Monsoon
Amber Mark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew it was gonna end this way
I said it all the time, but you said that you were fine
And now you wonder why, and why you
I tried my best to make you check it out, huh?
I cried so much it burnt my eyes, I begged every day
But all the stubborn things you do
I must've gotten that from you
I wished that there was somethin' I'd done more of
Knocked you out and dragged you there myself
Maybe then you'd be here, you'd be here
Tuck my things we've grown up to
And how much I love you every way
But you're not here, and with all my tears
It feels like Monsoon every day
Monsoon, monsoon, monsoon, monsoon
Monsoon, monsoon, monsoon, monsoon
Look into your eyes, do you see me?
Staring into space, you've lost yourself
The rain has fallen through, and there's nothing I can do
But just cry all over you, and why you?
Play our favorite songs, do you hear them?
Take us back to times so happy, with good health
Traveling galore, just the two of us in store
And the plans we had for more, and why you?
Never thought that there would be an ending
Father loved strong enough to make you stay
If it was, if it was
You'd be here, you'd be here
Tuck my things we've grown up to
And how much I love you every way
But you're not here, with all my tears
It feels like Monsoon every day
Halo halo halo
Monsoon
You'd be here
Monsoon
Monsoon
Monsoon
Feels like Monsoon every day
Monsoon
Monsoon
You'd be here
Monsoon
Monsoon
Monsoon
Monsoon
Monsoon
It feels like Monsoon every day
Halo Amber, I love you
The lyrics of “Monsoon” by Amber Mark are a heartbreaking and emotional expression of grief and regret. The song seems to be about losing someone dear to the singer, who may have died or left under tragic circumstances. The opening lines describe the physical state of the person, who is barely breathing in bed. The singer had presumably warned them about their fate but was ignored. The lines “I tried my best to make you check it out, huh? I cried so much it burnt my eyes, I begged every day” reveal the desperation and helplessness the singer felt in trying to prevent the loss.
The second verse takes on a nostalgic tone, recalling happy memories with the lost person, such as listening to favorite songs and traveling together. The lines “Never thought that there would be an ending, Father loved strong enough to make you stay” suggest that the loss may have been avoidable, but ultimately fate had other plans. The final refrain of “Monsoon” repeated several times, along with the line “Feels like Monsoon every day”, captures the overwhelming sadness and depression that the singer feels in the absence of the loved one.
Overall, Amber Mark’s lyrics convey a strong sense of regret, longing, and hopelessness. The singer seems to be struggling to come to terms with the sudden absence of someone they loved deeply, and the lyrics suggest that they may blame themselves in part for what happened. The repeated use of the word “why” reflects the singer’s struggle to understand and accept the loss.
