Back In Time
I-One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating in the loop
Causing shifts in the pattern
You glow like a beacon I can't stare straight at
Did something soften you
If only I could see you from a mile away
There's been a drastic change in you
If only I could see you from a mile away
When I reset, what's coming back next time
Am I coming back next time
Walk the hallways in a panic
How'd you cut through all the noise
You must see the changes
Like a doorway in your mind
I get lost, I get lost
In the house on top of mine
I get lost, I get lost
Help me cut through all the noise
What parts of me will I hold on to
When I reset, what's coming back next time
Am I coming back next time
I get lost, I get lost
I get lost, I get lost
In the house on top of mine
In the house on top of mine
I get lost, I get lost
What parts of me will I hold on to
When I reset, what's coming back next time
Am I coming back next time
Am I coming back next time
The lyrics to I-One's song "Back in Time" depict a sense of confusion and introspection about the changes that have taken place recently. The singer is reflecting upon the shifts in their life, wondering about the impact of these changes and how they have affected their perception of themselves and others. The opening lines, "What happened, do you think, in the past few months / Floating in the loop / Causing shifts in the pattern" suggest a state of uncertainty and being caught in a cycle of experiences that have altered their perspective.
The mention of someone "glowing like a beacon" suggests that there is someone in their life who stands out, perhaps as a source of inspiration or as a catalyst for change. However, they cannot fully comprehend or confront this person, as indicated by the line, "I can't stare straight at." There is a desire to gain distance and perspective, to see things from a distance and understand the transformation that has occurred.
The line, "What parts of me will I hold on to / When I reset, what's coming back next time / Am I coming back next time," conveys a sense of self-reflection and uncertainty about the future. The singer is questioning which aspects of themselves they will retain as they move forward, and whether they will return after undergoing a reset or change. There is a fear of losing oneself amidst the noise and chaos of life, illustrated by the phrase, "Help me cut through all the noise."
Overall, "Back in Time" explores themes of change, introspection, and the struggle to find stability and self-understanding amidst the ever-shifting nature of life.
