Recover
Downside Lyrics

The lyrics of "Recover" by Downside seem to be about trying to go back to a better time, possibly a time before a traumatic event or experience. The lyrics "I'll try to now, Recover, what made me whole, Recover the way it used to be" imply that the singer is trying to recover or heal from something that has caused them to lose a part of themselves. It's as if they're trying to recover their former self, the version of them that was whole and complete before the traumatic event occurred.

The lines "What pleases you/makes you who you are, It rapes you/name your price" suggest that the traumatic event has caused the singer to feel violated or taken advantage of in some way. Something that they once enjoyed or that was a part of their identity has now become something that hurts them. The war imagery in the line "It feels like this war, Could use you, So strong in will, I know this is how it has to be" could be referring to an internal struggle the singer is facing as they try to recover.

In the lines "I almost feel warm, In this moment, In that picture of home, Remember the way it used to be" the singer seems to be reminiscing about a time in the past when things were better. It's a moment of comfort and nostalgia that they're trying to hold onto as they continue to recover. The final line "Need one more chance" expresses the singer's desire for another opportunity to recover and heal from their trauma.
