Amber Lyrics
Life is just a situation
Life is just a game
Life is just a whirlpool
And it's calling out my name
Amber were the autumn leaves
And amber was her skin
Amber was the evening
When the whirlpool pulled her in
It was irresistible
Was what she used to say
Like the sound of running horses
Early in the day
Life is just a game
Life is just a whirlpool
And it's calling out my name
And amber was her skin
Amber was the evening
When the whirlpool pulled her in
Was what she used to say
Like the sound of running horses
Early in the day

This first verse talks about how life is fun and exciting. The “whirlpool” could symbolize a person getting lost in the chaos that is life. “Calling out my name” could represent finding meaning in life.
“It was irresistible Was what she used to say”
Amber finds that being sucked into the whirlpool of life is irresistible because it is fun to be alive. Overall this so is about the beauty of being alive and having fun.
