Back In My Life
De Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to be so happy
Don't ask me why
I became so ugly
Go back in time
And try to find the answer
But don't hope to find
What is now out of time
Out of the blue
You break into the silence
And all that we need me and you
Is spiritual guidance
Now I can see
Our love was always dying
And today I regret
All the joy that we had
All I feel is emptiness instead
I used to be so happy
I used to be so happy
I used to be so happy
Now it's gone, so long
Turn of the tide
I feel it coming back to me
Made up my mind
You will never be close to me
Back in my life
I used to be so happy
Now I'm breaking the back
Of what is breaking my neck
All I want is tenderness instead
The song "Back In My Life" by De Vision is a melancholic reflection of a once-happy relationship that has now soured. The lyrics are about a past love that the singer desperately longs to have back in his life, but he is aware that their time together is over, and it leaves him with nothing but emptiness. He is unable to find answers regarding why their love has died and spends his time reminiscing about what was once a beautiful bond.
The singer is haunted by the memories of the time when he was happy and in love. However, he recognizes that his attempts to recapture the past are fruitless. He feels spiritually lost and seeks guidance to help him find his footing. The song hints that the singer has lost his sense of identity and is now struggling to come to terms with the reality of his situation.
The lyrics are beautifully written and filled with emotion, making it easy for listeners to empathize with the singer's woes. The song is a poignant reminder that sometimes relationships don't always go as planned, leaving one feeling empty and lost.

Not David Gahan, but I seriously just discovered this band, and my first thought was, I love this, finally someone who reminds me of the talented Depeche Mode, and he sounds so much like David it's scary. This band seriously needs more publicity because they are incredible.

Honestly, can't find any resemblance with DM apart from using synthesizers and clean vocals. Totally different (and unique) mood, vocal timbre and singing manner. Don't depreciate this great band by declaring them being some other band's copy. I discovered them after DM and they brought me a brand new music world.
