Anthea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel tender
And the same thing you promised me
It was early December
You go your way
And I go mine
And you say your sorry
And I say I'm fine
It's alright
I make my? and I forget
It's alright
It's alright
With your words controlling me
Comes a sense of security
But the same thing you gave to me
You took it back, instantly
So here we go again
And I stay here
With no more promises
Nowhere near
It's alright
I make my ?? and I forget
It's alright
It's alright
Fingers
Fingers
Fingers
Fingers
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
The song "Fingers" by Anthea seems to be about a tumultuous and potentially toxic relationship that has gone through ups and downs. The lyrics suggest that the singer is with someone who can make them feel tender and secure with just their touch and words. However, promises are broken and taken back, leading to a repeated cycle of disappointment and forgiveness. The last verse seems to suggest a sense of resignation towards this pattern, as the singer repeats "It's alright" several times, implying that they've accepted the situation for what it is.
Overall, the song seems to capture the conflicting emotions of being with someone who both makes you feel alive and also drives you crazy. The use of repetition in the chorus and the simple instrumentation creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, which adds to the overall emotional impact of the song.
