Back To Black
Amy Winehouse | www.musicadownloads.net Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy

You went back to what you knew
So far removed
From all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked

I'll go back to black
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her

And I go back to

I go back to... us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe

And I'm a tiny penny
Rolling up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times

You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times

You go back to her
And I go back to
Black, black, black, black

Black, black, black
I go back to
I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times




You go back to her
And I go back to black

Overall Meaning

The song "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse is a heartbreaking portrayal of a love that has gone wrong. The lyrics describe a relationship that has ended, where the man has gone back to his old ways and the woman, torn apart by heartbreak, has resorted to self destructive habits. The opening lines "He left no time to regret, kept his dick wet with his same old safe bet" suggest that the man has moved on quickly without any consideration for the woman he left behind. Meanwhile, the woman is trying to hold her head high and move on, promising to "get on without my guy".


However, it soon becomes clear that she is struggling to let go, as she sings "we only said goodbye with words, I died a hundred times". The line "my odds are stacked, I'll go back to black" hints at the self destructive tendencies that follow as she tries to cope with the pain, with "black" being a metaphor for a dark, bleak state of mind. The final verse, where she talks about their differing drug preferences, serves to emphasise the toxic and ultimately unsustainable nature of their relationship.


Overall, "Back to Black" is an incredibly moving and poignant depiction of a relationship that has fallen apart. It is a song about heartbreak, addiction, and self-destruction, and the lyrics are a perfect reflection of the depth of emotion that Amy Winehouse was able to convey through her music.
