Amnesia
The Sunlit Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and you never looked back
You let things slide
Amnesia
She calls it amnesia
But you will find new way to justify anything you did
But honey it works only for a whlie
Just blame it on amnesia
That's what you do
That's what you do
Sun is up and you know it better
Snow will melt as I make my way back home
Run, run, run away until you reach the blind street
I don't know if it makes my heart stop
or if it makes my heart beat
Run, run, run away until you reach...
Got to do the same
Got to send this love down to the graveyard
We are long dead
Head back back to the ground, och...
Do you really belive that moment of bliss
could be ever enough to fulfil your life
till the very end?
It's just like amnesia
And now I ask my self have I ever lived?
Have I buried my life and only dreamed for this whole time?
Infected with amnesia
I got from you
I got form you
Morning comes and you know it better
We're just one step closer to the grave
Run, run, run away until you reach the blind street
I don't know if it makes my heart stop
or if it makes my heart beat
Run, run, run away until you reach...
Got to do the same
Got to send this love down to the graveyard
I'm stuck forever somwhere in the middle
A sip of tea washed down wit a clod drink
I could never live that way again
Run, run, run away until... you're done
The lyrics to "Amnesia" by The Sunlit Earth depict a person who has buried their past and is in denial about the impact of their actions. The lines "You buried your past in hermetic bag, and you never looked back" suggest that the person has repressed their memories and moved on without addressing them. The chorus "Amnesia, she calls it amnesia" alludes to the person's justification for their behavior. They believe that forgetting their past will absolve them of responsibility for their actions. However, the lyrics note that this mindset only works for a while, and the person will eventually have to take responsibility. The lines, "But honey, it works only for a while, just blame it on amnesia, that's what you do," suggest that the person is not taking responsibility for their actions.
The song continues to explore the theme of denial through the chorus, "Run, run, run away until you reach the blind street." The person is running away from their past, and they will not be able to move forward until they confront it. The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of life, "Morning comes, and you know it better, we're just one step closer to the grave." The person is wasting their life by not addressing their past and living in denial. The song concludes with the realization that the person's way of life is unsustainable, "A sip of tea washed down with a cold drink, I could never live that way again."
