Anna
Art Sorority Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She used that body like a cashier's check
You folded like a tablecloth
Whenever her T-shirt came off
Anaphylactic Shock
She shook your ticker to its very last tock
Your nerves all shot like silly string
I've got Anamorphic Widescreen
And I can't complain about the view
The Animaniacs are everywhere
And everybody knows they don't stay true
But I can't help pretending - Anna, I love you
Remember when the shit got rough
And Anabolic had to act so tough
There ain't no shame in confidence
But there damn sure is some in violence
So never, ever lend CDs
'Cause Anaconda's gonna squeeze, squeeze, squeeze
Like everything's her property
She won't say please, she won't say sorry
Anorexia Nervosa
The thinning hair, those hollow, hungry eyes
The Animaniacs are everywhere
And everybody knows that they tell lies
But I can't help believing - Anna, I'm your guy
The song "Anna" by Art Sorority seems to be about a woman named Anna who has a powerful effect on the singer. The lyrics use various medical and pop culture references, which the singer may be using to express Anna's hold over them. For instance, "Anatomically Correct" could refer to Anna's beauty, and "anaphylactic shock" might represent the overwhelming feeling the singer gets when they're around her. Despite the trepidation the singer feels, they also seem enamored by Anna and unable to resist her.
The chorus, "I've got Anamorphic Widescreen / And I can't complain about the view / The Animaniacs are everywhere / And everybody knows they don't stay true / But I can't help pretending - Anna, I love you," seems to suggest that the singer is aware of the flaws in their obsession for Anna, but they can't help but be drawn to her. The song also touches on themes of confidence and violence, warning against excessive displays of either. Finally, the song equates the cultural lie-telling of the Animaniacs with Anna's own manipulative qualities.
