Amsterdam
Daughter/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Skin up like lightning
Getting high on drugs quickly and abruptly

Breathing flames from tourist trade
The city takes advantage of tourists and uses them for money

Your eyes go quite frightening
The effects of drugs make the person's eyes look scary

You lock your gaze on to my face
The person is fixated on the artist and possibly aggressive

Heavy eye crawling on the roadside
Seeing people high on drugs barely able to move

Swinging from the street lights
People on drugs behaving erratically and dangerously

I hope by the morning I will have grown back
The singer hopes to regain their sense of self and sanity after being in Amsterdam

I'll escape with him
The artist plans on leaving with someone they just met, likely also on drugs

Show him all my skin
The artist plans on being intimate with this person despite not even knowing them

Then I'll go
After the fleeting encounter, the artist intends to leave Amsterdam

I'll go home
Returning back to where the singer is from

I'm a flying kite in the breeze just
The artist feels aimless and restless, like a child's toy being blown around

Restlessly seeking images a child needs to help them sleep
The singer is searching for something to provide them with comfort and stability

I was thinking that I should see someone
The singer realizes they may need help or support

Just to find out that I'm alright
In finding someone to talk to, the singer gains assurance that they are doing okay

I used to dream of adventure
When young, the artist had dreams of exciting experiences and exploring new places

When I was younger
Reinforcing the previous statement about youthful naivety

With lungs miniature
Reminding the listener of the singer's childhood and how small they were

Good night with killing our brain cells
The singer acknowledges that their drug use is damaging their brain and overall health

Is this called living or something else
Questioning whether their current lifestyle is truly living or if it's just existing

By the morning I would've grown back
Reiterating the hope of regaining their sense of self and stability by the next day

By the morning I would've grown back
Continuing the repetition of the previous line

By the morning I would've grown back
Once again, emphasizing the hope of feeling better by the next day

By the morning I would've grown back
Ending the song with the same line, driving home the importance of their personal growth and recovery
