Rewind
Devlin Feat Diana Birch Lyrics

When the sky breaks it rains
When things fall apart, they affect everything else

So just let the H2O splash upon the graves
Let the rain express and soothe the pain caused by the loss of loved ones

Of all the souls I used to know but now have passed away
Reflecting on the loss of those who were once close but are no longer present

Men say that time can heal a situation
People say that time can fix things, but sometimes the pain doesn't go away

But this pain is not a passing phase
The pain is real and persistent, not just a temporary feeling

Now I'm curious how many years a heart can ache
Wondering how long one can carry the pain of a broken heart

Feel like a Minotaur meandering this darkened place
Feeling lost and confused, like a mythical creature wandering in the dark

Trying to find a way to maybe find the light of day
Hoping to find a way out of the darkness and into the light

If I could rewind then I'd re-live my life again
Reflecting on past choices and imagining a chance to do things differently

And sit and hold my nan's hands while she felt the pain
Thinking about spending more time with loved ones before they pass away

And say hello to old mates behind the pearly gates
Missing friends who have passed away and wishing for a chance to see them again

Given the chance to glance back at my childish face
Reflecting on the innocence and joy of childhood

I'd try and smile the way I smiled just like a child again
Longing to experience the pure joy and happiness of childhood once more

Before I had to say goodbye to anybody
Hoping to relive moments with loved ones before having to say goodbye to them

And the loved ones I've lost all had life within their bodies
Remembering the life and energy that was once present in those who have passed away

My side was less lonely then
Feeling less alone when loved ones were still alive

You wanna cry well come and hold me then
Inviting someone to share their emotions and offer support

I think I need the blessing of some holy men
Feeling a need for guidance and spiritual support

'Cause everything is different now
Acknowledging that life has changed and is not what it used to be

I'd really like to tell you how
Expressing a desire to explain the changes and emotions experienced

How I wanted you here by my side
Missing the presence of someone who is no longer there

I know what I said but I lied
Admitting to not being completely truthful in the past

It looked like I laughed but I cried
Putting on a facade to cover emotions and pain

But I wish I could push rewind
Wishing for a chance to go back and do things differently

If I had minutes on my hand just like a time piece
Dreaming of being able to control time and go back to specific moments

I'd turn the clocks back and maybe try to find peace
Wishing to revisit moments in the past to find a sense of inner peace

As well as my ID, so rewind me
Asking for a chance to go back, much like rewinding a video cassette

Just like a video cassette cause I'm upset that I ain't seen
Comparing the desire to rewind time to missing out on a video recording

Some faces in a while just apparitions in my dream
Remembering people from the past who have become distant memories

That ends abruptly when they try to hug me through the screen
Feeling a sense of disconnection when remembering the past, as memories cannot be physically embraced

Of smoke that's engulfing me
Feeling overwhelmed and consumed by thoughts and memories

Like the coastline with its high tide
Feeling like emotions and memories come in waves, much like tides at a coastline

And you can see the sands and the oceans meet
Visualizing the place where emotions and memories come together

No one told me when this ride began to hold my seat
Feeling unprepared and unaware of the challenges and emotions that come with life

Time flies like Emmet Brown was in the driver's seat
Reflecting on the quick passing of time, like a reference to the time-traveling character in Back to the Future

You talk of irony
Reflecting on the irony of life and its unexpected twists and turns

Well now I'm lonely
Feeling isolated and alone in the midst of all these emotions

But I'm searching for my privacy
Needing time alone to process and deal with emotions

This life won't comply with me
Feeling like life does not bend to one's wishes or desires

I think I need some dead relatives either side of me
Craving the guidance and support of loved ones who have passed away

To keep me company and guide me through the library
Wishing for the presence and support of loved ones as one navigates through the challenges of life

Of neverending stories full of lies and deceit
Acknowledging the dark and difficult aspects of life and its stories

Hi Ho Silver, Lone Ranger riding to the beat
Referencing the classic western character Lone Ranger, who rides in to save the day

If I could rewind time to its slowest
Desiring to slow down time and savor moments more fully

I'd look at life at its heights and its lowest
Reflecting on the highs and lows of life

So I could maybe try to recollect
Using reflection as a way to remember and process experiences

What made me who I am besides a poet
Reflecting on the experiences that have shaped one's identity, beyond just being a writer
