Rewind
Gentleman Reg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will begin it soon
Make each page I turn a page a minute
Reveal me sun
I will forgive it dad
It seems that beers what makes you mad
Listen mom
Make it something that matters to me
There's no point in going back when a masterpiece is crumbling
Rewind the time
Outside of everyone's pasture
It's more than the trouble it's worth
Almost fine
With all that follows hereafter
There's nothing more that we can do
Rewind the time
I get no response when I ask you
Is this what you wanted to see?
On the verge
Of being one big disaster
This heart
There's no point in going back when a masterpiece is crumbling
The lyrics of Gentleman Reg's song "Rewind" speak of a desire to go back to a time before things have gone wrong. The singer wishes to "rewind the time" and start again. They are prepared to "begin it soon" and make the most of every minute, turning each page like a minute. The singer calls out to the sun, willing it to shine on them and forgive their dad, who seems to be troubled by beer. They ask their mother to speak softly and make it something that matters to them.
The following lines state that there is no point in going back when a masterpiece is crumbling. The singer is prepared to accept the present situation, outside of everyone's pasture, as it is. They acknowledge that it is more trouble than it is worth, but they are almost fine with all that will follow thereafter. The singer seems to be asking someone if this is what they wanted to see, as they are on the verge of being one big disaster, and there is nothing more that they can do. They reiterate that there is no point in going back now that the "masterpiece" is crumbling.

I miss Katie Sketch so, so much. I really hope she'll release new music one day...
@alejandrocisneros7442
Wout Vl unfortunately she can't due to contractual issues.
@woutvlaeminck7243
@Alejandro Cisneros Yeah, I've read about that, but I never found any information about when the contraxt expires. They can't stop her from releasing music for ever. She's so talented, it's a shame she's being held back.

This band converted me into their fan base at last night's show with Amy Millan. This song is so fantastic and a great video to match.
