THE ANTHEM
Filo & Peri feat. Eric Lumiere Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I've been feeling the same.
I've being losing hope, resisting the pain.
It's cold outside, I wish it were clearer.
Sometimes it's just easier... to turn around than look in the mirror.

Sometimes when I go to sleep
My life spins out in front of me
Like a hurricane, a bottle of wine.
Sometimes it's easier to let something else... control your life.

This is an anthem for the girl that got away.
This is an anthem for the war of yesterday.
This is an anthem for the rebel of my youth.
This is an anthem for the risk of loving you.

This is an anthem for the girl that got away.
This is an anthem for the war of yesterday.
This is an anthem for the rebel of my youth.




This is an anthem for the risk of loving you.
The risk of loving you.

Overall Meaning

The main theme in Filo & Peri feat. Eric Lumiere's song The Anthem is about the struggles of life: wanting to give up, feeling lost, and resistance to pain. The opening lines "Lately I've been feeling the same, I've been losing hope, resisting the pain", expresses a common feeling of being lost, stuck, and overwhelmed. The next line "It's cold outside, I wish it were clearer" seems like a metaphor for clarity and understanding, especially during tough and confusing times. Often, during hardships we opt to avoid or ignore the problem, and "to turn around than look in the mirror" serves as an analogy for running away from our problems rather than facing them.


The chorus "This is an anthem for the girl that got away, This is an anthem for the war of yesterday, This is an anthem for the rebel of my youth, This is an anthem for the risk of loving you" has different interpretations, depending on who's listening. Each line can be interpreted in many different ways, but one of the most common themes is letting go of the past, learning from our past experiences, and the risks we take in pursuing our dreams and love.


Overall, The Anthem by Filo & Peri feat. Eric Lumiere's song is a beautiful reminder that life is full of ups and downs, and our adversities and challenges shape us, even if we might not realize it at the time.
