The song "Ani" by Billy Howerdel tells the story of a failed relationship where both parties are holding onto something that is no longer there. They are struggling to move on and confront the reality that their love has died. The lyrics use the metaphor of a ship on fire, which represents their relationship and the intensity of their emotions. Despite their intentions being pure, they "played God" with each other's hearts and are now lost in the flames of their failed love. The chorus repeats the phrase "Another wave's on the way" which represents the inevitability of change and the passing of time. The couple is pretending that there is something left to try, but in reality, they are at the point where they should just say goodbye. The song also touches on the idea of echo chambers and the consequences of living in a world of constant lies and lost lessons. Overall, "Ani" is a melancholic reflection on the pain and confusion of a relationship that has run its course, and the struggle to move on and face the future.
