Come Back
Foo Foo & The Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh, oh oh
Moving, again
Comfort of the chase
Now and again
This my saving grace
Keep me alive and give me something to lose
Goodbye, this time
Leaving you
I've been gone so long, so, gone so long
But I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back for you
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Changes, changing
Back and forth again
Trading faces
Strangers in the end
Dead on the inside I've got nothing to prove
Keep me alive and give me something to lose
Goodbye, this time
Leaving you
I've been gone so long, so, gone so long
But I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back for you
For you
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back for you
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
I will come back
The lyrics of Foo Foo & The Boy's song "Come Back" express a sense of restlessness and uncertainty. The opening lines "Moving, again / Comfort of the chase" imply a constant search for something, a desire for change and new experiences. Yet, there is something off about this constant movement, as the line "Dead on the inside, I've got nothing to prove" suggests a lack of purpose or direction. It is as if the act of moving, the chase, is itself the only thing that provides a sense of comfort.
The chorus ("I will come back, I will come back for you") adds a layer of complexity to the song. While the verses seem to express a desire to leave and keep moving, the chorus suggests a desire to return, to come back to something or someone. The repetition of the line "I will come back" implies a sense of determination, a recognition that whatever it is that the singer is searching for, it is not complete without this return.
The second verse adds to the themes of change and uncertainty. "Changes, changing / Back and forth again / Trading faces / Strangers in the end" suggests a constant shifting of identities, a sense of not quite fitting in anywhere. The lines "Keep me alive and give me something to lose / Goodbye, this time / Leaving you" imply that there is a cost to this constant movement, that while it may provide comfort or excitement, it also involves leaving things behind.
Overall, "Come Back" is a song about the tension between the desire for new experiences and the need for stability and connection. It acknowledges the restlessness and uncertainty that can come with change, while also recognizing the importance of coming back to something constant.

I love how by the end of the movie Carol Ann hinted that she knew they were drag but never outed them and insisted they were ladies telling them "I'm lucky to know three women who happen to have Adam's apple".

I love that, but my favorite statement was & always will be, " I never saw you as a man, and I never saw you as a woman... I always saw you as an angel." ☺️❤️ 😇
Oh and Vita's response, "Well I think that's healthy." 😂

Technically all cis women actually have Adams apples. It's just not as prominent as in males.
