Amnesia Was Her Name

Amnesia Was Her Name is the third track on View-Monster and the second non-transition track on the album. Neil explained the inspiration of its lyrics at the end of the album's unfinished commentary track:

"The inspiration for this song came upon about as I pondered the feminine qualities of the word "Amnesia". I decided that it would make a pretty girl's name, were it not for its connotations of mind crippling memory loss. From there it was only natural for me to imagine how sticky a wicket it would be to develop feelings for such a woman, assuming that she is in some way a personification of actual amnesia."
