Ruffin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′ll find the light in your eyes
So tell me why you wanna play with me
You aint got nothing to say to me
I used to think you take away from
Until I seen you walk away from me
I just take it for what it is
Everyday feels like this,
Everyday feels like this,
Amnesia
I cant remember
Cant remember why I wanna leave ya
Hate this shit I'm saying but you know this is this truth
Over second crazy but we′ll never make a truce
Open bar at the function so you open up
You took one too many shots and now you over us
Took a couple shots but now you smokin' up
Take a couple tokes and now you woken up
I cant reason with you cuz your clothes on
But I'm still here becuz your clothes off
I just take it for what it is
Everyday feels like this,
Everyday feels like this,
Everyday feels like this,
Amnesia
I can′t remember
Can′t remember why I wanna leave ya
Amnesia
I can't remember
Can′t remember why I wanna leave ya
Inside you bottle inside
You lie to yourself, you lie
You cry and can't remember why
You cry and can′t remember why
Close the gap on a weekend
Getting closer to your demons
I been running out of reasons
Until I seen you leaving
I just take it for what it is
Everyday feels like this,
Everyday feels like this,
Everyday feels like this,
Amnesia
I can't remember
Can′t remember why I wanna leave ya
The song "Amnesia" by Ruffin is a song about a toxic relationship that the singer is struggling to leave. The opening lines, "Dreams turn to nightmares sometimes, I'll find the light in your eyes," suggests that the singer may have had high hopes and expectations for the relationship but things have turned sour. The lines, "So tell me why you wanna play with me, you ain't got nothing to say to me," indicate that the other person may be playing games or manipulating the singer without any real substance to their communication. However, the singer is also grappling with conflicting emotions as they admit, "I used to think you take away from, until I seen you walk away from me." This suggests that despite recognizing that the relationship is harmful, the singer may still be struggling to let go.
The chorus of the song, "Amnesia, I can't remember, can't remember why I wanna leave ya," is a reflection of the struggle faced by the singer in trying to forget the other person and move on. The lines, "Hate this shit I'm saying but you know this is this truth, Over second crazy but we'll never make a truce," reveal that the singer is aware of the toxicity of the relationship but still can't help feeling drawn to the other person. The use of the word "amnesia" suggests that the singer wants to forget everything about the relationship but is finding it difficult to shake off. The final lines, "Close the gap on a weekend, getting closer to your demons, I been running out of reasons, until I seen you leaving," suggest that the singer may have tried to find solutions to the problems in the relationship but has now come to the realization that leaving is the only option.
