Back In The Day
Fear And Fassion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're heading out to nowhere,
Crusin' on total speed
The only chance was
To exterminate the breed
Up to the minute,
We can lose this fight
Every day another mission
On our endless flight

The dreams became less
The night had us under its spell
We looked into our eyes
It was a cold day in hell

All or nothing
Till the lightning strikes again
All or nothing
It was a cold day in hell

On the horizon we saw smoke
Coming out of the blue
We saw the next level
It was too good to be true

Strange colours surrounded us
On our mission without hope
But we don't understand
We're walking the thin rope

All or nothing
Till the lightning strikes again




All or nothing
It was a cold day in hell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fear and Fashion's song Back In The Day seem to be about a group of people who are heading towards an uncertain destination with a sense of urgency. They seem to be driving fast, hoping to outrun something, or maybe to reach someplace in time. They feel like they need to exterminate something, maybe a negative feeling or memory, as they traverse through a difficult phase in life. The repetition of 'all or nothing' emphasizes the feeling of desperation and the sense of importance of their mission. They feel like they are fighting a losing battle every day, but they keep going, even though they are slowly losing hope.


As the night begins, their dreams slowly dissipate, and they are left facing their inner demons. They confront their fears head-on and realize that they are in a hopeless situation. The phrase 'It was a cold day in hell' further emphasizes the harshness and oppression of their current situation. The song then describes the group coming across some strange occurrences while they are on their mission, and they are not sure if it's a good or a bad thing. The line 'we don't understand we're walking the thin rope' shows their confusion and uncertainty about their mission.


Overall, the song seems to capture the feeling of helplessness and desperation that people feel in difficult situations. The lyrics paint a clear picture of a group of people heading towards an unknown destination, fighting against their inner demons and facing their fears, all the while feeling like they might not make it.

I always wondered why you guys left (or now, more apparently, got kicked out of) AMP and seemingly had beef with the group, but now I feel the reason is more heartbreaking than we realize. I will not lie to you guys, y'alls videos were always the most entertaining and enjoyable to me and I never knew why exactly. But it's more obvious to me now that you guys have beautiful hearts and souls and deserve the following you have gained (although that was never really a fact to be doubted). Thank you for being such amazing and supportive friends to Sofie, even though I know it's not really my place to be saying that. I won't go onto Dom's channel and spread any sort of negativity because, as a Christian, I don't believe it's right for me to do that. However, I appreciate the people that went onto his channel simply to express their disapproval and not their hatred. Even more so do I appreciate the people that came to only you guys and Sofie to express nothing but love and support. You guys are amazing. Thank you for being real with us always❤
