Anymore
Surf Rock is Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't believe anything
I don't want do this anymore
You and I were something once before
I should believe anything
I can tell there's something going on
Measure time in microseconds
Will arise…
I don't want to see you anymore
You and I were something once before
I should believe anything
I don't want to see you anymore
I don't believe anything
Remember patterns all that mattered
Speaking softly won't defuse a thing
Bringing back the memories that
Wash in a resurgence
Or a wave…
So tell yourself
To make amends
I know it's hard
The past is then
Look at all
The mess that's made
Words just spill out
Oh not again
I don't want to be here anymore
You and I were something once before
I should believe anything
The lyrics of "Anymore" by Surf Rock is Dead depicts the emotional stages of a broken relationship. The opening line of "I don't want to do this anymore" suggests that the singer has reached their limit and doesn't want to put any more effort into the relationship. The repetition of "I don't believe anything" further shows that the trust in the relationship has been lost. The line "You and I were something once before" implies that the relationship was once happy and meaningful, however, it is no longer the case.
The line "Measure time in microseconds" suggests that the relationship has become volatile and one of the partners is constantly measuring the time between conflicts. The singer expresses their desire to end the relationship with the lyrics "I don't want to see you anymore, I don't believe anything." The chorus of the song, which repeats several times, shows how the singer is struggling with the memories of the past and the pain of ending the relationship.
The verses of the song describe the memory of past patterns and how things won't change by just speaking softly. The line "Words just spill out, Oh not again" suggests that the singer is tired of hearing the same empty promises. The final chorus of the song shows that the singer has made the decision to end the relationship for good, and they don't want to be a part of it anymore, no matter how much they may have believed in the past.
