The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Don't Forget Me" by the artist "Way Out West"

In the song "Don't Forget Me" by Way Out West, the lyrical hero stands on the threshold of death or some other fateful parting. He addresses the one he loves with a plea to remember him and their love.

The repeated phrase "I just need to [say/feel/hear/see] one thing" emphasizes the importance of this last request, this last wish of the hero. He wants to be remembered, not to be mourned, suspected of insincerity, or forgotten.

The lines "The memory of this still reminds me of you… And in it you will find me" speak to the fact that memories are the only thing that will remain after him, and he hopes that his beloved will find him in these memories.

The phrase "Living in the clouds" characterizes the addressee of the song, perhaps as dreamy, not always seeing reality for what it is. The question "Did you even try to understand?" is addressed to her, perhaps with a reproach that she could not or did not want to understand the depth of his feelings.

The repetition of the verses and chorus at the end of the song reinforces the hero's plea, making it even more poignant and desperate.
