Back To Black
Glee Cast蘑 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kept his lips wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black
[Chorus:]
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside
[Chorus 2x]
Black, black, black, black,
black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to
[Chorus 2x]
The song "Back to Black" by Glee Cast is a cover of Amy Winehouse's 2006 hit single. The lyrics tell the story of a relationship that has come to an end, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The first verse refers to the suddenness of the breakup, as the former lover doesn't give the singer time to regret. He instead keeps his "lips wet with his same old safe bet," using his vices to cope with the end of their relationship. Despite her strong demeanor ("me and my head high"), the singer is struggling to move on ("my tears dry") from a love that was once consuming.
The chorus conveys the pain and heartbreak of the situation. The two lovers said goodbye, but it was only with words. The singer feels as though a part of her has died ("I died a hundred times") as she watches her former lover return to someone else ("you go back to her"), while she's left with memories of what they once had ("I go back to us"). The second verse touches on the differences between the two lovers, as the singer loves her "puff" while her partner loves "blow." The metaphor of life being like a pipe and the singer being a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside suggests that she's lost and small in comparison to the larger forces in life.

@dlg4life548
Thanks for another entertaining stream! Both of you deserve more recognition and subscribers for the positive messages you bring to your live streams and also, please more music from you two. It looks like you put most of the original songs in channel members only videos?
@PooDotStinkPants
Our pleasure! Thank you so much for the super thanks!!! You are very kind in both words and generosity. Yes, we have uploaded a number of original songs recorded many years ago. They aren't good so we didn't want to share publicly but wanted to reward the channel members for their kindness too. We hope you can understand. We will upload some more songs once we finish producing them, it takes quite a while to do that, sorry for the wait.
Thanks again for the super thanks, you are awesome!
