Ana's Song (Open Fire) Lyrics
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the filth
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
I love you to the bones
And ana wrecks your life
Like an anorexia life
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you
"ana" is an abriviation for anorexia. Mainly people in the "pro-ana" community use the word ana. Pro-ana people are people who believe that eating disorders are a lifestyle choice and not a disease. "Please die ana" is where he is talking about how he wants his eating disorder to go away.
I know this because i suffer from anorexia, but i am NOT pro-ana.
Yes, but he SUFFERED from anorexia. it would make sense that this song was about that.
song IS about Ana (i call Anorexia Ana and Bulimia Mia)
Please die ana For as long as you're here we're not (he want) You make the sound of laughter And sharpened nails seem softer (the sound of laughter after vomit and the sharpen nails down the throat look like a victory) And I need you now somehow And I need you now somehow (needs Ana to make him feel pretty)
Open fire on the needs designed (again wants to get rid, the 'needs designed) On my knees for you (begging for Ana to forgive him, on his knees to purge) Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you (vomit on his knees, needing to have control over himself)
the rest of the song explains itself.
I am so in love w/ this song. It is so beautifuly written,and how he expresses his pain I can totally relate to is amazing, excellent song..Excellent band :-)
I wish Silverchair would have produced an acoustic version of this song. This is one of those songs that everyone knows about and bruns lighters at the concert due to the wonderful lyrical element and passion in this song. Expression of pain is the key to survival, and in that case, he will survive forever. Listen and Feel.
the song is about daniel johns (singer) problem with anorexia "and ana wreks your life" wich he fortunatly overcome
moostah, there is an acoustic version. it's on their greatest hits cd.
Daniel Johns went through a period of time in which he was suffering from anorexia. That's what this song is about, plan and simple. Ana = anorexia. It's an obvious meaning, and it's been pointed out by Daniel Johns himself in many interviews. Sometimes I think people try to hard to find meaning in something that they over look what's obvious.
Bloodykiss is right. People overlook too much&this song is so damn beautiful. So is Daniel Johns.
I agree, Daniel Johns is quite gorgeous. xP
I agree, Daniel Johns is quite gorgeous. xP
you all suck. i thought it was about him being in love with a girl named ana who he couldn't have but made him incredibly happy, but you all squashed that cute little dream, didn't you?
xD It could be interpreted as that. xP It's art, it can be interpreted in many ways, and although in terms of lyrics and what they're about there can technically be a right or wrong answer according to the writer, there can't really be to anyone else, because, I mean... how much can you trust of what anyone in the media--or for that matter, in this world--says about anyone else?
