Back In Time
DJ OPTICAL the M.N.B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've wished I've felt no pain before
I'm a man who cried
After burying feelings deep inside
There's nothing I can hide
Like a marker in this life
Because every time I try
To turn a page it goes back from before
Step by step this fight
Has a written destiny
Have to grit my teeth
Now it's up to me
If I could go back in time
After all I've tried
To save me to save me
cause I've learnt to lose before to win
Dreams fill up my mind
But can't escape reality
Anchored to my fears
Untill i fall asleep
If I could go back in time
After all I've tried
To save me to save me
cause I've learnt to lose before to win
If i could go back in time
And after all
If i could go back in time
If I could go back in time
After all I've tried
To save me to save me
Cause I've learnt to lose before to win

Everyone else gets shot by Boris’ quil things and dies instantly . Will gets shot 3 times and doesn’t even go down haha
Sparda Kurkov
To be fair, most of Boris' other victims were shot right in the head, into the brain
J was only hit in the shoulders
Grace Giver
@Sparda Kurkov Sometimes Boris gets them in the Chest.
Sparda Kurkov
@Grace Giver maybe, but it still takes longer to die from a shot to the chest (so long as it's not directly in the heart) than if the shot goes through your brain
Grace Giver
@Sparda Kurkov Precisely the reason he aims for the Heart or forehead.

Does anyone else notice that he shoots to different times when Will Smith attacks him again
Perzane
Boris was shooting at him and went: Left, right, left.
Then they time jump and the shots go: Right, Left, left, right???
Edgar Alonzo
@Perzane I've ways wondered the same thing
Ellie G.
@Edgar Alonzo it’s because Boris started getting confused and disorientated when jay was dodging all of his attacks. He wasn’t cold and calculative after his first two shots were dodged. So he changed up his attack hoping to get the upper hand
Edgar Alonzo
@Ellie G. Thank you! That makes a whole lot of sense now
