Imagination
Amanda Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get lost in the moment ‘till you pat me on the back
Through the window of my heart, I can see a brand new start
Will you tell me what awaits us in the summer this year, Mr. Future?
Oh come on come on come on, as long there's a chance
Oh come on come on come on, we'll unite oh
But don't give in, don't let it win, brush it off and push on through
Never give up, we can catch up, we will make it or die trying
Turn this imagination into something real and race me to the top oh oh
More than answers in a book, I need a certain kind of hook
Just a spark to inspire the potential in my soul
Something wow and whoa, I once felt it long ago
And I'd give all a hundred percent of my life for one more, Mr. Future
Oh hello hello hello, can you not hear my cry?
Oh hello hello hello, answer oh
If I stumble, take a tumble, go ahead, serve me another
And if I fall, I'll give it my all ‘cause the fall is half the fight
Never give up, we can catch up, can we run like this forever?
In this imagination we're horizon bound so race me to the top oh oh
In the wake of bitter failure, a new hope became our savior
I swear we will swallow down that bitter taste soon baby
And taste sweet victory
There will always be a strong haze that will try and block tomorrow
But don't give in, don't let it win, brush it off and push on through
Never give up, we can catch up, we will make it or die trying
Turn this imagination into something real and race me to the top oh oh
Ah, will you race me to the top?
The lyrics to Amanda Lee's song "Imagination" speak to the power of positive thinking and the importance of persevering through hardship. The opening lines describe a stifling heat and heart palpitations, suggesting a sense of feeling overwhelmed or stuck. However, the mood shifts as the singer begins to look towards the future with optimism. She describes peering through the "window of [her] heart" and seeing a new beginning. She implores "Mr. Future" to reveal what lies ahead in the coming summer, suggesting a desire for guidance and reassurance.
The chorus emphasizes the need to push forward despite obstacles. The singer urges herself to keep going, to unite with others who share her vision, and to turn her imagination into reality. She acknowledges the challenges that lie ahead but believes that with dedication and hard work, she can reach the top.
The second verse underscores the idea that success requires more than just book smarts; it also requires inspiration and passion. The singer seeks a "hook" to ignite her creative spark and recalls feeling such inspiration in the past. She expresses a willingness to give her all for the chance to experience that feeling again. The chorus is repeated, driving home the message of perseverance, before the final lines express a belief in the power of hope and the potential for victory.

@LeeandLie
The next person to post about MP3 converters will be blocked. No tolerance. I completely understand that these things happen -- that I can't stop you from illegally downloading your music and that not everyone can afford to purchase music -- that's fine -- It's not fine, but I get it -- but I don't want to hear about it. Please don't post about it here, that's all I'm asking. It's really insensitive to not only me, but every artist who pours their heart and soul into their music. I also find it funny that people are perfectly fine with paying $4 for a cup of coffee but not $1 for a song to support an artist they like. Also, the quality exported from those MP3 converter websites is horrendous. You're completely stripping away the time and effort we put into this cover to make the quality beautiful ... Which hurts my heart :(But if you can stand listening to 1/10th of the quality, power to you.
@joshie1761
I think we all agree with you... (Why not just pay the money it can really benefit the artist.) If you pay the money then you support music you like and get to hear more of it due to the artist increase in pay. Good for you for standing up for yourself.
@OfficialHiddentest
🙏 You tell them
@blair3nova
I agree with you. I'll use pandora, youtube, and spotify to listen to music and see new stuff. I'm fine with dealing with ads because it means I don't have to pay every time I want to hear a new song to see if I even like it. After that point, if I really like the artist I'll buy their music and show my support. Not paying just means I have to deal with ads and I'm totally fine with that.
@fakedlie123
Ignore them.....>w<
