Anya Mmiri
Ckay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh
Ahh, yeah

How could I forget you
When you build house for my mind?
And you go go outside
And you go going

It's me and you
But all I have is memories of you
But that just won't do tonight
Once I depart from my eyes, ah

Anya mmiri o (eh-oh)
Anya mmiri o (eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh)
Anya mmiri o (eh-oh)
Anya mmiri o (eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh)

Your music, I heard it
I wanted to tell you
I know that you don't leave your bedroom
Make songs off the pain that you've went through
The truth is that you
Can't accept the reasons I gave
You're done so now your apology late
I just took a walk in the rain
I thought I'd find you something
Buy you all that I can afford
So I can make you happy

Confusion, confusion
This life an illusion
You're with me right now, next thing, you're gone




But I need you on my skin like clothes, yeah
Like clothes, yeah, baby

And it's me and you
But all I have is memories of you
But that just won't do tonight
Once I depart from my eyes, ah

Anya mmiri o (eh-oh)
Anya mmiri o (eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh)
Anya mmiri o (eh-oh)
Anya mmiri o (eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh)

Line by Line Meaning

How could I forget you
I cannot forget about you


When you build house for my mind?
You have a special place in my thoughts and emotions


And you go go outside
You left me alone


And you go going
You keep leaving and coming back


It's me and you
We are in a relationship


But all I have is memories of you
All I have left are the moments we shared in the past


But that just won't do tonight
I need more than just memories to be satisfied


Once I depart from my eyes, ah
Once I close my eyes and sleep, I need to know you are still with me


Anya mmiri o (eh-oh)
I need you like water


Your music, I heard it
I listened to your songs


I wanted to tell you
I wanted to express my feelings to you


I know that you don't leave your bedroom
I know you isolate yourself in your room


Make songs off the pain that you've went through
You use music to express your own suffering


The truth is that you
The reality is that you


Can't accept the reasons I gave
You cannot comprehend the explanation I provided


You're done so now your apology late
You have moved on, making your apology meaningless now


I just took a walk in the rain
I am wandering aimlessly in the pouring rain


I thought I'd find you something
I hoped to surprise you with something special


Buy you all that I can afford
I want to show you how much you mean to me, regardless of cost


So I can make you happy
I want to make you feel good and content


Confusion, confusion
My mind is in turmoil


This life an illusion
Life is not real


You're with me right now, next thing, you're gone
You are here for the moment but will soon be gone


But I need you on my skin like clothes, yeah
I desire you to be as close to me as my clothing


Like clothes, yeah, baby
As a metaphor, I need you to be an inseparable part of me

Make songs off the pain that youโ€™ve went through

I just took a look in the mirror
I thought Iโ€™d find you something
That you know that I can afford
So I can make you happy


Confusion, confusion, itโ€™s life and illusion
Youโ€™re with me right now, next thing youโ€™re gone
But I need you on my skin like lotion
