Amerika
1987 Lyrics

The lyrics to the song "Amerika" by 1987 reflect a sense of longing and separation between two individuals who were once close. The singer describes staying up all night, listening to music and thinking about the person they are addressing. They haven't been able to sleep because they have been searching for this person. The first verse sets the tone of the song, as the singer wonders where this person is now and if they are still in America. They ask if the person can hear the drums, implying a connection to the music they used to share.

In the second verse, the singer hears their songs playing on the radio every day, further highlighting their absence and the impact of their separation. The singer questions if this person is truly happy and living their dream life without them. The repeated chorus asks where they are and if they are still in America, while also pleading for them to hear the singer's call.
