For My Crimes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When they take me down the corridor
They secure my wrist with ties
I'll be tracing the outline
Of your body next to mine
[Verse 2]
I've done terrible things
Cold and careless lies
You can watch behind the glass as I
Pass through serpentine
[Chorus]
Please don't remember me
Please don't remember me
Please don't remember me for my crimes
[Verse 3]
When they take me down the corridor
I remember the old chorus line
When we were young, you used to tint your lips
And cheeks red with wine
[Chorus]
Please don't remember me
Please don't remember me
Please don't remember me for my crimes
[Outro]
For my crimes
For my crimes
For my crimes
For my crimes
When they take me down the corridor
They secure my wrist with ties
I'll be tracing the outline
Of your body next to mine
I've done terrible things
Cold and careless lies
You can watch behind the glass as I
Pass through serpentine
Please don't remember me
Please don't remember me
Please don't remember me for my crimes
When they take me down the corridor
I remember the old chorus line
When we were young, you used to tint your lips
And cheeks red with wine
Please don't remember me
Please don't remember me
Please don't remember me for my crimes
For my crimes
For my crimes
For my crimes
For my crimes

The main character of this song is being executed.
They're with someone else. Maybe they really have committed these "crimes", or they're just labeled as crimes by society.
After all the years they lived, they don't just want to be remembered as perpetrators, no matter how horrible their crimes may have been.
It's a last cry for forgiveness.
The song makes me think of "I am legend" by Richard Matheson.
