New album 'Buzz' - coming August 9th, 2024. Pre-save / pre-order now: NIKI.lnk.to/Buzz Official lyric video for “Anaheim” by NIKI
New album “Nicole” out now: niki.lnk.to/Ni...
Nicole Tour dates & tickets: nikizefanya.com
[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
[VERSE 2]
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 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 sun down
And 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 3]
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 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
Oooh
Oooh
[CHORUS 2]
But I'd give anything to stop time,
Commit to you and not crimes
Against your 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
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

''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.
