Don't look back
10.3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember who I was
I'm not going back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost
I remember who I was
I'm not going back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost
Light up, if you understand it
Light up, you feel where I'm coming from, from
Light up, if you understand it
Light up, you feel where I'm coming from, from

When I wake up in the morning
All I think about is smoking
Make a cup of coffee
I need it cuz I'm yawning
Calling out to karma
Why the fuck I got these problems
Thinking I could make a come up
Then I'm looking down I'm falling
And I'm hoping I could get away
From pain I know its cold
Yeah I'm hoping I could fly away
Drop it I can go
I wonder why its cold today
No we dont really know
But I'm focused on this road I made
Cuz I ain't losing hope
Chose to go alone I ghosted em
Oh God I lost control
I overdosed I chose to go
A ghost to take my soul
Broke the mold and hope was gone
But I take another toke
Drove it off I broke it off
I can't go back down that road

I remember who I was
I'm not going back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost
I remember who I was
I'm not going back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost
Light up, if you understand it
Light up, you feel where I'm coming from, from
Light up, if you understand it
Light up, you feel where I'm coming from, from

I remember who I was
Good man with a heart of gold
Gotta mourn him though because
That version is no more
That person is long gone
Stranded on the side of the road
While I'm staring through my rearview
Trying hard not to implode
Got me hoping I can fly away
But the weight too much to hold
Guess I gotta release it right away
And follow my new road
You only fail when you stop
And I aint stopping im on GO
Pedal touching metal
On my way back to my flow
No longer who I used to be
I'm better
Gotta level up consistently
Go getter
Gotta make sure every move I make
Is measured
No longer begging now I'm choosing
Thats forever

I remember who I was
I'm not going back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost
I remember who I was
I'm not going back where I started from
Don't look back, I'm gone
Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost
Light up, if you understand it
Light up, you feel where I'm coming from, from




Light up, if you understand it
Light up, you feel where I'm coming from, from
