Amnesia
Bryana Salaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Overall Meaning

In Bryana Salaz's "Amnesia," the singer reflects on the pain of a breakup and the lingering memories of a past love. The song begins with the singer driving past old hangouts and thinking about her last kiss with her ex, their taste still fresh in her mind. While her ex's friends tell her that he's doing fine, she wonders if he feels the same sense of loneliness that she does, even when he's beside his new partner. She also imagines him reading the words she wrote him and wonders if he feels the same pain that she does.


The chorus reflects the singer's desire to forget the memories of her past love entirely. She wishes for amnesia, to forget even the "stupid little things" that remind her of her lost love. The second verse deals with the pain of seeing photos of her ex and of being asked where she's been by her friends. She can't shake the memory of her ex and misses the time they spent together. At the end of the song, she expresses her longing to have her ex back, even just for a moment, and to hold him tight so that he doesn't slip away again.

I never understand why Mia Pfirrman and Bryana Salaz eliminated when they was standing in the playoffs round. They must be in the top 12 and even deserve go to the finale.
