No Turning Back
Che Zuro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't keep from looking back
When I look into your eyes
If I could make one wish
I'd turn back the hands of time
I try to feel the love we knew
But the love's no longer inside you.

No turning back
What's done is done
No turning back
The end has come
No turning back
No hope for love
No turning back
To what was our's the end has come.

My love was all you had
Picking up the pieces of your broken heart
And then I turned away
And every single word we had was torn apart
I had to let my feelings show
I just can't seem to let you go.

No turning back
What's done is done
No turning back
The end has come
No turning back
No hope for love




No turning back
To what was our's the end has come.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Che Zuro's "No Turning Back" reflect the regret and longing that one might feel after the end of a relationship. The first stanza touches on the feeling of nostalgia and the desire to go back in time to relive the happy moments with a former partner. However, the reality is that the love between the two individuals is gone and cannot be resurrected. The second verse speaks to the pain of loss, as the person singing was once the source of love for their partner, but they turned away and caused the relationship to fall apart. Despite trying to hold on to the past, the singer is forced to accept that there is no hope for the love they once shared and that the end has come.


The chorus, with its repetition of "no turning back," drives home the message that the past cannot be undone and that the relationship is truly over. The use of the phrase "what's done is done" emphasizes the finality of the situation and the impossibility of going back. The sense of resignation in the lyrics is heightened by the line "no hope for love," which suggests that the singer has given up on finding happiness with their former partner.


Overall, "No Turning Back" is a poignant meditation on the pain of loss and the feeling of being unable to let go of a past relationship. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced the end of a romantic connection and the struggle to come to terms with the fact that it is truly over.


Line by Line Meaning

Can't keep from looking back
I find it hard not to reminisce


When I look into your eyes
Whenever I gaze into your eyes


If I could make one wish
In case I had a single wish


I'd turn back the hands of time
I would reverse the clock


I try to feel the love we knew
I attempt to relive the love we had


But the love's no longer inside you.
Unfortunately, you no longer have any love left.


No turning back
It's irreversible


What's done is done
There's no changing what has already happened


The end has come
It's over


No hope for love
There's no chance of love


To what was our's the end has come.
It marks the end of what we once had


My love was all you had
Your only source of love was me


Picking up the pieces of your broken heart
I helped you heal your wounded heart


And then I turned away
But I later withdrew from you


And every single word we had was torn apart
Our conversations fell apart and never recovered


I had to let my feelings show
I had to express my emotions candidly


I just can't seem to let you go.
Despite everything, I can't seem to forget you

It’s so crazy to see the love and nostalgia this little song brings for so many others, like it does for me. Critters was a staple, and I know it like the back of my hand. This song always stuck with me, 30 years later!

@fredfredburger5150

Power of the Night was the Critters song stuck in my head for decades by that led me to this one!

@jakepayne2985

@fred fredburger It’s been in my head for 30 years! I’m a heavy metal fan, so when this comes across my death metal playlist, it’s pretty jarring. But welcomed. It’s a great tune that reminds me of Critters and being a kid

@jay1hi547

@Jake Payne I absolutely agree with you! I even created a playlist of songs from horror movies from back in the day. I listen to them all the time to make me feel better.

@jakepayne2985

@Jay1 Hi5 Care to share the playlist? I’d love that

Such an amazing soundtrack. Always wondered why nobody ever talks about it.

@Groovy213

Why the hell would we need any other decades after this???

As a child I was scared to death by the fluffy guy looking over the window sills with his red glowing eyes. Today I love to see it multiple times every year...
