Amnesia
Miracle Of Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Innocence left you too soon
So young at heart but you feel so much older
Under your favourite full moon
So trust a little science, don’t you be afraid
Just a little time gonna make it fade
And you’re gonna make us proud
Send a little light gonna shine for you
Things’ll be alright, gonna get you through
Searchin’ for a silver lining on this cloud
Amnesia Oh oh oh
You forgot your name
Don’t let your spirit fade away
Amnesia Oh oh oh
You’ve been through such pain
But your little heart is growing stronger every day
Hey!
Don’t fade away
Don’t fade away
Amnesia
You’ve got this burden to bear now
Hiding away from the world
But deep down behind that disguise that you wear now
I see a lost little girl
So trust a little science, don’t you be afraid
Just a little time gonna make it fade
Your heart is gonna shine
And you’re gonna make us proud
Send a little light gonna shine for you
Things’ll be alright, gonna get you through
Searchin’ for a silver lining on this cloud
Amnesia Oh oh oh
You forgot your name
Don’t let your spirit fade away
Amnesia Oh oh oh
You’ve been through such pain
But your little heart is growing stronger every day
Hey!
Don’t fade away
Don’t fade away
Under your favourite full moon...
Amnesia
You forgot your name
Don’t let your spirit fade away
Amnesia
You’ve been through such pain
But your're growing stronger every day
Amnesia Oh oh oh
You forgot your name
Don’t let your spirit fade away
Amnesia Oh oh oh
You’ve been through such pain
But your little heart is growing stronger every day
Hey!
Don’t fade away
Don’t fade away
So much stronger...
And when the world is on your shoulders
Stay
Don’t fade away...
The lyrics of Miracle Of Sound's song "Amnesia" depicts a message of hope and perseverance that are necessary for one to have and maintain through difficult times. The song speaks about someone who has been burdened by the weight of the world at a young age and forced to confront life's difficulties earlier than they should have. However, there is still hope for them to find joy in life and rise above their struggles.
The lyricist describes the person’s innocence being taken away too soon and although they feel much older, they still possess a childlike innocence within them, symbolized by the image of the full moon, which they hold on to tightly. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that the person has forgotten their name, that is, lost their sense of self and identity, but they must not let their spirit fade away. Instead, they should trust in science and time to heal themselves and trust that the future will be brighter.
The song encourages the listener to find the silver lining in every cloud and to look for hope in the darkness. Even though the person is hiding from the world and concealing their true self, the lyricist sees through their façade and acknowledges the little girl who is lost beneath it all. The song ultimately aims to instill courage and determination in the listener to face their problems head-on and not let their struggles define them.

And when the world is on your shoulders
When you are facing tremendous pressure and stress
Stay
Hold on and persevere
