The song "Do You Remember?" by John Nolan seems to depict a scene of chaos and destruction. The lyrics suggest that the narrator finds solace and refuge in a bunker in the basement, while an unknown event is taking place upstairs. The people upstairs celebrate and express their intent to send everyone to hell. It is unclear what has led to this situation, but it appears that the people involved believe they brought it upon themselves. There is mention of an altar built to the saints, seemingly symbolizing some form of worship or reverence. However, it is revealed that these saints ultimately suffocate slowly, implying that this act of devotion is damaging or even destructive. The song also mentions men in masks holding stones and speaking in tongues, which suggests a sense of mob violence or aggression towards the narrator. The repeated question of whether the listener remembers may indicate a desire for reflection or introspection on past actions or events. In the end, the lyrics suggest a cycle of destruction and rebuilding. The line "We'll burn this to the ground, we'll do it all again" suggests that despite the consequences, there is a willingness to perpetuate this destructive cycle. While the meaning of the song may be open to interpretation, it seems to explore themes of chaos, guilt, worship gone wrong, and the tendency for humanity to repeat destructive patterns.
