Aravind Cse"Ever since I can remember" which means what?
Your sentence doesn't sound right to my ear. Perhaps you need to provide more context. Evert since- suggest looking back in time when something happened. For example: Ever since I quit smoking, I've gained 10 pounds.
Here's how I see it.
The basic idea is 'all the time since something happened'.
eg Ever since I moved to Canada, I have lived in Montreal.
The starting event is that I moved.
eg "Ever since I can remember, I have lived in Montreal."
The starting event is that I became old enough to remember things.

Aravind Cse"Ever since I can remember" which means what?
That is almost an idiomatic expression because "since" is nonsense in the context, taken literally. It means "as far back as my recollection extends" with more than a hint of hyperbole.
