Amazon
Pastis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not like them boys down the pub
She said I wanna be loved like they are
But not just by anyone
John said you better sit down love
There's more to life than you see
In fact this is just a playground for us
Like me and my friend Mr. Fun
Smoking singles in the sun
Letting go of locked up pain
Dancing angels in the rain
Go wash your face in the Amazon
You're everything and be nothing more
We're nothing short of a paragon
I know, just like we used to be
She looked at him all excited
Two marbles shining like stars
You say that I can be anybody?
I've been too trapped in my scars
Well he said you've just gone and hit the hammer on the nail
Cause letting go gives room for us to play
Go wash your face in the Amazon
You're everything and be nothing more
We're nothing short of a paragon
I know, just like we used to be
Forget your name in the Amazon
You're everything and be nothing more
We're nothing short of a paragon
I know, just like we used to be
Sunbeams finding home like little penguins on a southern shore
The song "Amazon" by Pastis tells the story of Annie, a woman who has never been truly happy and longs for love like the men at the pub have. John, the singer, tells her that there is more to life than what she sees and that life is just a playground. He encourages her to be whoever she wants to be, just like he and his friend Mr. Fun do. They let go of their pain and dance in the rain with angels. John tells Annie to wash her face in the Amazon, to be everything and nothing more, and to forget her name in the Amazon. He tells her that they are nothing short of a paragon and to be just like they used to be.
The lyrics of "Amazon" can be interpreted in different ways. They might suggest that the Amazon is a place of renewal, where one can forget their past and become whoever they want to be. The Amazon might represent a place of freedom and liberation, where people can let go of their pain and find happiness. Alternatively, the Amazon might symbolize a place of danger and uncertainty, where one can get lost and forget themselves. The song could be seen as a call to live life to the fullest, to let go of pain and fears, and to find joy in the little things.
