Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as
A poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without
A sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet
Yet, yet, yet, no no
Yet, yet, yet, no no
It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and
I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
'Cause living with him must have
Damn near killed you
And this is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet
Yet, yet, yet, no no
Yet, yet, yet, no no
Yet, yet, yet, no no
Yet, yet, yet, no no
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as
A poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you
A heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong
I've been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet
Yet, yet
Are we having fun yet
Yet, yet
Are we having fun yet
Yet, yet
Are we having fun yet
Yet, yet, no, no
The song "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback is a reflection on past mistakes and regrets in a relationship. The lyrics describe the feeling of being lost and disillusioned, of being unable to connect to one's emotions and to the world around them. The opening lines, "Never made it as a wise man, I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing, tired of living like a blind man, I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling," convey a sense of frustration with the singer's current existence. The refrain, "This is how you remind me of what I really am," highlights the importance of this relationship and how it has helped the singer to see himself more clearly.
The chorus then goes into a reflection on the past relationship, indicating that the other party has hurt the singer in some way. "It's not like you to say sorry, I was waiting on a different story, this time I'm mistaken, for handing you a heart worth breaking," suggests that the singer did not expect to be hurt, and that they feel like they made a mistake in giving too much of themselves to the other person. The line "I've been down into the bottom of every bottle, these five words in my head scream, are we having fun yet" suggests that the singer has been drinking to cope with the pain of the relationship and is questioning the point of it all.
Overall, the song captures a moment of self-reflection and regret, highlighting the pain that comes from a broken relationship and the importance of understanding oneself. The lyrics are emotional and raw, conveying a sense of vulnerability and honesty that makes them resonate with many listeners.
Never made it as a wise man
I never claimed to be intelligent or knowledgeable enough to succeed in life
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
I didn't have the guts or skill to make it as a thief or criminal
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm exhausted from existing without truly seeing or feeling the world around me
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
I'm tired of only having visual perception but lacking emotional depth and sensitivity
And this is how you remind me
And you show me what I'm truly like
Of what I really am
Of my true nature and essence
It's not like you to say sorry
You don't often apologize
I was waiting on a different story
I expected a different outcome or explanation
This time I'm mistaken
I realize I made a mistake this time
For handing you a heart worth breaking
For giving you my heart even though you would end up hurting me
And I've been wrong, I've been down
I've made mistakes and faced hard times
Into the bottom of every bottle
I've turned to alcohol to cope with my problems
These five words in my head scream
These five words echo in my mind
Are we having fun yet
Am I supposed to be enjoying myself in this situation?
Yet, yet, yet, no no
But the reality is that I'm not having fun
It's not like you didn't know that
You were aware of the fact that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
I declared my love for you and I still mean it
And it must have been so bad
It must have been really terrible
Cause living with him must have damn near killed you
Because being with your previous partner was almost the death of you
Yet, yet, yet, no no
But despite everything
This is how you remind me of what I really am
You bring me back to reality and show me my true self
