    niki teaching us we can never force how we feel for a person. if they're not it, they're not it. to you reading this, i hope u find ur new home ♡♡♡

    This is exactly how it feels when you found the person you truly admire, the person you knew you would risk to tear down all of your fortresses just to let them in. But then, you realized, you can't love them the way you wanted to, the way they need it too. You're lost, in your own chaotic world, you can't just be lost with two different reasons. So no matter how much you wanted to freeze the time to be with them, reality hits you hard. You need to let go, for the both of you.
    It'll be nice to meet them again under different circumstances. Wherein you can love them the loudest.

    niki's lyricism, imagery, storytelling and her music seeps of nostalgia to me. it's like peaking into your box of polaroids, letters, and memories from a happier time. or listening to a close friend's stories of her experiences or reading a diary entry from years ago. she puts so much detail in each scenes in her songs that it's such a honor to see such intimate memories from her. the whole album truly encapsulates what niki's music is to alot of us and how much she improved as a musician. truly a wonderful album from niki once again!

    Backburner n Anaheim are the picture of how cruel is life. When u fight for someone that doesn't love you and left the one that love you.

    Fun fact: it's called Anaheim because it's the only place she could think of that rhymed with time, even though she'd never been there at the time. bye

    This song. Being broken from someone else, healing, and meeting someone who deserves all your love is difficult - often impossible. Hope you’re doing better! Will always be my totga - better place, better time. :)

    @daystaytiny1024 Год назад +294

    This feels to me like a statement of gentle (because of how she delivers it) rejection and care for the other person. It is like saying, "This truth hurts, so let's not get hurt any further."
    As a listener, I love this sweet pain 🥲. Thank you, Niki. ❤‍🩹

    I don't know who needs to hear this but sometimes-- you have to give your "Anaheim" a chance. I did and when I finally healed, I fell for them because I was able to appreciate them for who they are instead of yearning for something that destroyed me. Best decision I ever made.

  • @te_yeahh
    @te_yeahh Год назад +84

    It's giving,
    they got what you want in a lover but you don't see them that way, and you know you can't force what you really feel.
    And could be that you're someone who is driven by practicality of putting your needs first

    In 2017, this was the song that kept me company whenever I have those insomnia nights. It feels nostalgic to hear it again in 2022. Here's to more returns of Niki's old songs. ❤️
    Edit : y'all, anyone else hopes she re-release polaroid boy? 😔😔

    NIKI inspired me to go all in with my music because she was once just like me, an artist without many listeners. And now she's on top. I believe it will happen for me one day, I’m not stopping when it does!

    I wrote a long heartfelt comment but deleted everything because i cant take the image of Nicole Zefanya and her chubby cheeks, playing her guitar singing this one song. It feels like a reunion with a long lost bestfriend :’)
    I just want to say, thank you Niki, for this, for everything. Thank you.

  • @whoisdiz21
    @whoisdiz21 9 месяцев назад +5

    ''I'm lost but not in you.''
    That line hits differently when you able to feel the hidden words of it that love is not the most abundant and simplest form of feeling sometimes the best option is to let them go even though we want to hold them tightly because of the reason we can't love them the way they want to be loved and needed to be loved. Sometimes it's not about adjusting and fighting for it but sometimes in order to keep you two out of any under circumstances the only option is to sacrifice what you tow have to cherish those engraved memories that will forever hunt you but can't do anything about it because you know your capability of loving them is not how loud they can love you.

    this song doesn't speak your heart, doesn't relate to how you feel. but this song feels like the person speaks to you, the twist, the turmoils, the fate, the unrequited itself speaks to you. and you gotta soak it in your skin, yeah, i know, the chest's paining. but you gotta soak it in before you let go and heal completely. you. can. do. it. believe me. i am myself trying to believe it too. we try together, kay?

    in ma experience, from ocean and engines broken era which 11 month ago, almost a year. i literally play it every single day while sobbing. and lately just crazy that, Anaheim related to me the most. The fact, that we play ocean and egines, without knowing it, a while ago, through the lost era, just hurt me so bad. We used really love all of niki song, didnt expect that the heartbroken one is for us. still loves you, even after 2 years we're losing each other.

    writing this here because I can't tell anyone else about this. I've loved this song long before it made sense to me. I found out he was in a longterm committed relationship because he was a tagged on a photo taken at anaheim. at a lunch with the relatives of his partner.
    we never said we'd end up together but for months he was my escape and my safe space. Being with him, I never really dug deep and pushed things. I just knew we'd never work. But finding out was the final straw for me. I still love this song.

    2 years ago, i met a person that gentle, kind, and full of love to me. One day he told me that he feel for me, i accept that feeling, i said give me some times to think bout it, later day by day i figure it out that i just want him to be my friend, no more. i feel guilty for that. how hard i have try but still the same. I'm sorry i said, but still he is my best best friend. That so i realized that feelings can't be forced

    [Verse 1]
    If I could, I'd freeze this moment, make it my home
    You're all I want to want to know
    I can tell, you mean it when you kiss me slow
    But please, don't ask me, the answer's no
    In a perfect world, I'd kill to love you the loudest
    But all I do is live to hurt you soundless
    Say, "You see I'm lying, babe" and let this go
    I can never promise you tomorrow
    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    'Cause I have yet to learn
    How not to be his
    This city will surely burn
    If we keep this as it is
    [Chorus 1]
    But I'd give anything to stop time
    And drive around Anaheim at sundown
    To teach my mind to put you first
    Here you are, a hero
    You wanna be my new home
    But baby, let up, I won't ever recognize these roads
    'Cause I am lost, but not in you
    Yes, I am lost, but not in you
    [Verse 2]
    I could spend my days studying your laugh's melody
    And I can't live with myself 'cause I know you'd die for me
    Oh, all I ask of you is please don't sleep
    On this bed of promises I can't keep
    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    'Cause I have yet to know
    How to be mine
    You can try to unearth this soul
    I swear you'll hate what you find
    (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh)
    (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh)
    (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh)
    [Chorus 2]
    But I'd give anything to stop time
    Commit to you and not crimes against the truth
    And lose sight of every divide threatening to undo this story
    But baby, I'm so sorry
    I don't think that I'll ever memorize this route
    'Cause I am lost, but not in you
    Yes, I am lost, but not in you
    (Oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

    this song has been making me let go of my ex-girlfriend. my ex and i dated for 14 months, we’ve always dreamed of our future lives and planned everything, our kids names, our house, our occupation, and our lifestyle. she was perfect in every way. we had our differences though that led to a mutual breakup. it hurts so much but this song has been making me feel sad in a good way, a way we’re if i let go, i’ll be okay and i’ll know she’ll be okay, also to remind her that i’ll be okay. she also lives in anaheim and has taken us to many different places that remind me too much of us, im not sure if i can ever go back to anaheim, unless we get back together but i just wanna grieve before we get back together tho. when niki says in her song that she probably won’t even remember the routes of anaheim because she’s lost but not in “him” i can relate so much, i’ll always remember anaheim as home. thank u niki for this song.
