Flicker
Amarante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've made my bed of lies
I sleep with my regrets
They will be my demise
If this is what you want
If this is what you need
I feel you letting go, drifting away
Listen to the sound of this empty room
Silence fills the air and it's gone to soon
Seconds to dwell on what is true
My last breath till I'm honest with you
It's my time to go far away
Leaving this place behind me
My dark past will haunt me
I've made my bed of lies
It's time to let me go, me go
It's time to get away, away
Listen to the sound of this empty room
Silence fills the air and it's gone to soon
Seconds to dwell on what is true
My last breath till I'm honest with you
It's my time to go far away
Leaving this place behind me
The lyrics of Amarante's song Flicker describe a person's struggle with their past and the consequences of their actions. The singer acknowledges that their dark history will always be a part of them and they will always be haunted by the mistakes they have made. The line "I've made my bed of lies, I sleep with my regrets, they will be my demise" gives us a glimpse into the singer's mindset - they are aware that their past actions have far-reaching consequences and will eventually catch up to them.
The chorus of the song is a plea for someone to stay, despite the singer's flaws and mistakes. Even though they know they have made mistakes, the singer needs the other person to stay in their life. The line "I feel you letting go, drifting away, but I, I needed you to stay" is a powerful reminder that sometimes we need someone to stand by us, even when we don't deserve it.
The second verse of the song talks about the emptiness that the singer feels as they come to terms with their past. The line "Listen to the sound of this empty room, silence fills the air and it's gone too soon" is a poignant description of the void that the singer is feeling. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer accepting that they need to leave their past behind and move on. The line "It's my time to go far away, leaving this place behind me" signifies a new beginning for the singer.
Overall, the lyrics of Flicker are a powerful reminder that we all have flaws and make mistakes, but we need to move forward and leave our past behind if we want to truly live.
