I just rewatched it last night and I started humming the melody to this song and it clicked in my head. There's a part where the main character (Leonard) is burning his dead wife's stuff and he says "It's funny, I have to remember to forget you." That's just like one of the refrains ("remember more that you'd like to forget"). Also, Leonard had to use photographs to know anything about his life after he lost his ability to have short-term memory or make new memories ("this photograph is proof"). Photograph's were his only proof that he knew anything at all.
Thus, this entire song could be about how Leonard talks to the unknown man on the phone (b+w scenes) and he describes everything that's happened to him over and over again.
Has anyone seen the movie Memento?
