Amnesia
Rea Mochiach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soon we will be
Where nothing worries us
Lazy days
Cool is the breeze
Across the universe
And the moonlight is kissing their eyes
When you awake
You will be free
I'll be your lullaby
Alcohol
No need to fear
Rest in these fuzzy arms
Ease on down
Amnesia
Baby's on Valium
Keep us from danger and safe from all harm
From the wind, and the rain, and the fire
When you awake
You will be free
And I'll be you're lullaby
When you awake
You will be free
And I'll be your lullaby.
The lyrics to Rea Mochiach's "Amnesia" are quite cryptic and metaphoric, leaving much open to interpretation. The song describes a peaceful, idyllic world where one can escape from worries and find serenity. This is emphasized by the lines "Peace on Earth, Soon we will be, Where nothing worries us". The singer seems to be offering their partner a sense of protection and assurance, as they say "When you awake, You will be free, I'll be your lullaby".
However, the song takes a more ominous turn with the mention of alcohol, Valium, and amnesia. The lyric, "Baby's on Valium, Keep us from danger and safe from harm" could be interpreted as the singer suggesting that their partner takes medication to numb their feelings or escape some sort of danger. The line "Ease on down, Amnesia" implies that the singer wants their partner to forget their worries, possibly through drug use.
Overall, the song seems to be exploring the themes of escape, protection, and numbness. The singer seems to want to protect their partner from harm, but they also appear to promote drugs as a method of escape, which could be viewed as a problematic message.
