Amnesia
A Fallen Dream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starting right where I left off, from when I was just a kid
This is where I got my start, and where my life began to change
Now that I'm back in this business I'll make sure you remember my name
I knew where I was going, just didn't know it would be this far
Life is strange, you never know when it will take that turn
Life is strange, you better be ready for anything
I did what ever I had to make this happen for me and my family
And I'll never take it back
So give me your best shot
And make sure you don't miss it
The road to the top is all part of burning bridges
This band has come so far, and we've barely scratched the surface
We are here to stay and haven't even started
Who would have thought that 5 years later, I'd be back at it again
Starting right where I left off, from when I was just a kid
This is where I got my start, and where my life began to change
Now that I'm back in this business I'll make sure you remember
That I made the best out of every situation, never let the odds stack against me
I did what ever I had to make this happen for me and my family
The lyrics of A Fallen Dream's "Amnesia" speak about the unexpected things that happen in life and how it affects one's direction. The singer reflects on returning to his musical career after five years and how he is back where he left off as a kid. He acknowledges how the journey thus far was full of surprises and that life is unpredictable. However, he also takes pride in the fact that he made the best of every situation and never let the odds stack against him. Now that he is back in the industry, he wants to make sure that he is remembered, and he is willing to work hard to achieve that.
The song tries to inspire hope in people that life can turn around for the better when things seem hopeless. The singer's return to music is symbolic of a bigger picture, where one can always return to what they love when life takes them on unexpected journeys. The lyrics suggest that the singer is ready to face the challenges that come with the industry's competition head-on. The line, "The road to the top is all part of burning bridges," suggests that he is willing to leave behind those who do not believe in him to achieve his goals.
