Annabelle
Eva Under Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's coming around again
He always knew
He could never look back
She'll take the fall again
He looks away
How did they get off track

We were never meant
Never meant
Never meant to be here
To be here

Annabelle, I wish you well
You were never really good for me
The pain and loss
Dreams you cost
I'd be a fool not to ever leave
You made me
What I am
I can't seem to get washed clean
Annabelle Annabelle
Why me

He looks up just in time
To see it all come crashing down
Nobody's going home tonight
He looks away will they be alright

We were never meant
Never meant
Never meant to be here
To be here

Annabelle, I wish you well
You were never really good for me
The pain and loss
Dreams you cost
I'd be a fool not to ever leave
You made me
What I am
I can't seem to get washed clean
Annabelle Annabelle
Why me

You made me what I am
No matter what happens
Annabelle
You made me what I am
You made me what I am

Annabelle, I wish you well
You were never really good for me
The pain and loss
Dreams you cost
I'd be a fool not to ever leave
You made me
What I am
I can't seem to get washed clean
Annabelle Annabelle
Why me





Why me

Overall Meaning

The song "Annabelle" by Eva Under Fire is a powerful and emotional track exploring the turmoil of a toxic relationship. The first verse sets the scene, describing how the events of the relationship seem to be repeating themselves, and the male protagonist has a sense of inevitability that he cannot escape. He knows the female protagonist will take the blame once again, and he cannot bring himself to look at her as he grapples with the question of how they got so off track.


The chorus repeats the phrase "We were never meant to be here" several times, emphasizing the idea that this relationship was a mistake from the very beginning. The second verse describes the male protagonist feeling helpless as he watches everything fall apart around him. He looks away from the chaos, wondering if they will even survive the night.


The bridge of the song is a powerful moment, as the male protagonist recognizes that the relationship has shaped him into the person he is today, but he cannot escape the pain and loss that Annabelle has caused him. He wonders why he was chosen to go through this turmoil, and why they were ever together in the first place.


Overall, "Annabelle" is a poignant and emotional song that captures the turmoil of a relationship gone wrong. The lyrics are full of vivid imagery and raw emotion, and the chorus is sure to stick in your head long after the song is over.
