Back in Sight
Everon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Between the pages of a book
This book's her book of memories
Which off the shelf she took
Tonight without a reason
Except for feeling in the mood
For a little journey backward
Some memories prick her like thorns
Some really make her smile
But she can't stop holding that flower
That speaks of a life that once was hers
Out of reach, out of touch
But right now back in sight
She wishes she knew how to get back there
With her eyes closed she lets her
Memories take her on a ride
She relives all she has been through
And all she's put aside
It seems she had been walking
Down a long and rocky road
Sometimes she has been mourning
Her head she never bowed
Out of reach, out of touch
But right now back in sight
She wishes she'd know how to get back there
Out of reach, out of touch
But right now back in sight
She misses him badly, and still she cares...
The song "Back in Sight" by Everon is a contemplative ballad about looking back on one's life through memories. The singer relates the story of a woman who has found a withered flower between the pages of a book. This book is her book of memories, and she takes it off the shelf without any particular reason, except for feeling "in the mood for a little journey backward." The woman is seeking solace and nourishment for her weary soul through revisiting the past.
As she flips through the pages of her book of memories, some memories prick her like thorns, while others make her smile. This woman can't stop holding the flower she found, which speaks of a life that once was hers. The singer describes the journey through the woman's memories as a ride, where she relives all that she has been through and all that she has put aside. We learn that this journey is emotional, sometimes mourning and sometimes not.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "Out of reach, out of touch, but right now back in sight." The woman wishes to know how to get back to how things were in the past. While the song's meaning is left up to interpretation, it is an evocative and powerful song about the power of memories.
