Rewind
American Bang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He asked her to dance
And I was ready to die
Wish I could push rewind
Two-car crash in the blink of an eye
I had one too many
And I ran the light
Would it be alright if I could
Spin this world back around
If I could right some wrongs
If I could up some downs
If I could fix it all with time
If only I could rewind
Why am I hell bent to make her cry?
One day I'll go so far
When there were tear in her eyes
Wish I could push rewind
When I'm living this thing in fast forward
I'm gonna break it down
On the broken moments
And push rewind
And it would be alright if I could
Spin this world back around
If I could right some wrongs
If I could up some downs
If I could fix it all with time
If only I could rewind
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
And it would be alright if I could
And it would be alright if I could
Spin this world back around
If I could right some wrongs
If I could up some downs
If I could fix it all with time
If only I could rewind
The lyrics to American Bang's song Rewind convey a sense of regret and a longing for a second chance. The first verse describes a bar fight and a desire to undo the actions that led up to it. The second verse references a two-car crash caused by the singer being under the influence, again expressing a desire to turn back time and change the outcome. The chorus contains the repeated phrase "If only I could rewind," emphasizing the theme of the song. In the third verse, the lyrics take a darker turn, with the singer questioning why they seem to want to make someone cry and expressing a fear of going too far. However, the chorus remains the same, further emphasizing the theme of wishing for a second chance.
The use of the word "rewind" in the title and throughout the lyrics invokes the action of rewinding a video or audio recording to replay a particular moment. This suggests that the singer is experiencing their life as if it were a recording that they can't change in the moment, but wish they could go back and edit or redo.
Overall, American Bang's Rewind is a poignant reflection on the human experience of regret and a desire to go back in time to change the past.
