We Remain Lyrics
All the ways that you think you know me
All the limits that you figure out, limits that you figure out
Had to learn to keep it all below me
Just to keep from being thrown around, just to keep from being thrown around
Every single time the wind blows
Every single time the wind blows
I see it in your face (Ohh)
In a cold night
There will be no fair fight
There will be no good night
To turn and walk away
So burn me with fire
Drown me with rain
I'm gonna wake up
Screaming your name
Yes I'm a sinner
Yes I'm a saint
Whatever happens here
Whatever happens here
We remain
Now we talk about a wasted future
But we take a good look around
Yeah we take a good look around
Yeah we know it, it hasn't been for nothing
'Cause we'll never let it slow us down
No we'll never let it slow us down
(Oh yeah)
Every single time the wind blows
Every single time the wind blows
I see it in your face (Ohh)
In a cold night
There will be no fair fight
There will be no good night
To turn and walk away
To burn me with fire
Drown me with rain
I'm gonna wake up
Screaming your name
Yes I'm a sinner
Yes I'm a saint
Whatever happens here
Whatever happens here
We remain
We remain, we remain
Burn me with fire
Drown me with rain
I'm gonna wake up
Screaming your name
Yes I'm a sinner
Yes I'm a saint
Whatever happens here
Whatever happens here
We remain
All the limits that you figure out, limits that you figure out
Had to learn to keep it all below me
Just to keep from being thrown around, just to keep from being thrown around
Every single time the wind blows
I see it in your face (Ohh)
There will be no fair fight
There will be no good night
To turn and walk away
Drown me with rain
I'm gonna wake up
Screaming your name
Yes I'm a saint
Whatever happens here
Whatever happens here
We remain
But we take a good look around
Yeah we take a good look around
'Cause we'll never let it slow us down
No we'll never let it slow us down
(Oh yeah)
Every single time the wind blows
I see it in your face (Ohh)
There will be no fair fight
There will be no good night
To turn and walk away
Drown me with rain
I'm gonna wake up
Screaming your name
Yes I'm a saint
Whatever happens here
Whatever happens here
We remain
Drown me with rain
I'm gonna wake up
Screaming your name
Yes I'm a saint
Whatever happens here
Whatever happens here
We remain

*my interpretation of this lyrics ^ I think it is Katniss feeling the presence of the ones who have died like rue.
In a cold night There will be no fair fight There will be no goodbye To turn and walk away
*my interpretation of this lyrics ^ I think Katniss is fighting with the memories of the games in her sleep. She can't say goodbye to the people that she killed. they continue to haunt her dreams. a restless night sleep.
So burn me with fire Drown me with rain I'm gonna wake up Screaming your name
*my interpretation of this lyrics ^ I think it means that it doesn't matter what they do to her the dead will continue to haunt her. she is gonna wake up screaming their names. I think this might mostly be in reference to rue
Yes I'm a sinner Yes I'm a saint Whatever happens here Whatever happens here We remain
*my interpretation of this lyrics ^ Here Katniss is saying that she has done both good and bad and that what you do in the games remains with you. It changes you.
I think this song is about standing up under oppression. It could be someone who was a societal reformer who worked to fix a broken system. As this song was on the Catching Fire Soundtrack, I think it's easy to relate this to Katniss saying this to President Snow. But I think it works for others who fight for revolution. It could relate to Nelson Mandela who fought Apartheid. He "remained" in spite of everything the oppressive government tried to do to him. They thought they could silence his movement. But they were wrong. RIP Nelson Mandela.
