Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of my life I've been trying
To just find some meaning in life
To just find some happiness in life
I know one thing life is a hustle
I know for sure life is a struggle
And everyone has their own struggles
You just need to know you are not alone
We are all trying to figure it out

And there is no way I can give up now
And there is no way I can stop trying
And there is no way I can lose hope now
Ayoyo ayoyo ayoyo ayoyo
Ayolele ayolele ayolele ayolele ayolele
A lot of things I wanted in life
Some of them I couldn't get at all
And the people that I wanted to love
Some of them could not love me back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dr. Beat's "No Way Back" revolve around the universal struggles of life and the search for meaning and happiness. The artist acknowledges that life is a hustle and a struggle, and that everyone has their own struggles to deal with. However, he emphasizes that we are not alone in this journey, and that we are all trying to figure it out.

The song talks about the disappointment that comes with unfulfilled desires - things that we want but cannot have, people that we love but cannot be loved back by, and things that we consider important but cannot last. Despite these setbacks, the artist maintains his resolve to keep trying and not give up.

The chorus of the song features the repetitive use of the phrases "ayoyo" and "ayolele", which are likely meant to convey a sense of rhythm and positivity, and to encourage listeners to keep moving forward.

Overall, Dr. Beat's "No Way Back" is a poignant reminder of the struggles that we all face in life, but also of the importance of resilience and hope in overcoming those struggles.

@frankmroberts

We run the out from the DB90 into our Aviom system (in ear monitors). That way the band can hear the click track, but the folks out front can't. The cool thing about the Aviom is that each member can then mix there own monitor mix. In a practice enviromement I've also just plugged the metronome into the sound board. I've found this to be a valuable tool as a drummer, that way it is a little less like herding cats...

@eliaskahila

Thanks a lot for this video. Much better than the manuals! :) I use this device (with Boss FS-6 Footswitch) with my cello, on my one-man cello-loop show. (Think Ed Sheeran but with a cello). I´m using the memory function to make sure I got the right tempos, and then footswitch start/stop or next memory. Anyway, thank you for this video.

@66Ganon yes you can. you have to use the loop function. It takes a bit to load teach tempo change, but I do it all the time for Marching Band and other situations I practice/rehearse in. Let me know if you want me to explain.

Awesome tips and review. It's possible that someone has already asked, but do you use this metronome with acoustic drums? I am wondering if it can cut through with headphones.

@grandpaatemydildo

13y

@frankmroberts Excellent review! Is the DB90 loud enough to be heard through headphones, in a gig situation? Does it cut through a rock band's sound? We need to use a metronome for our band, in order to use (sync) some loops and be right on time (maybe even using midi). We would like our drummer not to be dependent on the sound engineer for this, and we want to avoid using laptops etc.

@MaadDaawg

@TheOppidan

@paperducksnz

Hey! I use one all the time. You can adjust the whole note, quarter, 8th, and 16th notes. It can hold 50 (I believe) tempos, and the DB-90 is apparently better, but I have personally not used the Tama metronome. C

@nealmosspercussion

14y

@WizXX It is possible, but you have to use the loop function. What this does play a desired number of measures at one tempo, then you can change it to a new tempo with a new number of desired measures. Each of which has to be programmed in a different memory slot. I do this all the time for marching band. Let me know if you need more detailed instructions on how to do this.

Tap MEMORY, then tap WRITE once, and after that select the allocation number and tap WRITE once more. This way you won't lose the current setup if you want to save it under a different memory allocation.

Can you program different tempos within a song and a specific amount of measures? I want to make a click map of songs for recording. I am not sure why it's so hard to make a metronome that one can program to do that. Many songs change tempos within the song and change again. Any help?

Don`t you happen to know if it`s possible to fix the DB90 battery lifetime? Because I`m forced to change a battery every 2-3 days and it`s kinda annoying. I`m getting through a hundred batteries a year. I think I should buy an adapter but anyway...

@frankmroberts

13y

Sorry I haven't used the DB90 to produce polyrythm patterns, however, I believe it could be used for that. At first blush I would say if I wanted to do that I would use my drum machine, only because it has more instruments to trigger and it would then be easier for me to hear it. I'm also not familial with the DB60's features, so its difficult for me to compare the two.
