Rewind
Jaylien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh yeah
Said she was looking for true love and gave up on it
How you gon' sleep shoulda stayed up on it
You don't know no other way
Partying for twenty days
Probably go on twenty dates
Wasting your twenties away
Redhanded redhanded, aww man
I lost
Now you all up in the club
Every night you drop it low
Lost all in your mind
Girl it aint the way to go
Girl you used to be down for a nigga
I thought you was gonna wait around for a nigga
When I see you girl it's only frowns for a nigga
My bad I'll take the blame on that
But I hope that pussy still got my name on it
Aww fuck, damn
I'm missing when you was my girl and I was your man
Can we get it back
You don't need to run these streets, no way
Let's hit this rewind button
One time
Can we hit this rewind button
Girl let me get you that wine that you love
Coz I don't see nobody else I wanna lay with
I can't see no body else I wanna stay with
I can't see nobody else I wanna pray with
So let's hit that rewind button
(End)
The lyrics to Jaylien's song Rewind tells the story of a man who lost a woman he thought was his true love because he didn't give her the attention she deserved. He confesses to his mistakes, taking the blame for the relationship's downfall. The girl has moved on, partying, and dating without finding true love. The man realizes his mistake, misses her, and wants to get back together. He suggests they hit the rewind button and go back to the time when they were together, and he could be the man he was supposed to be. He suggests they get back together and start anew.
The lyrics of the song paint a vivid picture of the consequences of neglecting a relationship. The man realizes too late that he took the woman for granted, and by the time he acknowledges his mistake, she has already moved on. He misses her and wishes to get her back to start a new chapter. The story is relatable as it happens in everyday life, where people lose loved ones due to misunderstandings or neglect. The song is an excellent reflection of how important it is to treasure the loved to avoid regret when they are gone.
