Come Back
Denyah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to get to the eye of it
I keep Bic lighters around so I keep the fire lit
Always kinda wanted to disappear
Cuz people love a comeback
And I could use some time away from here
People love a comeback
People love a comeback
I wish we'd leave and never come back
Here
I endure
And I get bored
Just do my chores
And mind my own
Out of sight is out of mind
So I just hide
And ride alone
Gotten used to eggshells littering the floor
I'm light as a feather, you're stiff as a board
Therapy in cold coffee and when you're lying next to me
You suffer in the midst of me
You suffer in my misery
Wonder what keeps you so close
Wonder why you love me most
But fears aside I raise a toast
Wonder what keeps you so close
Wonder why you love me most
But fears aside I raise a toast
People love a comeback
I wish we'd leave and never come back
People love a comeback
I wish we'd leave and never come back

In Denyah's song "Come Back," the lyrics delve into themes of isolation, the desire to escape, and the concept of a "comeback." The opening lines "Taking the day by storm, trying to get to the eye of it" imply that the singer is actively seeking control in their life amid chaos. They reveal the desire for a temporary escape through the line "Always kinda wanted to disappear, cuz people love a comeback, and I could use some time away from here." The notion of a comeback is often associated with celebrities or public figures who have faced adversity, suggesting that the singer may have experienced their own struggles and might need a break to regain their strength.
The line "I keep Bic lighters around so I keep the fire lit" could potentially be interpreted beyond a literal sense. The lighter could represent the singer's resilience, holding onto it to keep their inner fire alive despite the challenges they face. The repetition of the chorus "People love a comeback, I wish we'd leave and never come back" reinforces the idea of escapism and a burning desire to start anew.
The second verse highlights the singer's feelings of boredom and confinement, with the line "Out of sight is out of mind, so I just hide and ride alone." This is juxtaposed with the line "Therapy in cold coffee, and when you're lying next to me" suggesting that amidst their struggle, there is comfort in the presence of someone they love. The line "You suffer in my misery, wonder what keeps you so close, wonder why you love me most" expresses a deep sense of insecurity and maybe even guilt, questioning why someone would stay with them despite their struggles. The final lines convey a sense of hope, with the singer toasting to the idea that someone could love them through it all despite their fears.
Line by Line Meaning
Taking the day by storm
Approaching the day with determination and eagerness
Trying to get to the eye of it
Attempting to find the center or most important part of the day
I keep Bic lighters around so I keep the fire lit
I have tools available to keep my motivation and passion strong
Always kinda wanted to disappear
I have a desire to escape from my current situation
Cuz people love a comeback
Because society values a person who can overcome adversity and return stronger
And I could use some time away from here
I need a break from my current environment
I endure
I persist through difficult circumstances
And I get bored
I become disinterested and unmotivated
Just do my chores
I complete my necessary tasks
And mind my own
I focus on my own affairs and avoid getting involved in others' business
Out of sight is out of mind
If something or someone is not visible, it is easy to forget about them
So I just hide
I conceal myself to avoid attention or conflict
And ride alone
I face my challenges independently
Gotten used to eggshells littering the floor
I have become accustomed to feeling like I need to be careful in my own home
I'm light as a feather, you're stiff as a board
I feel free and unencumbered while you seem weighed down
Therapy in cold coffee and when you're lying next to me
I find comfort and solace in simple things, like a warm body next to mine and a cup of coffee
You suffer in the midst of me
My struggles impact those around me as well
You suffer in my misery
My unhappiness and distress negatively affect others
Wonder what keeps you so close
I am curious about why you stay with me even though I bring suffering
Wonder why you love me most
I am puzzled as to why you value me more than anyone else
But fears aside I raise a toast
Despite my worries and anxieties, I will still celebrate our relationship
People love a comeback
Society admires those who can overcome obstacles and return stronger
I wish we'd leave and never come back
I desire to escape from this environment permanently
