Hey There!
Amaryllis is one of my top Shinedown songs that I have heard, and I really do think that it is such a wonderful song. I believe that I heard this song in December 2014, because whenever I listen to this song, it will always remind me of winter times.
I was listening to the whole of Shinedown's fourth album, also called Amaryllis, whilst I was working in IT one day. Since it is the third song on the album, I heard it right at the beginning, and from my initial listening to the album, Amaryllis was the song that impacted me the most at the time. I remember that for a long time afterwards, I always had the song in my head, and I decided to learn the chorus pretty quickly so that I could sing it in my spare time!
The meaning of Amaryllis is such a lovely one to me. First of all, it reminded me of the Greek myth about the shepherdess Amaryllis, who fell in love with a shepherd by giving him some Amaryllis flowers. My favourite line in the song is "so do I remind you of someone you never met?" because it could show that they only know this person from their dreams. Also, it is as if he is wanting her to trust him by opening up to him, by the use of the word "bloom" throughout the song. Amaryllis really is one of my favourite Song Meanings out of all of their songs!
Amaryllis is now of my favourite songs by Shinedown to sing to. Plus I can even play the song on my guitar, which is an extra bonus! If you're excited for Shinedown's fifth album like I am, let me know and we can all be excited together!
I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Amaryllis below incase you're interested!
In a while now I will feel better
I’ll face the weather before me
In a while now I’ll race the irony
And buy back each word of my eulogy
All the uninvited tragedies
Step outside
Ask yourself now
Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the moment you can’t forget
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom
Stay a while now
Undress your colors
Cause they’re like no others
I’ve ever seen
I could get used to your company
Step inside
Ask yourself now
Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the motions you can’t resist
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
In a while now
I will feel better
I will be better
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom
Amaryllis
Bloom
Amaryllis
I’ll face the weather before me
In a while now I’ll race the irony
And buy back each word of my eulogy
All the uninvited tragedies
Step outside
Ask yourself now
Where would you be without

When you finally collide
With the moment you can’t forget
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom
Stay a while now
Undress your colors
Cause they’re like no others
I’ve ever seen
I could get used to your company
Step inside
Ask yourself now
Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the motions you can’t resist
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
In a while now
I will feel better
I will be better
So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
