Back To Black
!Amy Winehouse! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
I go back to
I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black
In "Back to Black," Amy Winehouse sings about the end of a relationship and the emotions that come with it. The first verse describes the betrayal she feels- her ex-lover left her without any time to regret, he cheated on her with someone he always goes back to. The chorus repeats the title phrase "back to black," which serves as a metaphor for her returning to the grief she felt before she met her ex-lover. This could be interpreted as her returning to the darker, more sorrowful side of herself. In the second verse, she acknowledges that the love she had for her ex lover was not enough to sustain the relationship, as they had different priorities - he loved drugs and she loved marijuana.
