Amanaemonesia
Chairlift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I got a plan for it
With a secret ingredient
And you are infinitely invited
Just leave alone the Geminis
Two of them and four of I's
(And you are infinitely Invited)
No one could not agree (it's unanimously decided)
They've come for you and me (that we're dangerously surrounded)
Their boats are full of flames
They paint the grasses green
Repeating history
They don't say what they mean
Is it amnesia?
Amamaemonesia
Mistaken for magic? (Mistaken for magic.)
Silver hours
Silver hours
Becoming a habit? (Chasing the rabbit.)
Is it amnesia?
Amamaemonesia,
Mistaken for magic? (Mistaken for magic. Mistaken for magic.)
Spacing out in a nook and cranny
It's officially uncanny
It's a fish in a sea of granite
Just leave alone the geminis
Two of them and four of I's
No one could not agree (it's unanimously decided)
They've come for you and me (that we're dangerously surrounded)
Their boats are full of flames
They paint the grasses green
Repeating history
They don't say what they mean
Is it amnesia
Amanaemonesia
Mistaken for magic (Mistaken for magic.)
Silver hours
Silver hours
Becoming a habit (Chasing the rabbit.)
Is it amnesia
Amanaemonesia
Mistaken for magic (Mistaken for magic. Mistaken for magic. Mistaken for magic.)
?
There's a system of symbols that no one will vouch for
Everyone uses, but no one believes
There's a dog in the yard with a manner that's ruff
Yet there's something about you that he understands
The girl at the window, covered in ashes
Smiles grotesquely in the light of the day
Singing in German, a cold summer warning
But I can't remember what I meant to say...
Is it Amanaemonesia
(Mistaken for magic.)
Amanaemonesia, woah
(Chasing the rabbit)
Amanaemonesia
(Mistaken for magic. Mistaken for magic. Mistaken for magic.)
The song "Amanaemonesia" by Chairlift is a combination of pop and indie rock in its sound, but its lyrics have a dreamy, cryptic nature that requires some interpretation. The lyrics "You lost your focus/But I got a plan for it/With a secret ingredient/And you are infinitely invited" seem to suggest that the singer is trying to help someone who has lost their way, and has an idea that they believe will work. The reference to a "secret ingredient" adds a sense of mystery to the song, suggesting that the solution is not something obvious.
The next verse begins with the line "No one could not agree", which sounds like a double negative at first but might mean "Everyone agreed". This would make sense in the context of the following line, which says "They've come for you and me", implying that there is some kind of danger or threat that the singer and the person they are helping are facing together. The lines "Their boats are full of flames/They paint the grasses green/Repeating history/They don't say what they mean" are difficult to interpret literally, but might suggest that the danger or threat is metaphorical or symbolic, rather than physical.
The chorus of the song is perhaps the most memorable part, with the repeated phrase "Is it amnesia?/Amanaemonesia/Mistaken for magic?" providing a catchy hook that is both playful and unsettling. The word "amanaemonesia" is a made-up word that sounds like a combination of "amnesia" and "anemia", but is difficult to define precisely. The repetition of the line "Mistaken for magic" suggests that whatever is happening in the song is not entirely real, but is being perceived as magical or mysterious.
Overall, the lyrics of "Amanaemonesia" are open to interpretation, but create a dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere that is both intriguing and unsettling. The song suggests that the world is full of hidden meanings and secrets, but also that there is a sense of danger or uncertainty lurking beneath the surface.

A girl who has been through tough times and is covered in dirt and ash
Smiles grotesquely in the light of the day
Attempts to put up a happy face despite facing adversity
Singing in German, a cold summer warning
Singing a warning in a cold and ominous tone in the German language
But I can't remember what I meant to say...
Dealing with confusion and forgetfulness
(Mistaken for magic.)
Are we mistaking a false reality for true magic?
Amanaemonesia, woah
Repeating the fictional word to emphasize confusion and forgetfulness
