Sing It Back
10. Moloko - Sing It Back Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me and do as you will
Have what you want, your way's always the best way
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully falling away
I am the zombie, your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees
Lost in the fire below
And you come running your eyes will be open
And when you come back, I'll be as you want me
Only so eager to please
My little song will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I sing
(Sing it back to me)
(Sing it back to me)
No, you can't help it if you have been tempted
By fruit hanging ripe on the tree
And I feel useless
Don't care what the truth is
You will be here come the day
Truth do you hear me?
Don't try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie
If you desire to lay here beside me
Come to my sweet melody
Sing it back to me (sing it)
Bring it back (sing it)
Sing it back (sing it)
Bring it back
Sing it back to me
(Sing it) bring it back (sing it) sing it back (sing it) bring it back
Sing it back to me
(Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it back to me)
(Sing it back to me, sing it, sing it, bring it back to me)
Bring it back
Sing it back
Bring it back
Sing it back to me
(Sing it) bring it back
(Sing it) sing it back
(Sing it) bring it back
Sing it back to me
(Sing it) bring it back
(Sing it) sing it back
(Sing it) bring it back
Sing it back to me
(Sing it) bring it back
(Sing it) sing it back
(Sing it) bring it back
Sing it back to me
Bring it back
Sing it back
Bring it back
Sing it back to me
Bring it back
Sing it back
Bring it back
Sing it back to me
The lyrics of Moloko's "Sing It Back" speak of submission and surrender to a longed-for object or person. The singer, who is willing to give up control and let themselves be directed, describes the pleasure they derive from being commanded. The song implies that the person the singer is speaking to has the power to make them feel alive, and that they are willing to do anything to please them. The chorus, which is repeated several times, is an invitation to the object of the singer's desire to return to them and bring them closer through music.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for love, pleasure, or even addiction. The singer's willingness to be controlled and their need for the object of their desire suggest a deep longing for something that they cannot obtain on their own. However, the song also speaks to the power dynamics of relationships, where one person has more control than the other, and the pleasures and dangers that come with such imbalances. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus suggest that the singer is not unhappy with their submission and is instead reveling in the power dynamics of their situation.
