Now he'll never know what could have happened with the relationship if he didn't leave for England. Now everywhere he goes back home reminds him of the lost love.

Röyksopp – Remind Me Lyrics 1 year ago
Song is about a man coming home from living abroad in England and everything reminding him of the love he left. Thinking what would life have been like if I'd stayed with her instead.

Song breakdown

It's only been a week
the rush of being home is rapid fading
Failing to recall what I was missing all that time in England.
(He has returned from living overseas and now that he's been home for a week he can't remember what he was missing about home)

Has sent me aimlessly
unfettered by the lack of transportation
to knock on windows where
a friend no longer live, I had forgotten
(He has walked to visit one of his friends, likely the ex, but she no longer lives there.)

And everywhere I go
there's always something to remind me
of another place and time
Where love that travelled far had found me
(Everywhere he goes there's something that reminds him of his ex, who travelled to England to visit him while he was living there)

We stayed outside till two
waiting for the light to come back
We didn't talk I knew
until you asked what I was thinking
until you asked what I was thinking
(They stayed outside till 2am but didn't talk about the relationship status, because she didn't say anything about it he knew she had moved on. She asked him what he was thinking, he was thinking is the relationship over? )

brave men tell the truth
the wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles
a woman holds her tongue
knowing silence will speak for her
(A brave man would tell the truth and ask if she had moved on and risk having his heart crushed, a wise man would use an analogue to get the answer from her without asking directly, but he knows that her not talking about it means it's over.)


So now I'll never know,
As you will only sleep beside me,
And everywhere I go
Will remind, will remind, will remind me
(Now he'll never know what could have happened with the relationship if he hadn't left to live in England. She will only sleep beside him not with him while visiting England so he knows it's definitely over. Now everywhere he goes back home reminds him of the lost love.)
