Amazed
♫ The Offspring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause everyone around's so hollow
I'm alone
Sometimes I think I'm going down
But no one makes a sound
They follow
And I'm alone
Just to find tomorrow
One more day and I'd be amazed
Just to see it waiting
And if I make it I'm still alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change
Then I'd really be amazed
And when you know you can't relate
To one more shiny face
Your heart breaks
No one cares
And when you know you can't go on
'Cause everything is wrong
Your heart breaks
But no one's there
In The Offspring's song "Amazed," the lyrics describe the feeling of isolation and despair that can come from feeling disconnected from those around you. The singer feels as though they are drowning in a sea of hollow, emotionless people who don't understand them. Despite their loneliness and despair, the singer holds out a small sliver of hope that they might find a sense of purpose and meaning in the future.
The verses of the song paint a vivid picture of the singer's feelings of isolation and hopelessness. The repetition of the phrase "I'm alone" drives home the sense of disconnection that the singer feels from those around them. But the song's chorus offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer expresses amazement that they might find a way to make it through another day. The chorus also highlights the contrast between the singer's feelings of isolation and a desire for positive change.
