Part I
И. С. Бах — Страсти по Матфею Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the same time I'm in the same spot too
The room was kept in
'Bout the same way you left it
With about the threats you mess in attitude
Where ya' been with all your grin
Until all your friends turn their backs on you
Reminiscing over what you've been missing
That's taboo
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
I used to get real high, now I
But now I'm just gettin' a buzz
I wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was
If you win, no matter if you lose
You got to come back again
Pay some dues
Back in Richmond, shit ain't changed a bit in
Niggas with a little piss in got some attitudes
I been wondering if I can love again
So if you're wondering about the shape I'm in
I hope it ain't my abdomen that you're referring to
Seasons may come and your luck just may run out
And all that you'll have is some memories, oh
Seasons may come and your luck just may run out
And all that you'll have is some memories, oh
Seasons may come and your luck just may run out
And all that you'll have is some memories, oh
Seasons may come and your luck just may run out
And all that you'll have is some memories, oh
Said I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I used to get real high
Now I'm just getting' a buzz, now, now, now
I said back to the way it was, now, now, now
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I just wanna go back, baby
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
I used to get real high
Now I'm just getting' a buzz, now, now, now
Back to the way it was, now, now, now
It's important to note that the lyrics provided are not for И. С. Бах — Страсти по Матфею's song Part I, but rather for a different song. However, we can still analyze the lyrics and their meaning.
The lyrics suggest a longing for a past relationship or time in somebody's life. The first verse describes the feeling of being stuck in one spot while moving at the speed of light, which could represent feeling like time is passing by quickly but not moving forward emotionally. The room being left the same way as when the person left it could symbolize a sense of stagnation and an inability to move on.
The second verse talks about coming back to a place and facing the same issues and attitudes as before, with a sense of resignation and acceptance. The line "I been wondering if I can love again" suggests that the person is hesitant to open up to new experiences and relationships, perhaps due to past hurt. The repeated chorus of "I just wanna go back, baby, back to the way it was" emphasizes the desire to go back to a time when things were simpler and easier.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past, mixed with a feeling of resignation and the realization that time moves on and things change.
