Annie
Phomea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I looked back for all my days and I see you in my neighborhood in the dark, the cold on the floor
Is your taste, is your voice
What I feel in those places and that makes my choice Am I lost? or is everybody else lost in you
There's a cage you raise around me
For my daily hours
And I look above to find out where you could be
Until the day you're gone
And I walk alone surrounded by slowly ghostsall of them looking for you
The lyrics to Phoebe's song "Annie" paint a picture of a person who is dealing with intense emotions and seems to be struggling to find their way. They compare the words spoken to them as swords - something that can inflict pain and harm. Despite this, they seem to be calling out to a darker hole or place, perhaps as a way of escape or finding solace.
In the next few lines, they seem to be reflecting on their past and how they've seen this person called Annie around their neighborhood in the dark and cold. This person's taste and voice seem to be significant to the singer as it affects them in a way that influences their choices. They then question whether they are lost or if everyone else is lost in Annie as well.
Towards the end of the first paragraph, the singer describes feeling caged in by the presence of Annie around them. They seem to constantly look above, perhaps searching for a way to break free from the hold that Annie has on them. The final lines of the verse suggest that should Annie leave, it would be catastrophic - the world would crash and the singer would be left alone in the company of slowly ghosts, each searching for Annie.
Overall, the song seems to be about a person who is grappling with their intense feelings for another person and the impact that it is having on their life. It's a complex and emotional song that captures the feeling of being trapped by something that you can't quite control.
