Black In Black
AC/DS Lyrics

Back in black
I am returning, fully confident and ready to take on the world.

I hit the sack
I went to bed, feeling tired and worn out from my long absence.

I've been too long I'm glad to be back
I've been gone for too long, and now it feels great to finally be back where I belong.

Yes, I'm let loose
I am no longer restrained or confined.

From the noose
From the trap or danger that had me stuck.

That's kept me hanging about
That's kept me waiting and uncertain for a long time.

I've been looking at the sky
I've been gazing upward, feeling carefree and exhilarated.

'Cause it's gettin' me high
Because it's giving me a sense of euphoria and elation.

Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
Don't worry about my death, because I always manage to survive.

I got nine lives
I have many opportunities to recover from setbacks or danger, just like a cat.

Cat's eyes
Eyes that are keen, alert, and able to see in the dark.

Abusin' every one of them and running wild
Taking advantage of all my chances, and living recklessly and without restraint.

'Cause I'm back
Because I have returned, ready to take control and dominate.

Well, I'm back
I have returned, with confidence and determination.

Well, I'm back, back
I have come back, and I intend to stay for a while, with more power and energy than ever before.

Well, I'm back in black
I am back in my element, in my true identity and style, which is confident, strong, and powerful.

Back in the back
In the rear seat of a luxurious car.

Of a Cadillac
An iconic American luxury car brand, famous for its high quality and prestige.

Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
I am the most highly regarded and influential person, with enough energy and authority to dominate any situation.

Yes, I'm in a bang
Yes, I am involved in an explosive and exciting situation.

With a gang
With a group of people who are like-minded, loyal, and supportive.

They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
My enemies must work hard to capture and control me, because I am too elusive and independent.

'Cause I'm back on the track
Because I have returned to my familiar and successful territory.

And I'm beatin' the flack
And I am successfully dealing with obstacles and challenges that are thrown my way.

Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
Nobody is going to falsely accuse or prosecute me again.

So look at me now
Pay attention to me, because I am now more influential and powerful than ever before.

I'm just makin' my play
I am just going about my business in a strategic and skillful way.

Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way
Don't test my patience or underestimate my abilities, or you will regret it.

Ho yeah
An expression of enthusiasm and excitement.

Oh yeah
An expression of deep satisfaction and enjoyment.

Yes I am
Yes, I am always confident and true to myself.

Back in now
Back in the present moment, with my mind focused on the future.

Well I'm back, I'm back
Well, I am back for good and ready to accomplish great things.

Back
Another expression of my confidence and strength.

Back in black
Back in my original identity and style, which is powerful, bold, and timeless.

Out of the sight
More powerful and successful than ever before, beyond the reach of my competitors or enemies.
