ANYTHING GOES by Ana (2024)

ANYTHING GOES

Share:

Sometimes I wish I was born again
And saw the world through child's eyes
I want to be careless and free again
With nothing but beauty within
Where every day is a special day
And the future is something ahead
That forest where you and I used to play
The flowers are gone, trees are dead

Anything goes
Anything, if just for a moment
Anything goes
Anything to bring dreams to life

If I could go back to those times again
I'd spend every moment with you
Those beautiful castles we made of sand
Were washed away out in the blue

Anything goes
Anything, if just for a moment
Anything goes
Anything to bring dreams to life

Anything goes
Anything, if just for a moment
Anything goes
Something to turn back time
Something that I used to know

Something to bring dreams to life
Anything goes

The lyrics of "Anything Goes" by Ana's Song reflect the nostalgic longing of the singer to revisit a time when life was simpler and free of adult responsibilities and concerns. The singer wishes to return to a time when they were carefree and innocent like a child, seeing the world through their eyes and perceiving only the beauty in things. The imagery of a forest where the singer and another person used to play is used to suggest the idyllic nature of the past, where every day held special meaning, and the future held endless possibilities. However, the reality of the present is starkly contrasted with the past as the flowers are gone and the trees are dead, highlighting how the singer's desires remain unfulfilled in the present.

The chorus of the song, "Anything goes, anything to bring dreams to life", emphasizes the singer's comfort in being able to dream and imagine a better reality. The repetition of the phrase 'anything goes' is used to suggest a willingness to live in the present and take risks without fear of the consequences. The singer's desire to spend every moment with the other person and to return to the beautiful castles they made out of sand suggests a close relationship between the two where the past holds many happy memories. The final lines of the song, "Something to turn back time, something that I used to know, something to bring dreams to life, anything goes" emphasizes the difficulty of the singer's situation but they still believe that anything is possible if they stay true to their dreams.

Sometimes I wish I was born again
Occasionally, I desire to have another chance at life and start over.

And saw the world through child's eyes
To experience life with the innocence and wonder of a child.

I want to be careless and free again
I long for a time when I felt completely unburdened and liberated.

With nothing but beauty within
To be filled with nothing but pure and unadulterated beauty.

Where every day is a special day
In a place where every day feels like an extraordinary occasion.

And the future is something ahead
A future where there is always something to chase after and aim for.

That forest where you and I used to play
The memory of a lush woodland where the singer used to have fun with someone dear.

The flowers are gone, trees are dead
The bleak reality is that the place where they once found solace and entertainment is now barren.

Anything goes
Anything is possible, no matter how outrageous.

Anything, if just for a moment
One moment where anything is acceptable, no matter how short-lived.

Anything to bring dreams to life
Whatever it takes to make your dreams a reality.

If I could go back to those times again
If it were possible to revisit happy days of the past.

I'd spend every moment with you
The singer wants to devote as much time as possible with someone special.

Those beautiful castles we made of sand
A cherished memory of creating magnificent sandcastles with that special someone.

Were washed away out in the blue
Their creation, along with those joyful moments, was terminated by the tide.

Something to turn back time
In case time travel were feasible, something to change in the past.

Something that I used to know
The memory of something that once existed but is now gone.

Something to bring dreams to life
Whatever is required to allow your fantasies to become reality.

Anything goes
Anything is within the realm of possibility.
