Song lyrics

Send "Don't Forget Me" ringtones to your cell

I'm an ocean in your bedroom 
Make you feel warm 
Make you want to re-assume 
Now we know it all for sure 

I'm a dance hall dirty breakbeat 
Make the snow fall 
Up from underneath your feet 
Not alone, I'll be there 
Tell me when you want to go 

I'm a meth lab first rehab 
Take it all off 
And step inside the running cab 
There's a love that knows the way 

I'm the rainbow in your jail cell 
All the memories of 
Everything you've ever smelled 
Not alone, I'll be there 
Tell me when you want to go 

(backround) 
Sideways falling 
More will be revealed my friend 

Oooooooooh 
Don't forget me 
I can't hide it 
Come again get me exited 

I'm an inbred and a pothead 
Two legs that you spread 
Inside the tool shed 
Now we know it all for sure 

I could show you 
To the free field 
Overcome and more 
Will always be revealed 
Not alone, I'll be there 
Tell me when you want to go 

(backround) 
Sideways falling 
More will be revealed my friend 

Ooooooooh and 
Don't forget me 
I can't hide it 
Come again get me excited 

(backround) 
Sideways falling 
More will be revealed my friend 

Ooooooooh and 
Don't forget me 
I can't hide it 
There's a match now let me light it 

I'm the bloodstain 
On your shirt sleeve 
Coming down and more are coming to believe 
Now we know it all for sure 

Make the hair stand 
Up on your arm 
Teach you how to dance 
Inside the funny farm 
Not alone, I'll be there 
Tell me when you want to go 

I'll be there 
Tell me when you wanna go 
Come again and 
Tell me when you want to go 
More will be revealed my friend

2 posts	anyone got any thoughts about the meaning of this song? english isn't so my primary language, so i may have misunderstood something, but don't he describe himself (in words, plainly) ? he describes himself , first as something unusual and maby positive. then he starts about power and possibileties. at last he describes himself as something dark and maby horrible. through the whole song there is "don't forget me i can't hide it / come again make me exited" it sounds like a lover to me. there is also the lines "Not alone, I'll be there / Tell me when you want to go" they seem like "hi, i am the devil and i would gladly acompany you 'till you sell my soul to me" i'ts a weird song, but i'ts still cool like few others!

43 posts	the lyrics are very hard to understand. its about him, and how he is speaking to a higher source of energy, not saying it is God, but it a source of energy that doesnt leave your side when you are in despare , when times are tough. I read this in one of their books.

187 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song. There was a time, where I listened to the version on live in hyde park every night before I fell asleep. And everytime near the end of the song where it all gets really loud I would just feel like crying, because it was so emotional. And then when it ended I would feel kind of worn out, exhausted and almost empty - like the song had me relive every emotion I'd felt during the day.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I read somewhere that in an interview Anthony said it was about God. And it really does fit if you think about it. I'm an ocean in your bedroom Make you feel warm Make you want to re-assume Now we know it all for sure --- Most likely aimed at a believer. The ocean is a beautiful thing. That warm feeling is God inside. And re-assume could mean keep going back to Church? And they're sure that God exists. I'm a dance hall dirty breakbeat Make the snow fall Up from underneath your feet Not alone, I'll be there Tell me when you want to go --- God is control of nature. You're never alone because he is always there. 'Tell me when you want to go' could mean tell him when you want to leave earth and come to Heaven. I'm a meth lab first rehab Take it all off And step inside the running cab There's a love that knows the way --- Now we're starting to get into how God is there, no matter how much you sin. I think this verse is about a drug addict/drug dealer. I'm the rainbow in your jail cell All the memories of Everything you've ever smelled Not alone, I'll be there Tell me when you want to go --- 'I'm the rainbow in your jail cell' so many people find God in prison, therfore he's the rainbow. Everything they've ever smelled is God, because eh is everything. 'Not alone, I'll be there' he's always going to be there for that person. Sideways falling More will be revealed my friend Don't forget me I can't hide it Come again make me excited --- Sideways falling is possibly a reference to dying, and more will be revealed when they die. Everybody's really confused about religion, aren't they? But if they die and go to Heaven, everything will be revealed. And God doesn't want everybody to forget it. 'Come again make me excited' could mean going to Church, and that makes God happy because they're there praising him. (Not that you have to go to Church to believe in God) So it could just be praying to him. I'm an inbred and a pothead Two legs that you spread Inside the tool shed Now we know it all for sure --- Again, God is in everybody, good or bad. I could show you To the free field Overcome and more Will always be revealed Not alone, I'll be there Tell me when you want to go --- This is obviously about Heaven, especially 'the free field' part, God can show you a great place if you come and join him. I'm the bloodstain On your shirt sleeve Coming down and more are coming to believe Now we know it all for sure --- 'I'm the bloodstain on your shirt sleeve' is most likely directed at none believers, God's just that annoying bloodstain that they can't make go away. 'Coming down and more are coming to believe' I guess this about more people becoming religious, possibly druggies coming off the drugs and finding religion. Make the hair stand Up on your arm Teach you how to dance Inside the funny farm Not alone, I'll be there Tell me when you want to go --- 'Make the hair stand up on your arm' nothing would be more amazing than feeling God's presence, therefore it would make your hair stand. Of course, there is the possibility people would think you were mental for claiming God has come to you etc. and send you to the 'funny farm'.

2 posts	This song is the best!!I fall asleep to it...... Anyway,I didn't know this song before I saw the red hot chilis on a festival,but when they started playing this song,a right big chill went over my spine.Imagine yourself in this huge crowd at night with only the lights of the stage on, noone lets go of a sound and then you hear the amazing intro of this song,absolute bliss I can tell you,hearing this song always brings me right back there

7 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Hearing this song live in April this year made my friends decide to form a band instead of just covering random songs with each other. This is their first proper cover played at a gig and they rocked. Makes me all happy inside when I listen to it haha.
