Never made it as a wise man
현명한 사람처럼 굴진 못했지
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
가난한 자의 빵을 훔치는듯한 절박함도 없었어
Tired of living like a blind man
장님처럼 살기도 지쳤어
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
모든걸 무감각하게 보는 것도 이젠 지긋지긋해
And this is how you remind me
그리고 이것이 네가 날 일깨워주는 방식이지
This is how you remind me
이것이 까맣게 잊고 있었던 날 일깨워주는 방법이야
Of what I really am
내가 정말 누구인가를
This is how you remind me
이게 네가 날 깨우쳐주는 방식이야
Of what I really am
내가 원래 누구였는지를
It's not like you to say sorry
미안하다 말하는 건 너답지 않아
I was waiting on a different story
난 다른 이야기를 기다리고 있었단 말이야
This time I'm mistaken
이번엔 내가 오해받았어
for handing you a heart worth breaking
내가 잘못한 듯, 네 마음을 찢어놓은 듯 오해받았어
and I've been wrong, i've been down
난 안좋은 상태였어, 난 가라앉아 있었지
been to the bottom of every bottle
모든 병들의 바닥에까지 가있었어
these five words in my head
내 머릿속에서 맴도는 이 다섯마디의 말이
scream "are we having fun yet?"
소리질러 "우리 아직 장난치고 있는거 맞지?"
yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
그래, 그래, 그래, 아냐, 아니지
it's not like you didn't know that
그걸 몰랐다는건 너답지 않아
I said I love you and I swear I still do
사랑한다 말했었고 맹세컨데 아직도 난 널 사랑해
And it must have been so bad
그리고 아마 그건 정말 힘들었을꺼야
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
나와 함께 산다는 건 거의 널 죽일뻔 했으니까
And this is how, you remind me
그래 이게 네가 날 기억하게 하는 방식이지
Of what I really am
내가 원래 누군가를
This is how, you remind me
이게 잊었던 날 깨닫게 만드는 방식
Of what I really am
정말 내가 어떤 놈인가를 깨닫게 만드는
It's not like you to say sorry
미안하다고 말하는 건 너답지 않아
I was waiting on a different story
난 다른 얘기를 기다리고 있었어
This time I'm mistaken
이번엔 내가 오해받았어
for handing you a heart worth breaking
마치 내가 네 가슴을 찢어 놓은듯이
and I've been wrong, i've been down
그후로 난 상태 안좋았었어, 밑바닥을 기었지
been to the bottom of every bottle
모든 병들의 밑바닥을 기었어
these five words in my head
머릿속에서 이 다섯 마디의 말이
scream "are we having fun yet?"
소리지르고 있어 "우리 아직 장난치고 있는거 맞지?"
yet, yet, yet, no, no
아직, 아직, 아직, 아니, 아니지
Never made it as a wise man
현명한 사람처럼 굴진 못했지
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
가난한 자가 빵을 훔치는듯한 절박함도 없었어
And this is how you remind me
그리고 이것이 네가 날 일깨워주는 방식이지
This is how you remind me
이것이 까맣게 잊고 있었던 날 일깨워주는 방법이야
This is how you remind me
이게 네가 날 깨닫게하는 방식이야
Of what I really am
내가 원래 누구인지를
This is how you remind me
이게 네가 날 깨우쳐주는 방식이야
Of what I really am
내가 원래 누구였는가를
It's not like you to say sorry
미안하다고 말하는 건 너답지 않아
I was waiting on a different story
난 다른 이야기를 기다리고 있었어
This time I'm mistaken
이번엔 내가 오해받았어
for handing you a heart worth breaking
마치 내가 네 가슴을 찢어 놓은듯이
and I've been wrong, i've been down
난 안좋은 상태였어, 밑바닥을 기었지
been to the bottom of every bottle
모든 병들의 밑바닥을 기어다녔어
these five words in my head
머릿속에서 맴도는 이 다섯 마디의 말이
scream "are we having fun yet?"
외쳐 "우리 아직 장난치고 있는거 맞지?"
yet, yet
맞지? 맞지?
are we having fun yet
이거 다 장난인거지
"How You Remind Me" is the first single from rock band Nickelback's 2001 album, Silver Side Up. A "Gold Mix" was made for latter editions of the single with the heavier guitars edited out of the chorus. This single would be the last rock single to be #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until Maroon 5's song Makes Me Wonder went to #1 six years later.
Chart performances and awards
The single was also released in that year, reaching the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart for 4 weeks (the last rock band to do so for the next six years, until Maroon 5's Makes Me Wonder topped the chart) while it topped both the Mainstream and Modern Rock charts for 13 weeks. Outside the U.S., the song became a worldwide hit, it was #4 on the UK Singles Chart, and #1 on the Irish Singles Chart. Due to the high sales, it was ranked as the top single of 2001 by Billboard magazine. In the UK, although not reaching the dizzy heights of #1 in the charts, "How You Remind Me" stayed in the singles chart top 20 for 3 months. Although two other singles followed from Silver Side Up, ("Too Bad", "Never Again"), they were very minor hits. This shows how successful a single "How You Remind Me" was, since the 6 million copies of Silver Side Up sold in the U.S., as well as around 10 million copies sold worldwide can be nearly single handedly credited to "How You Remind Me".
The song went on to rack up four Grammy Award nominations, four Billboard Awards, four Juno awards, and countless radio accreditations. "How You Remind Me" was the #1 Most Played Song of 2002 in the United States, across all formats, according to Billboard Monitor.
"How You Remind Me" was the #1 song on the Billboard's 2002 Year-End Hot 100 Singles Chart, Hot 100 Airplay Track Chart and Hot Top 40 Track.
VH1 ranked the song as the 16th Greatest Power Ballad.[2]
