Back to You
Edes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its quiet as six feet underground
No stopping here, just keep walking
You won't find me this time
Pre-Chorus:
Over and over
You try to pin me
Just let me be free
Over and over
Somehow you bring me
Over again
Chorus:
Stay down, can't you see
You're taking over me
Lay low, just stay cool
Set me free
Don't know what it is
That gets to me
Somehow it all comes back
Back to you
Verse 2:
A second where all paths are open
This feeling like nothing can bring me down
I stray past a window of freedom
But I won't take the leap
Bridge:
Come back to me
back to me
Why did you leave
Somehow you bring me
Over again
The lyrics of Edes’s song, “Back to You,” explores the theme of wanting to break free from the past but being constantly pulled back into it. The first verse suggests a distance between the singer and the person addressed, creating a sense of detachment that is then amplified by the metaphor of being “quiet as six feet underground.” The lyric, “No stopping here, just keep walking, you won't find me this time,” further emphasizes the idea of wanting to escape from a particular situation or relationship. However, in the pre-chorus, the singer acknowledges the persistent attempts of the other person to hold onto them despite the distance placed between them, saying, “Over and over, you try to pin me.” The repetition of “Over and over” serves as a reminder of how the past keeps coming back, even when one tries to move on.
The chorus of the song is a plea to be freed from the emotions that keep returning. The lyric, “Stay down, can't you see, you're taking over me,” suggests that the singer is overwhelmed by the other person's hold on them. The plea to “set me free” emphasizes the need for release from the power struggle that is keeping the singer trapped in the past. The phrase “Somehow it all comes back, back to you,” is repeated, further emphasizing the cyclical nature of this relationship.
The bridge of the song, “Come back to me, back to me, why did you leave?,” suggests that the singer initially wanted the relationship to continue but is now regretting it. The lyric, “Somehow you bring me over again,” serves as a reminder of how the past keeps repeating itself.
Line by Line Meaning
I am not there when you're looking
I am intentionally avoiding you and not being present for you
Its quiet as six feet underground
There is complete silence, as if I am already dead
No stopping here, just keep walking
There is no need to stop and search for me, please just move on
You won't find me this time
I am deliberately hiding from you and you will not be able to locate me
Over and over
Repeatedly, incessantly
You try to pin me
You try to confine me or place the blame on me
Just let me be free
I am seeking freedom and space from you
Somehow you bring me
Despite trying to distance myself from you, you still affect me
Stay down, can't you see
Please remain low and not intrude on my life
You're taking over me
Your influence on me is becoming excessive and unwelcome
Lay low, just stay cool
Please stay calm and composed to avoid conflict
Set me free
Allow me to be completely independent and liberated
Don't know what it is
I cannot explain what is happening
That gets to me
The effect you have on me is confusing and difficult to understand
Somehow it all comes back
Regardless of my attempts to move away, I keep being pulled back towards you
Back to you
Towards you and our relationship that I am trying to avoid
A second where all paths are open
There is a moment of opportunity where anything is possible
This feeling like nothing can bring me down
I am experiencing strong emotions of invincibility and positivity
I stray past a window of freedom
I have glimpsed a chance to escape or be free
But I won't take the leap
Despite seeing an opportunity, I choose not to take the risk
Come back to me
An invitation to return and be close again
Why did you leave
A question aimed at the person who has distanced themselves
