Rewind
♫ Stereophonics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's your time
It's your day
It's never too late
To change lanes
How's your life?
How's your place?
Was it where you wanted
Your head to lay?

But wait, you can breathe
You can see what I can see
Don't waste your time
You can't make back

If you could rewind your time
Would you change your life?
Rewind your time
Would you change your life?

Do you like you?
Do you love your wife?
Or did you pick what
You're told was right?

Dream and be
What you feel
Don't you compromise
What you wanna be

'Cause change is okay
What's the point in staying the same
Regrets, forget what's dead and gone

If you could rewind your time
Would you change your life?
Rewind your time
Would you change your life?

If Jesus rode in on a camel today
With your cross on his shoulder
Time to take you away

Have you done all you wanted?
Are you happy and warm?
Do you miss someone special
You don't see anymore?

Have you blood on your hands?
Do you dream of white sands?
Can you sleep well at night?
Have you done all you can?

The place I was born in
Stays crooked and straight
I see innocent blue eyes
Go blind everyday

Rewind your time
Would you change your life
Rewind your time
Would you change your life
Today,
Today,
Today,




Today,
Today

Overall Meaning

"Rewind" is a song that encourages listeners to take control of their lives, to examine the things they're doing and make changes where necessary. The song begins with the singer pointing out that "it's your time" and "your day," and that it's never too late to "change lanes." He asks the listener to think about their life and whether it's where they want it to be, whether they're happy with the way things have turned out. The singer makes it clear that there's no need to waste time, that we should seize the moment and make the most of it.


The chorus focuses on the idea of rewinding time and changing one's life. If we had the chance to go back and do things differently, would we take it? Would we do things differently if we could? The song seems to suggest that we should be proactive about change, that we shouldn't wait for things to happen to us. Instead, we should take action to create the life we want. The song ends with a powerful and poignant image of innocent blue eyes going blind every day, a reminder that life is fleeting and precious, and that we should take the time to appreciate it.

Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
So use it and prove it
Remove this whirling sadness
I'm losing I'm bluesing
But you can't save me from madness

Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me
Nobody knows it but you've got a secret smile
And you use it only for me

So save me I'm waiting
I'm needing, hear me pleading
And soothe me, improve me
I'm grieving, I'm barely believing it now, now

When you are flying around and around the world
And I'm lying a lonely
I know there's something sacred and free reserved
And received by me only
