Wind
Anemoria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Perfect in every single way
Mislead my mind
It′s a game
You're tainted and haunted
We′re tainted and haunted
These sequences
Aligning with heartache
We do this all the time
Is your heart splitting in two now?
It's hard enough for me to hold on
To your empty words
Back when you knew me
Way before I lost
Every ounce of myself
I'm someone else
Don′t you ever turn away
I am not the one to blame
Awkward imagination
You cannot be tamed
Always forever complicated
If anything the way I was
Helped destroy the best of us
I am not the innocent one
Say my name a million times
Curse it at the mountains
I know I was wrong
Back when you knew me
Way before I lost
Every ounce of myself
I′m someone else
Don't you ever turn away
I am not the one to blame
Do I ever cross your mind
Would you even waste the time
To write about your lost love
It′s not enough
Am I not enough
Curiosity it gets the best of me
I need to know
What if we were both
Better at the core
Innocent of any crime
Would we do it at least one more time?
What if we were both
Better at the core
Innocent of any crime
Would we do it at least one more time?
And I still go back to her
Still I go back to her
And I still go back to her
Still I go back
And I still go back to her




Still I go back to her
And I still go back to her

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Anemoria’s song “Wind” are introspective and emotional, delving into the complexities of relationships and self-discovery. The opening line “Perfect in every single way/Mislead my mind/It’s a game” sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer reflects on a past relationship in which she was led astray by the other person’s seemingly perfect exterior. This theme of duality and hidden flaws is further explored with the repetition of “tainted and haunted,” describing how both individuals in the relationship have their own issues to contend with.


The lyrics then shift to the pain of heartbreak, with the line “Is your heart splitting in two now?/It’s hard enough for me to hold on/To your empty words” conveying a sense of agony and disillusionment. The singer laments how the person she used to be, “way before I lost every ounce of myself,” has been lost, replaced by someone else entirely. And yet, the refrain “Don’t you ever turn away/I am not the one to blame” is a final declaration of strength and self-assurance, a reminder that she will not take responsibility for another person’s actions.


The song ends with the haunting repetition of “And I still go back to her,” highlighting the difficulty of moving on and the pull of memories and past loves. Overall, “Wind” is a beautifully crafted exploration of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the complexities of relationships.

First five seconds remind me of "Miami Nights" by Lower Definition. This is definitely a classic Anemoria song though wowie wowie zowie its just so good.

@rajasnagpurkar

I've cried hard to this song, twice. Rarely happens for me via song. This song and Worries by Submotion Orchestra really tap into heartbreak for me. good job!
