Annie
Copperpot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm back now where I started.
Lonely and broken hearted.
How could you have meant a word you said to me?
Sorry I couldn't be that guy you wanted so helpless.
I'm confident, you'd say conceited.

Chorus:
Oh, Annie, tell me something about his sensitivity
You know it all too well
Oh, Annie, tell me something about his sensitivity
You know it all too well

Who was there when you needed someone?
Cause I was there when you had no one.
Is this how you show all of your thanks to me?
We used to sing on Sundays.
My family came to your play.
I brought you flowers and Judy Garland tapes.

Chorus:

The pink pick is breaking.
The one you gave me.
And now it's broken too.





Chorus:

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Copperpot's song "Annie" express feelings of heartbreak and confusion about a past romantic relationship. The singer has returned to where he started, feeling lonely and broken-hearted. He questions the authenticity of the words his ex-partner spoke to him and expresses regret for not being able to fulfill their expectations. The chorus consists of a plea to Annie, a mutual friend who knows about the sensitivity of the ex-partner, for insight into how to handle the situation.


The singer also feels unappreciated, mentioning how he was there for his ex-partner when she needed someone but feels like she is not showing gratitude. The bridge references shared experiences like singing and attending plays with each other, and the singer brings up previous romantic gestures like giving flowers and tapes to Judy Garland songs. The final line, "The pink pick is breaking," suggests that even small remnants from their past are now falling apart.
