Amnesia
Anthem Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Would spend the time we wasted
I thought about our last kiss
How it felt the way you tasted
And even though your friends tell
Me you're doing fine
Are you somewhere feeling lonely even
When he says those words that hurt you
Do you read the ones I wrote you?
Sometimes I start to wonder
Was it just a lie? If what we had was real
How could you be fine?
'Cause I'm not fine at all
I remember the day you told
Me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind
You didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to
Fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
'Cause I'm not fine at all
The pictures that you sent me they're
Still living in my phone
I'll admit I like to see them
I'll admit I feel alone
And all my friends keep asking
Why I'm not around
It hurts to know you're happy, yeah
It hurts that you've moved on
It's hard to hear your name when I
Haven't seen you in so long
It's like we never happened
Was it just a lie? If what we had was real
How could you be fine?
'Cause I'm not fine at all
I remember the day you told
Me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind
You didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to
Fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
If today I woke up with you right beside me
Like all of this was just some twisted dream
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
And you'd never slip away
And you'd never hear me say
I remember the day you told
Me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind
You didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to
Fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
'Cause I'm not fine at all
No, I'm really not fine at all
Tell me this is just a dream
'Cause I'm really not fine at all
The lyrics of Anthem Lights's song "Amnesia" speak to the pain and heartbreak of a breakup. The singer reflects on the places they used to spend time with their partner and how they reminisce about their last kiss and the way it felt. Despite hearing that their ex is doing fine from mutual friends, the singer questions if they are truly happy or if they are feeling lonely even with someone new by their side. The lingering hurt and longing is palpable as the singer wonders if their past relationship was a lie and struggles to understand how their ex could move on so easily while they themselves are still in pain.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional turmoil of the breakup, recalling the painful moment when their partner said they were leaving and the sorrowful image of makeup running down their face. The lyrics express a yearning to forget the memories and wishes shared with their ex, to wake up with amnesia and erase the lingering feelings of heartbreak and loneliness. The singer finds solace in the photos of their past relationship on their phone, even though it only serves to remind them of what they've lost and how much they miss their former partner.
The chorus repeats the sentiment of not being fine at all, emphasizing the ongoing struggle to come to terms with the breakup and the desire to escape the pain. The singer's sense of longing and regret is evident as they wish for a chance to start anew with their ex, to hold them closer and never let go. The raw emotion of the lyrics portrays the deep emotional impact of heartbreak and the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship that meant so much to them.
The final verse brings the song full circle, expressing the singer's wish for a second chance with their ex, to wake up with them by their side and believe that the pain of the breakup was all just a bad dream. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and vulnerability, as the singer grapples with the reality of the breakup and the unrelenting ache of missing their former partner. The song ends on a haunting note, with the singer pleading for a reprieve from their pain and longing for a happier ending to their story.

I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted
I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted
And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine
Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?
When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?
Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?
'Cause I'm not fine at all
I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
'Cause I'm not fine at all
The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone
I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone
And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around
It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on
It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long
It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?
'Cause I'm not fine at all
I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
If today I woke up with you right beside me
Like all of this was just some twisted dream
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
And you'd never slip away
And you'd never hear me say
I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
'Cause I'm not fine at all
No, I'm really not fine at all
Tell me this is just a dream
'Cause I'm really not fine at all
