Amsterdam
Spilt Milk Society Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one for you, save
Oh, I could be the one in, oh, so many ways
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
There's too many roads
They all lead the same way
There's too many roads
And it's messing with my brain
Can you feel that breeze?
Yeah, it's bombing the streets, calling for me
I could be the one you love
Let your mind get free from your body
Want you on me, comfort
I could be the one you love, love
I could find a view
A view like you
With swelling skies behind us, the moral is defined
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Will we ever find a stable state of mind?
Oh, how do we unwind when we're too that way in inclined?
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Can you feel that breeze?
Yeah, it's bombing the streets, calling for me
I could be the one you love
Let your mind get free from your body
Want you on me, comfort
I could be the one you love, love
The lyrics to "Amsterdam" by Spilt Milk Society are about finding oneself and possibly finding love in the process. The singer is hopeful that they could be the one for someone else in many ways. However, the singer is struggling with the overwhelming number of choices and paths they can take in life, saying that there are too many roads that lead the same way and it's messing with their brain. They express a desire for freedom from these thoughts and a sense of comfort, which they believe they can find in another person by letting their minds get free from their bodies.
The second verse continues this exploratory theme, with the singer saying they could find a view akin to the person they love. The mention of swelling skies behind them adds a romantic and wistful feel to the song. However, despite their admiration for the person, the singer expresses uncertainty about finding a stable state of mind and how to unwind from their thoughts when they are too inclined to overthink.
Overall, "Amsterdam" seems to be a contemplative song about finding love and solace while dealing with the constant barrage of choices and thoughts that life throws at us.

I saw you guys uploaded a music video for this song (one of my favs by the way) and I dropped everything I was doing just to check it out and I am soooo glad I did! This is the kind of vibe I need to start off my mornings haha. I am such a huge fan and I don't know why this isn't being bombarded by comments and likes. YET!!
Keep up the amazing work! :) Hopefully someday you guys can tour in the USA and I'll be the happiest gal in the world when that happens.
