Amnesia
Rosette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring at me, scratching your head with that bewildered look on your face
You don't quite seem to recollect, it's as if there isn't a trace
Of all the reasons that I got you babe
All the ways you've done me wrong
Maybe I can't drive your memory
By the time I'm done with this song
You're a liar, a cheat, unfaithful don (unfaithful don)
You throw away all our love and trust (love and trust)
It's so hard to see just who you are
You've been tricking with them before
Amnesia

I, I think you got me all wrong, girl
Amnesia
I think, I think you got me all wrong
Amnesia
I, I think you got me all wrong, girl
Amnesia
I think you got me all wrong

I know that you'd rather forget all of the pain you caused me inside
You need a good reality check, that's why I'm walking out of your life
So all the images start flashing back and the picture is restored
Let me resurrect your solid past 'til there ain't no dying anymore

You're a liar, a cheat, unfaithful don (unfaithful don)
You throw away all our love and trust (love and trust)
It's so hard to see just who you are
You've been tricking with them before
Amnesia

She said I got amnesia
No cards girl, I'm no reader
That dress make me believe her

She's striding like a diva
Got a glimpse, go out for her features
I got approval from all my people
Is she the one, is she a keeper?
Cause you never know our love baby

Get a taste of this fame, baby, baby!
Oh no, you got me
I never cheat, not me
Don't get left out alone

You're a liar, a cheat, unfaithful don (unfaithful don)
You throw away all our love and trust (love and trust)
It's so hard to see just who you are
You've been tricking with them before
Amnesia

I, I think you got me all wrong, girl
(I think that I don't)
I think, I think you got me all wrong
(you're playing your first)
I wouldn't do you like that
(yes, yes you would)
I think you got me all wrong, girl
(no)
I think you got me all wrong, girl
Ii think that I don't)
I think, I think you got me all wrong
(you're playing your first)
I wouldn't do you like that




(yes, yes you would)
I think you got me all wrong, girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rosette's song Amnesia speak to the betrayal and hurt caused by someone who has forgotten or refuses to acknowledge the impact of their actions. The song begins with the singer staring at their partner, who seems to have forgotten all the reasons why they were together and all the hurtful things they have done. The singer is frustrated that they are unable to jog their partner's memory and is resigned to singing about it instead.


As the song progresses, the singer confronts their partner about their infidelity and the broken trust that has resulted. They realize that their partner is unable or unwilling to change and decides to leave them, hoping that with time, their partner will remember the hurt they have caused and learn from their mistakes.


The chorus of the song, with the repeated refrain of "Amnesia," speaks to the hopelessness of the situation, where the singer feels powerless to make their partner understand the gravity of their actions. The song ends with a back-and-forth where the singer insists they wouldn't cheat on their partner, refuting their partner's claims, before ending on an uncertain note, unsure if their partner really understands the gravity of what they've done.


Overall, the lyrics of Amnesia speak to the pain of betrayal and the strains of a relationship that has been eroded by lies and infidelity. It expresses the hopelessness of trying to save something that has been irreparably damaged.
