I am determined to forget certain things, I will forget them completely.
This is a song lyrics by Faye Wang called 约定, she is a popular Chinese pop singer. Here is the full lyrics:
"忘掉天地彷佛也想不起自己，仍未忘相约看漫天黄叶远飞，就算会与你分离凄绝的戏，要决心忘记我便记不起"
To understand this completely, we have to combine the lyrics from the contents of the song. This lyrics means that: I can forget everything, even myself and it caused me to lose myself. It seems like there is only you in my world, you occupy everything in my world. Even there is one day that I will forget about you, it will be dramatic of course, but if I do want to forget about you, I will completely forget about you and everything besides you.
So Faye Wang is trying to describe the determined heart by lovers (in this situation is the female or girlfriend). Since the date I love you (boyfriend), I could even lose myself since I am too crazy about this love and you (bf). If we break up I could even go crazy that I would not even recognise and be afraid of myself. So I have to forget about you before the part where we have to be separated.

Oh wait
He does want that(?)
raw carbon
Ughhh so thanks for your detailed response! I get like what the song is talking about now, but I still find the sentence a little bit hard to understand
Here one second
snow depot
Faye Wang is girl. She is describing the situation in the perspective of woman.
raw carbon
Ohh
snow depot
Better way to describe it is:
After all the times we had been together, it was a remarkable and unforgettable memories. But I (the gf) couldn’t lose you (the bf), because if I lose you (the bf) I will lose my mind. Instead of experiencing the sad time after breaking up, I am going to forget about you now and never recall it again.

忘掉天地仿佛也想不起自己
仍未忘相约看漫天黄叶远飞
就算会与你分离 凄绝的戏
要决心忘记我便记不起
明日天地 只恐怕认不出自己
Even if I forget everything, I still can't seem to remember myself
Still haven't forgotten our rendez-vous - we planned to go see the yellow leaves floating in the sky
So even if I be separated from you, this miserable scene. If you (is this you or I?) decide to forget, I won't remember the world of tomorrow.
I'm only afraid I can't recognize myself
raw carbon
After all the times we had been together, it was a remarkable and unforgettable ...
Oh what 😭😭
That's so crazy

Remove the last lyrics then it’s a complete story.

Here's the song on Spotify
snow depot
two seperate groups
raw carbon
hm okay
snow depot
one is 副歌 part 1 one is part 2
raw carbon
我便記不起你？？？？
snow depot
约定这首歌 is very hard to understand if your first language is not Chinese tho.
raw carbon
wait okay so why is there a 就算 in the 就算會與你分離 then
raw carbon
如果我决心忘记， 我便记不起(你)
Ah okay that makes sense
snow depot
Ah okay that makes sense
Of course mate
raw carbon
就算相當於even嗎
那為啥要說
就算你肯能會離我而去
我要決心忘記，我便記不起
感覺跟據你之前的解釋
It should be smth like 因為 ur gonna leave, I wanna forget u
snow depot
wait okay so why is there a 就算 in the 就算會與你分離 then
就算 is just a popular chinese saying
it literally means 'even tho'
raw carbon
Even in english I don't understand it 😭
snow depot
Uh.
raw carbon
Even though you are going to leave, I have to forget you ?
snow depot
就算你今天出门，你可能还会回来
raw carbon
Yeah but it's different here right
because
Here ur saying despite XYZ I will continue doing what I planned on doing
snow depot
Don’t try to dig into the meaning between every word. You have to understand it in between context.
raw carbon
but when we say 就算你離開了，我會忘記你 or smth it sounds like
U were tryna forgot them already?
raw carbon
Doesn't the 就算 give an impression that it's an obstacle to u do doing smth but ur still gonna do it?
我本來就想把你忘掉。就算你要離開了，我依然是想把你忘掉.
This impression (?)
snow depot
It sounds more like: if I have made a decision to forget you, I am going to forget you. (But I haven’t made the decision YET)
I will or maybe make the decision to forget you, because I don’t know whether I (singer) want to forget about you( boyfriend)
raw carbon
okay lemme think
snow depot
Sure sure, lmk if you still need my help. But try to understand the meaning in between context rather than literal meaning
raw carbon
i get the context i j like it when I understand everything 😭
snow depot
It’s hard to understand if you literally try to understand the literal meaning rather than figurative
raw carbon
I will or maybe make the decision to forget you, because I don’t know whether I ...
So 要決心忘記 = 要決心忘記的話？
snow depot
So 要決心忘記 = 要決心忘記的話？
你是想问这两句话是一样的吗？
raw carbon
若想忘记，我是可以的
snow depot
对对对差不多
raw carbon
你是想问这两句话是一样的吗？

snow depot
你对于一句话可以有无数的联想，才能证明这个歌词是颇有兴趣的，是很美丽的歌词
raw carbon
平时听歌时我不会去仔细的听歌词😂

有点像诗

夜曲 - 周杰伦
当鸽子不再象征和平
我终于被提醒 广场上喂食的是秃鹰
我用漂亮的押韵 形容被掠夺一空的爱情

有点像诗
你说的很对
如愿 - 王菲 Faye Wang
而我将 爱你所爱的人间
愿你所愿的笑颜
你的手我蹒跚在牵
请带我去明天
如果说 你曾苦过我的甜
我愿活成你的愿
愿不枉啊 愿勇往啊
这盛世每一天

但是有的時候感覺歌詞是為了好聽而寫的 完全沒有意義
snow depot
我建议你去听一首特别难理解的歌曲，现在暂时没有人给一个正确的解释，因为那首歌有无数个解释办法
snow depot
但是有的時候感覺歌詞是為了好聽而寫的 完全沒有意義
