Christina Parie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't have a reason left to fight
Shut out this pain I feel tonight
I'm barely breathing
I know that our hearts don't understand
I can't ecen keep you as a friend
Not even God can make amends
There are no rules, only consequences
Something we just can't undo
Running away from your lies and deceptions
'Cause I've had enough of you
So get real (get real)
Get a life (get a life)
Get a grip, I'm gonna start tonight
Big deal (big deal)
You and I (you and I)
'Cause we never really got it right
Here we are, we don't have to pretend no more
And I'm all dried up inside
Make it real (make it real)
Make it right (make it right)
Let it go
I'm gonna come back to life
Starting tonight
Why do we always fight this fight?
How did our fate get so denied?
Shut up and listen to me now
There is a reason (there is a reason)
I didn't dream for this at all
I didn't mean for us to fall
There are no rules, only consequences
Something we just can't undo
What do you do when you're weak and defenseless?
Running away from the truth
So get real (get real)
Get a life (get a life)
Get a grip, I'm gonna start tonight
Big deal (big deal)
You and I (you and I)
'Cause we never really got it right
Here we are, we don't have to pretend no more
And I'm all dried up inside
Make it real (make it real)
Make it right (make it right)
Let it go
I'm gonna come back to life
I'm so sorry, I'm not sorry
Now we've reached the end of story
I'm not gonna follow us down
Don't you worry, worry 'bout me
This is not a safe place to be
I'm not gonna say this and drown
There's no excuse, only consequences
It's time that you face the truth
Get real
Get a life
Get a grip
Make it right
Big deal
You and I
Get a grip
Make it right
Whoa oh oh oh
So get real (get real)
Get a life (get a life)
Get a grip, I'm gonna start tonight
Big deal
You and I
'Cause we never really got it right
Here we are, we don't have to pretend no more
And I'm all dried up inside
Take a chance (take a chance)
Make it right (make it right)
Let it go
I'm gonna come back to life
Back to life
Back to life
Back to life
The lyrics of Christina Parie's song Back To Life is about a relationship that has ended, where the singer has reached the point of no return, and is ready to move on. From the first stanza alone, it is clear that the characters in the song are dealing with a lot of hurt and disappointment. There is no more reason to stay and fight because the pain has grown too much to handle. The next line, "I'm barely breathing," indicates how much the situation has taken a toll on the singer. They are all dried up inside, and there is nothing left to do but start anew.
The following stanza talks about how the singer cannot even keep the person as a friend, and even God cannot help in mending the situation. The line 'there are no rules, only consequences' is powerful because it implies that everything that has happened in their relationship will have a lasting effect. The chorus repeats the lines 'get real, get a life, get a grip,' and 'make it right' because the singer has decided that no more time will be wasted on this relationship. They're taking charge of their life and moving on, and it's time for the other person to take responsibility for their actions.
Overall, the song tells a story about a person who's had enough of a toxic relationship and is ready to move on. It's a powerful, emotional song that conveys the message of self-care and self-love.

Beautiful...
Is original song or it's the veronicas originally performed?
PedRO Disukooo
The song was written and recorded by them for the album "Life On Mars", but since it was never released they gave it to Christina for her EP.
I prefer the original sung by The Veronicas ♥
