My Song
Amanda Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no curtain call
And there's no point in life at all
If each day ends and this bent heart of mine cannot heal
I can't see a darn thing
But could it be
That the gray clouds that I loved completely blinded me

They're souls like me and you
Who aren't aware of what they do
Always laughing in the face of danger and truth
Can't they see
Right through their hazy glee?
That nothing good comes of rushing in blindly

I'll keep moving on
No matter what may come my way
And I'll sing
Not fearing what they say

Deep in my heart I know for sure
That you are hurt, feel insecure
And surly crying
Because you are only human

These tears of mine are screaming out
"It's not a lie"
And as I cry I want to thank you
For showing me what I could be
I won't let go
I thank you so

Yeah...

Try with all your might
But dreams only live in the night
I'm so tried of them always being out of reach

We don't realize
That the defeat's a disguise
Our fighting spirit is the flame of our souls

So I'll wait by that door
No matter what may come my way
And holding out my hand, I will say

If you are crushed
If you are hurt
Here is the strength
And the confidence
You have misplaced
If you feel down
Listen for my song

These tears of mine are screaming out
I found you on this gray world
Without any blue
But you showed me every color
I'll hold your hand




Amd won't let go
I thank you so

Overall Meaning

In Amanda Lee's My Song, the song opens with a despairing tone, as she notes the futility of life with no 'curtain call' and a broken heart that just can't seem to heal. Despite being able to see only grey clouds now after loving them too much, she sees those clouds as like those people who are unaware of what they do and laugh in the face of danger and truth. These folks rush into everything blindly, not seeing that nothing good comes from that. Nevertheless, Amanda pledges to keep moving on no matter what she faces, singing fearlessly not fearing what they say. In the following verse, Amanda metaphorically speaks to someone who is hurt and crying, acknowledging that the person is only human and that Amanda's own tears have helped her see what she could be in the world. She promises to hold onto that and to thank the person for it. Later in the song, there is a note of hope as she encourages people who may be hurt or down to listen to her song and be encouraged, that they hold within their soul a fighting spirit that is the flame that will be their guide through life.


Line by Line Meaning

There's no curtain call
Life is not a stage play that has a final curtain call.

Without a clear purpose or direction, life becomes meaningless.


If each day ends and this bent heart of mine cannot heal
If every day ends with a broken heart that cannot heal, the pain continues.


I can't see a darn thing
Unable to see anything clearly due to the darkness that surrounds.


But could it be
Is it possible that what is believed to be true may not be?


That the gray clouds that I loved completely blinded me
The love for depressing things can blind the eyes to a bright future.


They're souls like me and you
Like us, they have a soul that deserves to be heard.


Who aren't aware of what they do

Always laughing in the face of danger and truth

We don't realize
We are unaware.


That the defeat's a disguise
The loss can be a hidden opportunity for greater success.


Our fighting spirit is the flame of our souls

Here is the strength
I'll show you what you're capable of.


And the confidence
Belief in oneself and one's abilities.


You have misplaced

Listen for my song
Pay attention to my words of encouragement.


"I found you on this gray world"
When everything was gloomy and dull, you brought color to my life.


Without any blue
Life was lacking joy and happiness.


But you showed me every color
You taught me that life has a variety of experiences to offer.


I'll hold your hand
I'll be there to support you.


Amd won't let go
I'll stick with you through thick and thin.


I thank you so
Thank you so much for bringing joy and color to my world.

I found you on this gray world without any blue
But you showed me every color
I'll hold your hand and won't let go
I thank you so

@dragondracen511

Thank you LeeandLie for making this cover and give such good lyrics to it

my boyfriend made me listen to it the other and I though it wasn't that special until this part

" Deep in my heart I know for sure
That you are hurt, feel insecure
And surly crying because you are only human

These tears of mine are screaming out: "It's not a lie"
And as I cry I want to thank you
For showing me what I could be
I won't let go
I thank you so "

it made me cry so much and he comforted me just as much, it made the demons in my head go away

so thanks again for making such a beautiful cover

How to properly watch angel beats
Step 1: lie down
Step 2: try not to cry
Step 3: cry a lot

@sk8erboi6574

+CosmicVoltage Have you watched Your Lie in April? Same Process.

@AshSnowstorm

Don't forget about Clannad xD

@danielsjohnson

CosmicVoltage Let it all out. Only once the tears have been poured can healing begin. Shall our hearts be seared shut by cynicism? Pray it never be.


I got the above advice (from 4chan of all places) a little under a decade ago.

(A decade means 10 years). I didn't mind the info at the time but I saved the mot picture. I'm glad I did.

@s-094cam5

Step 4: drown in tears

@dragonof100

I watched this after my first girlfriend passed away. That pretty much sums up what happened xD
