Mozella Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Speak to me, read my mind
Fill your mouth, with flesh and wine

And I'll be yours, just give me time
Give me time

'Cause you have everything I could ever want
You have everything I could ever want

You speak to my soul like you've known it before
And I just can't stop
Lord I can't stop, myself
I can't stop
Lord I can't stop, myself, now

I'm loosing sleep, over you
And I don't know what, I've got myself into
You just have something that I need
I can't put my finger on it
You can't put yours on me

You have everything I could ever want
You have everything I could ever want
You speak to my soul like you've known it before
And I just can't stop
Lord I can't stop, myself
I can't stop
Lord I can't stop, myself, now

(Now) That you know, I can't get enough
I gotta have all your love

You have everything I could ever want
You have everything I could ever want
You speak to my soul like you've known it before
And I just can't stop
Lord I can't stop, myself
I can't stop
Lord I can't stop, myself
I won't stop
Lord I can't stop, myself

I can't stop
Lord I can't stop, myself, now

Overall Meaning

The song “Amnesia” by Mozella explores the feeling of being deeply enamored with someone and losing sight of one’s self. The opening lines ask for the other person to understand the singer’s feelings without needing to verbalize them. The line “Fill your mouth, with flesh and wine” is suggestive of the intimacy and closeness the singer desires. They are willing to give themselves over to the other person, a sentiment emphasized in the chorus where the singer confesses that they can’t stop wanting the other person.

The singer’s affection for the other person is all-consuming, demonstrated by their inability to sleep and confusion over what they’re feeling. They express uncertainty about what it is that pulls them towards the other person. Despite this, the chorus reinforces the idea that the other person has everything the singer could want or need. The implication is that, even if the singer doesn’t understand what it is about the other person that draws them in, they know that they want more.
