That Was
Fastbacks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

That was me
Leaving
Just leave me alone
That was somewhere
Nowhere
I'll find my way home
I think I'll think next time
You don't ever know what I think
When I walk away smiling
I might be lying




That was really
Really

Overall Meaning

deep and contemplative. The opening lines suggest that the singer is leaving something or someone behind, possibly in a moment of frustration, and they want to be left alone to process their emotions. They also seem to be in a state of confusion, not knowing where they are headed but trusting that they will eventually find their way home. The line "I think I'll think next time" suggests that the singer may have acted impulsively in the past, and is now taking a more measured approach to their decisions.


The second half of the song delves even deeper into the singer's psyche. They suggest that others may not truly know what they are thinking or feeling, even if they are smiling or putting on a brave face. There is a sense of internal struggle and conflict, as if the singer is grappling with their own thoughts and emotions. The repetition of "That was really, really" adds to the sense of introspection and contemplation, as if the singer is trying to make sense of everything that is happening around them.
