Back To Me
Building 429 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words heart when they come from an empty heart
Then time stops like the hand of a broken clock
And everything that lit up your life is covered in the darkness
I know, I know
I feel your pain
I know, I know
You're crying out but there is no answer
When you call, just close your eyes and know that
This twisted road eventually, is gonna lead you back to Me
Ice melts to reveal a frozen soul
And the water rises to new suffocating heights
And it feels like you're drowning in desperation
Cause everything that lit up your life has been covered in the darkness
I know I know
I feel your pain
I know I know, you know the way
When the world is closing in, you're breaking down
You're crying out but there is no answer
When you call, just close your eyes and know that
This twisted road eventually, is gonna lead you back to Me
The lyrics to Building 429's song "Back to Me" seem to be a call out to someone who is going through rough times and feeling lost. The opening lines, "Tears burn like the flame of the fire, Words hurt when they come from an empty heart, Then time stops like the hand of a broken clock, And everything that lit up your life is covered in the darkness," paint a vivid picture of someone who is in a lot of emotional pain. The imagery used here is intense and evocative, conveying the idea of someone who is struggling to find their way back to the light.
The chorus of "Back to Me" offers a message of hope, suggesting that while the road back may be "twisted," eventually they will find their way back to a better place. "When the world is closing in, you're breaking down, You're crying out but there is no answer, When you call, just close your eyes and know that, This twisted road eventually, is gonna lead you back to Me." The repetition of the word "know" serves to emphasize the idea that there is hope, despite the despair that may seem overwhelming in the moment. Ultimately, this song is a message of reassurance, reminding listeners that although the journey may be difficult, there is always a path forward towards healing and recovery.
