Return
Fifth Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woah
I woke up to you wondering when it was
And what made you this way
But then I just shut it down
And so I thought the hardest part was over
But then I saw and asked you what was it for?
What was it for?
I’m trying
I can’t help the crying
It’s over now
Or was it so?
Life will bleed on empty walls
This was always coming
(Tell me what was it for?)
This picture frame
It’s all set here
I could almost see it hang
How could you return?
How could you return?
I tried to save myself today
You could show me where the cord is
I tried to save myself but it wasn’t me
I thought that it was over
But then I saw you here and what was it for?
What was it for?
I’m screaming
I’m trying
I can’t help the crying
It’s over now
Or was it so?
Life will bleed on empty walls
This was always coming
(Tell me what was it for?)
This picture frame
It’s all set here
I could almost see it hang
How could you return?
How could you return?
I can’t seem to recall
All the things I’ve ever wanted to say
God give me the strength
No no
I’ll find out what it is when I’m gone
Take it from myself!
I’m turning over
Events that never should’ve been
Life will bleed on empty walls
This was always coming
Life will bleed on empty walls This was always coming
(Tell me what was it for?)
This picture frame
It’s all set here
I could almost see it hang
How could you return?
(The toll, the toll it took on me) How could you return?
Toll it took on me
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
Woah woah
The lyrics of Fifth Dawn's song "Return" convey a sense of confusion, internal struggle, and emotional turmoil. The song begins with the singer waking up to someone's presence and wondering about the reasons behind their current state of being. However, the singer quickly shuts down their thoughts, believing that the hardest part is over. But then, upon seeing the person again, they question the purpose of their return. The line "I’m screaming, I’m trying, I can’t help the crying" suggests a desperate and futile attempt to cope with the overwhelming emotions.
The repetition of "It’s over now, or was it so?" implies uncertainty and a sense of unresolved closure. The line "Life will bleed on empty walls" symbolizes the pain and anguish left behind by these unpredictable circumstances. The phrase "This picture frame, It’s all set here, I could almost see it hang" implies a figurative representation of a relationship or memories that were supposed to be preserved, but were disrupted by this unexpected return.
The lyrics further delve into the singer's struggle to save themselves, expressing a desire to find the strength to move forward. The line "I can’t seem to recall all the things I’ve ever wanted to say" suggests regret and missed opportunities for communication. The plea to "God give me the strength" reveals a search for external assistance in coping with the situation. The repetition towards the end emphasizes the toll that this return has taken on the singer, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and questioning how the person could come back.
Overall, "Return" explores themes of confusion, emotional turmoil, the search for closure, and the impact of unexpected returns in relationships.

I will discover the truth when I am no longer here
Take it from myself!
Take it away from me!
