Anymore
Sarah Cracknell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Does anyone remember how it used to be?
Don't turn around 'cause you won't see me cry.
I hear the sounds of motorways and aeroplanes.
I'm feeling I've got no more love to give.

I don't want tomorrow I don't want the car,
I don't need your money
Anymore.

I don't need the moonlight,
I don't want the stars,
I don't need the sunshine
Anymore.
I don't want the hotels,
I don't want the bars,
I don't need you calling round here no more.

Does anyone believe in what you say to them?
Don't turn around, never see me cry.
I can't believe how you've spent you life since then;
Wasting time, telling lies and more.

I don't want tomorrow
I don't want the car,
I don't need your money
Anymore.

I don't need the moonlight,
I don't want the stars,
I don't need the sunshine
Anymore.

I don't want the hotels,
I don't want the bars,
I don't need you calling round here no more.

Yeah, no more,
No more,
No more.

I don't want tomorrow
I don't want the car,
I don't need your money
Anymore.

I don't need the moonlight,
I don't want the stars,
I don't need the sunshine
Anymore.

I don't want tomorrow
I don't want the car,
I don't need your money
Anymore.

I don't want the hotels,
I don't want the bars,
I don't need you calling
Anymore.

I don't need nobody
Anymore.
I don't need nobody
Anymore.

I don't need nobody
Anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sarah Cracknell's song Anymore depict a person who has reached their breaking point in a relationship. The first verse begins with a nostalgic reflection of the past, wondering if anyone remembers how it used to be. This emotion is quickly followed by a firm declaration not to look back, refusing to cry over what has become of the relationship. The second verse reveals the cause of the singer's frustration - a deceitful partner who has wasted their life telling lies. The chorus emphasises the singer's need for closure and detachment from the relationship. They no longer desire what they once prized and assertively declare they do not need anybody anymore.

The song's lyrics convey a strong sense of liberation from a toxic relationship - a theme that resonates with many people who have experienced emotional turmoil in their relationships. It highlights the need for self-care and prioritisation of personal growth over material gains. The motorways and aeroplanes in the first verse could symbolise a form of escape, a desire to flee the relationship and move on with life.
