LINGERIE
Alanna Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I wake up,
Without you here,
Without your eyes in my mind,
My very own hydrosphere,
O-o-oh,
I don't really care bout what you did to me,
Maybe your mind is just too shrewd for you to see,
That you eliminated me from your galaxy.
It's not like I'd swim the nile,
Just to see your smile,
Maybe that last part was a bit of a lie...

I start a brand new day,
Go out and buy some s*** lingerie,
Try to drown your memory in lace,
To the one whose took your place.
I go to quickly check your horoscope,
Just enough today for some false hope,
All the soap in the world won't wash you away.
I go to bed, dream of your face,
It's fricking impossible to erase,
So I try to drown your memory in lace.

Well, My heart's in,
The guillotine,
Now that I know (that I know),
What you think of me,
Cuibono was it that you made your final declaration,
In response to their delegations,
And then decided to edit me from your galaxy.
I wouldn't walk the Sahara,
I've gotten rid of my dementia,
Okay so I'm still a bit of a fool,
Fool yeah yeah yeah

I start a brand new day,
Go out and buy some s*** lingerie,
Try to drown your memory in lace,
To the one whose took your place.
I go to quickly check your horoscope,
Just enough today for some false hope,
All the soap in the world won't wash you away.
I go to bed, dream of your face,
It's fricking impossible to erase,
So I try to drown your memory in lace.

I wouldn't walk the Sahara,
I've gotten rid of my dementia,
Okay so I'm still a bit of a fool,
Fool yeah yeah yeah

I start a brand new day,
Go out and buy some s*** lingerie,
Try to drown your memory in lace,
To the one whose took your place.
I go to quickly check your horoscope,
Just enough today for some false hope,
All the soap in the world won't wash you away.
I go to bed, dream of your face,
It's fricking impossible to erase (Go away!)
So I try to drown your memory in lace.





I'm trying, Your memory in lace
I try to drown your memory in lace

Overall Meaning

This song by Alanna Wilson called Lingerie speaks to the pain of heartbreak, separation and the challenge of moving on. The singer wakes up alone without her lover, feeling like the world is devoid of color and light.

She realizes that she is not strong enough to endure the pain of loving him and decides to distract herself by indulging in buying sexy lingerie. She hopes that by losing herself in thoughts of seduction, she can forget about him and wash away memories of him with soap or drown them under lacy garments. Unfortunately, she finds it impossible to erase him from her mind and ends up dreaming about him every night.


The song's message reflects a struggle that many people experience following a breakup or separation.
