Amnesia
Erase the Past: Yearning for Amnesia
Lyrics
I remember how it burns, how it burns
Recalling the emotional pain, describing it as a burning sensation.
Slowly like a cigarette
Comparing the pain to the slow burn of a cigarette.
It's like water in my lungs, in my lungs
Expressing the emotional burden as if water is filling the lungs.
'Cause I'm drowning in my regret
Feeling overwhelmed by regret, as if drowning in it.
Everyday is getting worse like a curse
Describing a worsening situation every day, akin to a curse.
I'm becoming insomniac
Becoming sleepless, possibly due to emotional distress.
And I just can't get over it
Struggling to move on from a past experience.
If only I could wake up and not breathe you
Expressing a desire to wake up without the influence or memory of the person causing pain.
I wanna know how it feels not to need ya
Curiosity about the feeling of not needing the person anymore.
I wish that I could forget you, could forget you
Expressing a wish to forget the person and the associated pain.
And wake up, and wake up, and wake up
Repetition of the desire to wake up without the memories.
With amnesia
Desire to wake up with a sense of forgetfulness or amnesia.
These memories are like a stain, like a stain
Comparing memories to a stain, something indelible.
And it's branded on my brain
Describing the memories as imprinted or branded on the mind.
Oh I wanna fade away, fade away
Expressing a desire to fade away from the memories.
'Cause every stranger has your face
Seeing the face of the person in every stranger, making it harder to move on.
And if I didn't know my name, it's ok
Accepting the idea of forgetting one's own identity if it means erasing the person from memory.
Girl as long as you're erased
Willingness to sacrifice personal identity to be free from the memories.
'Cause I just can't get over it
Continued struggle to overcome the emotional attachment.
If only I could wake up and not breathe you
Reiteration of the desire to wake up without the person in thoughts.
I wanna know how it feels not to need ya
Curiosity about the experience of not needing the person anymore.
I wish that I could forget you, could forget you
Repeating the wish to forget and move on from the memories.
And wake up, and wake up, and wake up
Repetition of the desire to wake up without the memories.
With amnesia
Desire for a state of forgetfulness or amnesia upon waking up.
Who said it's better to have loved
Challenging the notion that it's better to have loved and lost, suggesting it's not true.
Then to have never loved at all
Rejecting the idea that having loved is superior to never having loved at all.
They were wrong, they were wrong
Declaring the inaccuracy of the belief that loving and losing is preferable.
'Cause nothing will ever compare
Stating that nothing will compare to the pain of the current experience.
If only I could wake up and not breathe you
Reiteration of the desire to wake up without the person in thoughts.
I wanna know how it feels not to need ya
Curiosity about the experience of not needing the person anymore.
Wish that I could forget you, forget you
Repeating the wish to forget and move on from the memories.
And wake up, and wake up, and wake up
Repetition of the desire to wake up without the memories.
With amnesia
Desire for a state of forgetfulness or amnesia upon waking up.
I wish that I could forget you, forget you
Repeating the wish to forget and move on from the memories.
And wake up, and wake up, and wake up
Repetition of the desire to wake up without the memories.
With amnesia
Desire for a state of forgetfulness or amnesia upon waking up.
