Back2Me
Eraserheads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sana man lang naghintay ng konting sandali
wee wee wee
hindi na nakita mula nang huling date sa Megamall
kumain tayo ng spaghetti
di ka nagbayad sa aircon na taksing r&e
wee wee wee
why can't you see? wee wee wee
please please come back to me
let's give our love another chance
wish you were in my arms
and you're whispering your love me too
hindi makapaniwala sa balitang nasagap
na buntis ka na pala sa probinsya ng Quezon
at nag-bunjee jumping
i can't believe oh no
chorus
pa'no na 'yung crossword puzzle
na hindi natin natapos at pakisoli na rin
ang tapes ko ng Nirvana at Yano na
isang taon ng nasa iyo
please send it back 2 me oh no
back 2 me oh no
chorus
The lyrics of Back2Me by Eraserheads speak of a longing for an ex-lover who has moved on and the regrets of not holding on to the relationship. The singer reminisces about their last date in Megamall where they ate spaghetti, but the ex-lover disappeared without waiting for even a moment longer for the singer. The chorus repeatedly asks for the ex-lover to come back and gives their love another chance, yearning to hold them in their arms again and hear them whispering their love too.
However, the singer is hit with a shocking news that the ex-lover is pregnant and has gone bungee jumping in the province of Quezon. The lines "i can't believe oh no" convey the singer's disbelief and shock. The song ends with the singer asking for the return of some tapes and an unfinished crossword puzzle as they still hold on to the memories of the relationship.
Back2Me is a classic love song with a touch of humor and a tinge of sadness. It portrays the common theme of longing for an ex-lover and the regrets of not holding on to the relationship. The song's catchy melody and relatable lyrics made it an instant hit among Eraserheads fans.
