Comeback
Eyre Ella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He says it's nothing with her lipstick on his mouth
And you might think he doesn't care that much at all
But they always come back, yeah they always come back
When he returns he puts you in a situation
But it's too late to have that kinda conversation
It's not your job to show this boy some education, no
We've all been played, we all get hurt
Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
They're all the same, they never learn
So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
Dry your eyes Mr. Wise Guy
But take a picture, it's the last that you will see
Let's see how far this guy gets walking on his own feet
But they always come back, yeah they always come back
When he returns he puts you in a situation
But it's too late to have that kinda conversation
It's not your job to show this boy some education, no
Now ain't it funny how we never seem to work it out
We've all been played, we all get hurt
Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
They're all the same, they never learn
So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
We've all been played, we all get hurt
Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
We've all been played, we all get hurt
Just take the pain and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
They're all the same, they never learn
So dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn
And you know that in time you will find
That they always come back, yeah they always come back
In "Comeback," Eyre Ella sings about being in a relationship with a cheating partner. The lyrics start with her catching her partner "sleeping around" with another woman, and then he tries to justify it by saying it's "nothing," but there's evidence of the woman's lipstick on his mouth. The song focuses on the idea that cheaters never learn, and they always come back even though they hurt their partners. Ella seems to have accepted the reality that she's been played and hurt by her partner, and she's advising others to do the same. She ends the song with the lyric "they're all the same, they never learn / so dig their grave, and let that motherfucker burn," telling listeners to move on and not give cheaters any more chances.
The lyrics also touch upon the fact that trying to have a conversation with a cheating partner after they return home is pointless, as it won't change anything. According to the artist, it's not their job to educate the partner or even explain why their behavior was hurtful. Ella also highlights the irony of how relationships never seem to work out despite the effort put in by one partner, while the other continues to cheat and hurt the other person. Overall, the song is about self-love and empowerment, telling listeners not to tolerate infidelity and to let go of toxic relationships.

Think about the song really carefully. She says "we've all been played and we've all been hurt" which doesnt exclude men or women. And then people seem to also complain about how when she says "They're all the same" and interpreting it as "all men cheat" but its probably the case that "all cheaters (men and women) are the same" and therefore they never learn. The times she does use the word "he or boy" is because its her particular relationship. We shouldnt generalize that her incident with one boy applies to all men. Instead we should take in the fact that those who cheat can never really make things right again and they aren't worth your pain and suffering. Please dont make this about sexism its a nice song. Also in addition to this she doesnt actually break into his house and do these things its all in her mind the only real thing she does is splash water in his face because she knows better. The smile in the end <3
