Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna go back now

The seasons may come and your luck may just run out
And all that you'll have is a memory, oh

The seasons may come and your luck may just run out
And all that you'll have is a memory, oh

The seasons may come and your luck may just run out
And all that you'll have is a memory, oh

The seasons may come and your luck may just run out
And all that you'll have is a memory, oh

Used to get real high
Now I'm just gettin' a buzz

Used to get real high
Now I'm just gettin' a buzz





Used to get real high
Now I'm just gettin' a buzz

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of И. С. Бах — Страсти по Матфею's song Part II can be interpreted in a variety of ways, but one possible interpretation is that it speaks to the fleeting nature of life and regret over missed opportunities. The repeated refrain of "I just wanna go back now" suggests a longing to return to a time when things were simpler and easier, perhaps before the singer made mistakes or missed chances. The reference to seasons changing and luck running out implies that time is slipping away and that the singer feels powerless to stop it. The line "all that you'll have is a memory" reinforces this idea that life is fleeting and that what we do with our time matters.


The second stanza introduces a contrast between past and present, with the singer reflecting on how their experience of getting high has changed over time. The repetition of "used to get real high / now I'm just gettin' a buzz" suggests a sense of nostalgia for a time when the singer was able to experience things more intensely, even if those experiences were not always positive. This contrast may be meant to highlight the singer's sense of loss and regret, as they look back on their life and realize that they can never truly return to the past.


Line by Line Meaning

I just wanna, I just wanna
There is a strong desire to go back to a previous time or situation.


The seasons may come and your luck may just run out
Life is unpredictable and one's fortune can change at any time.


And all that you'll have is a memory, oh
In the end, the only thing that remains is the memory of what was and what could have been.


Used to get real high
In the past, there was a stronger and more intense experience.


Now I'm just gettin' a buzz
Currently, the experience is less intense and satisfying.

Heard this song from a Linn Records collection, loved it! There's a serenity in her voice, but didn't know who sang it. Just came across this version and thought the voice sounds just like the girl from Linn Records. Did a little bit googling and now I finally found who the singer is, very happy!
