Aliceband Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But still we run in circles
And now it feels like the end
Why don't you just desert us
Like in the desert he could think
And though he couldn't have a drink
I bet he took a little time to think
Like, just because my dad says so
It doesn't make it right you know
And, I have the power in my hands
I have the thought and it makes sense
And though I shouldn't say but
Here we go
I ate this apple a while ago
It looked so sweet and crunchy so
I took a bite and ever since
I had these thoughts that made no sense
Like, I start to see what's right from wrong
Its how I know a song's a song
And singing never felt the world
And singing never felt so good
Oh my Maria
Oh my Maria
I don't really wanna go go go
Go go go
A clever word is loyalty
The strongest thing is family
And yes I promised I would go
Its safer when I'm on my own
I've never been so isolated
Never felt that I could breath
And now I go to show my own
And know that I don't wanna leave
Oh my Maria
Oh my Maria
Oh my Maria
Oh my Maria
I don't really wanna go go go
Go go go
I'm learning now to keep it quiet
I don't want this song to survive
I have no feeling either way
I do not care, so go away
I didn't want to get involved
It's not my fault you were mistold
It's not my fault you chose your way
You chose your life
I'm not afraid
Oh my Maria
Oh my Maria
Oh my Maria
Oh my Maria
Oh my Maria
Oh my Maria
I don't really wanna go go go
Go go go
It seems we fight till the end
But still we run in circles
And now it feels like the end
Why don't you just desert us
I have the power in my hands
I have the thought and it makes sense
And though I shouldn't say but here we go
Oooo
I don't really wanna go go go
Go go go
The lyrics to AlicebanD's song "Maria" seem to be exploring themes of rebellion and independence, as well as a sense of isolation and the desire for freedom. Throughout the song, the singer seems to be reflecting on their own life and the choices they have made, as well as the power they have to shape their own destiny. There is a sense of frustration and anger towards authority figures who try to control their life, with lines like "just because my dad says so, it doesn't make it right you know" and "I'm learning now to keep it quiet, I don't want this song to survive." The repeated refrain of "Oh my Maria" could potentially be a reference to a person or place that represents a sense of safety or escape for the singer. Overall, the lyrics of "Maria" seem to be an exploration of personal agency and the struggle for independence.

It seems we fight till the end
We keep on fighting until everything is over
But still we run in circles
We don't seem to be making any progress, we are still going around in circles
And now it feels like the end
It feels like everything is about to be over
Why don't you just desert us
Why don't you leave us alone and abandon us?
Like in the desert he could think
Just like how someone can be alone in a desert and think about things
And though he couldn't have a drink
Even though he couldn't have anything to drink
I bet he took a little time to think
I'm sure he took some time to think things through
I could have had it all
I had the chance to have everything
Like, just because my dad says so
But just because my dad said it doesn't make it right
It doesn't make it right you know
It's not necessarily right, you know
And, I have the power in my hands
I have the ability to make things happen
I have the thought and it makes sense
I have thought it through and it makes sense to me
And though I shouldn't say but
I shouldn't say this, but
Here we go
I'm going to say it anyway
I ate this apple a while ago
I ate an apple a while back
It looked so sweet and crunchy so
It looked really good, crunchy and sweet
I took a bite and ever since
But since then
I had these thoughts that made no sense
I've been having these nonsensical thoughts
Like, I start to see what's right from wrong
For example, I'm starting to understand what's right and what's wrong
Its how I know a song's a song
And that's how I know when a song is really a song
And singing never felt the world
Singing never felt like the real world
And singing never felt so good
But it also never felt so good
Oh my Maria
Oh my dear Maria

It's not my fault you were mistold

I'm not afraid
But I'm not scared either
