Rebounds
Constance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leaning down, looking proud
Skipping stones, on the lake
As you watch, them fall, appart, shattered
You thought, you’d bounce, and never, let the lightning
Strike your face, or once, on a rebound

Taking roads, reading signs
That no one, ever named
They made sure, not, a soul would, ever break
But then you felt, like a stab
Of greenwood, strike you down
Knees cracked in flames
Dropped like an echo
They couldn’t wait, to tell you, oh you know, he’s the worst
Of all the worst, life can deliver

You knew all, that before, but you didn’t, want to feel
All the rage, knock, at your door
Deep inside, oh you knew, they would all, be delighted
To see you fall, down in deep water
Ever since, looking proud, you drop
All these stones across the lake, your eyes full of anger

All this anger, in your eyes, that will never, ever fade
On your face, we can read, all the joy, all the pain




All this anger, in your eyes, that will never, ever fade
On your face, we can read, all the joy, all the pain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Constance's song Rebounds depict the story of someone who underestimated the effect of their actions on others, only to be hit hard by the consequences. In the first verse, the singer is depicted as someone who thought they were invincible, never expecting to be hurt by the same stones they were throwing into the lake. However, when the lightning strikes their face, they realize that they are not immune to the pain they inflict on others. The second verse is about the singer reading signs that they refuse to name, which signifies them ignoring the signs of their own behavior leading to consequences. When they are knocked down by the stab of a greenwood (most likely an allegory to something unexpected that hurts them), they realize that they were the worst and life has delivered them the worst. The singer then realizes that everyone is delighted to see them fall into deep waters, and they are full of anger- something that never fades.


Line by Line Meaning

Leaning down, looking proud
Standing confidently and looking down


Skipping stones, on the lake
Tossing rocks across a body of water


As you watch, them fall, appart, shattered
Observing the stones break apart as they hit the water


You thought, you’d bounce, and never, let the lightning
Believing you'd be resilient and avoid misfortune


Strike your face, or once, on a rebound
Experience negative consequences or setbacks


Taking roads, reading signs
Traveling and paying attention to signals


That no one, ever named
That were not explained or labeled


They made sure, not, a soul would, ever break
Ensuring that nobody would struggle or suffer


But then you felt, like a stab
Sensing a sudden and painful blow


Of greenwood, strike you down
Being hit with an unexpected and forceful blow


Knees cracked in flames
Experiencing intense pain and discomfort


Dropped like an echo
Losing power or strength suddenly


They couldn’t wait, to tell you, oh you know, he’s the worst
Others eagerly shared negative opinions about someone


Of all the worst, life can deliver
Expressing the most terrible outcome imaginable


You knew all, that before, but you didn’t, want to feel
Understanding the potential consequences, but ignoring them


All the rage, knock, at your door
Feeling consumed by anger and frustration


Deep inside, oh you knew, they would all, be delighted
Believing that others would take pleasure in your failure


To see you fall, down in deep water
Being gratified by your struggles and challenges


Ever since, looking proud, you drop
Despite difficulties, maintaining a sense of confidence


All these stones across the lake, your eyes full of anger
Continuing to throw rocks while feeling furious


All this anger, in your eyes, that will never, ever fade
Carrying unresolved bitterness and resentment forever


On your face, we can read, all the joy, all the pain
Showing clear signs of both happiness and sadness


All this anger, in your eyes, that will never, ever fade
Persistent and unchanging fury


On your face, we can read, all the joy, all the pain
Expressing emotions of both pleasure and suffering
