Dirty Thoughts
Amber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The thought of you
The thought of me
The thought of her
Such insanity

The thought of fears
The thought of pain
The thought of tears
Like cold and endless jagged rain

Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Of dirty thoughts

I think alone
I think of trust
Of an unknown zone
The feeling of unjust

I think of dark
And blind emotion
Of dying sparks
And drowning in a sea of oceans

Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Of dirty thoughts
Dirty, dirty thoughts

I wish I wasn't so insecure
Wish my mind was clean and pure
And free of
And free of

Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall

Dirty thoughts
Like a train that I'm on
And I can't, can't get off
No, I can't get off
Here I am on a raft
On a black waterfall
Of dirty, dirty thoughts
Dirty, dirty, dirty thoughts

Like a train that I'm on




And I can't, can't get off
It's not cold and endless rain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Amber's song Dirty Thoughts are a stream of consciousness of someone battling with their innermost thoughts. The first stanza speaks of the constant turmoil in the person's mind as they think about themselves, the person they desire and another person. It's clear from the lyrics that the person is struggling with their feelings and overthinking the situation, making them feel insane. The second stanza puts the person in a dark place, where they think about fear, pain, and tears that are like cold and endless rain. They feel trapped in their thoughts.


The chorus of the song is where Amber confesses that she's stuck on a train of dirty thoughts, and she can't get off. The thoughts are taking her to an unknown place, very much like being on a raft on a black waterfall. The last verse is a cry of desperation from the person, who wishes they weren't so insecure and that their mind was free of these dirty thoughts. The final repetition of the chorus shows that despite the person wishing they could get off the train, they are still powerless against the thoughts in their head.
