t fade away
Oh my love don’t fade away"

Now all he needs is a way back into her heart and life..and he knows that it will take some time for them to get back together, so in the meantime he asks his "love" to not fade away.
