Back to Black
Eve St. Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through

And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
I go back to
I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times

You go back to her
And I go back to black

Overall Meaning

The song "Back to Black" by Eve St. Jones is a heartfelt account of the difficulties of a break-up. The opening verses set the scene with a sense of his betrayal and her abandonment. The first line, "He left no time to regret," emphasizes the suddenness and finality of the breakup. The second line, "Kept his dick wet with his same old safe bet," is a striking metaphor that suggests he found comfort and relief in familiarity, even if it meant compounding his betrayal. The third line, "Me and my head high and my tears dry," reveals her attempt to hold her head up and move on, despite the overwhelming pain of the breakup. She resolves to "get on without my guy," despite the challenges.

The next verse explores the themes of regret, loss, and addiction. The line, "You went back to what you knew," shows that he chose to return to his old, familiar habits, even though it meant leaving her behind. The lines, "So far removed from all that we went through/And I tread a troubled track," suggest her sense of distance from him and the pain and confusion she feels as she tries to move forward. She acknowledges that her "odds are stacked" against her, but she is determined to carry on. The refrain, "I'll go back to black," suggests that she is driven to return to the darkness and despair of her previous state in order to make sense of what has happened.

There are various interpretations of this song, but one common theme is the destructive power of addiction and how it can destroy relationships. The lines "You love blow and I love puff/And life is like a pipe" suggest that the addiction is a shared experience, which both of them can't fight back. Finally, the song depicts the difficulty of saying goodbye and moving on. The final lines of "We only said goodbye with words/I died a hundred times/You go back to her/And I go back to black," suggest that she is still haunted by their memories and still not over him. She is forced to go back to her old ways and find comfort in despair.

Line by Line Meaning

He left no time to regret
He didn't give me any time to regret the end of our relationship

Kept his dick wet
He immediately moved on to sleeping with someone else

With his same old safe bet
He went back to a familiar and comfortable relationship

Me and my head high
Even with the breakup, I hold my head up high and maintain my self-respect

And my tears dry
I am not letting my sadness and emotions get the best of me

Get on without my guy
I'm moving on without him

You went back to what you knew
You didn't try anything new or different, you went back to your old habits

So far removed from all that we went through
You completely disregard the history we had together

And I tread a troubled track
I'm struggling with my emotions and trying to navigate my way through this heartbreak

My odds are stacked
The situation is not in my favor, it's difficult and uncertain

I'll go back to black
I'll go back to a state of mourning and sadness

We only said goodbye with words
We didn't have any closure, we just said the words and parted ways

I died a hundred times
I emotionally suffered a lot during this breakup

You go back to her
You're choosing her over me

And I go back to
And I'm left with

I go back to us
I'm left with memories of what we used to have

I love you much
I care about you a lot

It's not enough
But unfortunately that's not enough to make the relationship work

You love blow and I love puff
You prefer drugs and I prefer smoking

And life is like a pipe
Life is a short and fragile thing, like a smoking pipe

And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside
I feel small and insignificant, and I'm struggling with my emotions that are bouncing around inside of me

Black
Describes the darkness and sadness of my emotions

I go back to
I'm left with

We only said goodbye with words
We didn't have any closure, we just said the words and parted ways

I died a hundred times
I emotionally suffered a lot during this breakup

You go back to her
You're choosing her over me

And I go back to black
And I'm left with mourning and sadness

We only said goodbye with words
We didn't have any closure, we just said the words and parted ways

I died a hundred times
I emotionally suffered a lot during this breakup

You go back to her
You're choosing her over me

And I go back to black
And I'm left with mourning and sadness

Lyric :
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed
From all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny
Rolling up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Black, black
Black, black
Black, black
Black
I go back to
I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black
