Jodie Coste Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just open your eyes
Upon a smile
No fake
No disguise
Crowded is the place
Empty is my brain
Still can't breath out there
I suffocate
I surrogate
Looking out
For the only one escape
Still going on
Don't look upon
Cause I've been there
A thousand years ago
Yeah I've been there
I didn't even know
Cause I've been there
Go back, go back, go back
Lonely in this world
Don't know who I am
Blinded by the crowd
I don't know where to stand
Behind this shiny face
You will see the past
Just open your eyes
And let me say
Let me say cause
Cause I've been there
A thousand years ago
Yeah I've been there
I didn't even know
Cause I've been there
A thousand miles away
Go back, go back, go back
Cause I've been there
A thousand years ago
Yeah I've been there
I didn't even know
Cause I've been there
A thousand miles away
To the left
To the right
Could be wrong
Could be right
Who knows
Who cares
As long at the end
You will have
The strength
To climb the stairs
Could be you
Could be me
Always
And say what
Forever
Only the time
Will let us see
If we stay together
Trust me if I tell you so
If one day I get mad
I will let you know
Because at the end It will be just you and me
I promise I will always love you
Beyond the infinity
Cause I've been there
A thousand years ago
Yeah I've been there
I didn't even know
Cause I've been there
A thousand miles away
Go back, go back, go back
Cause I've been there
A thousand years ago
Yeah I've been there
I didn't even know
Cause I've been there
A thousand miles away
Go back, go back, go back
The lyrics of Jodie Coste's song "Go Back" convey a sense of reflection and self-discovery. The opening lines, "Never look back, just open your eyes, upon a smile, no fake, no disguise," encourage the listener to focus on the present and be genuine in their interactions. The mention of a crowded place and an empty brain suggests a feeling of overwhelm and confusion. The repetition of "I suffocate, I surrogate," indicates a desire to escape or find some relief from these overwhelming feelings.
The chorus, "Cause I've been there, a thousand years ago, yeah I've been there, I didn't even know" suggests that the singer has gone through a similar experience in the past without realizing it. This could imply a pattern of feeling lost or disconnected from oneself. The repeated phrase "Go back" seems to be a plea to return to a state of inner clarity and purpose.
The second verse describes feeling lonely and uncertain about one's identity in a world filled with distractions. The mention of a shiny face hiding a painful past suggests the need for vulnerability and honesty. By opening one's eyes, the singer asks the listener to confront their past and acknowledge the experiences that have shaped them.
The third verse introduces the idea of choices and uncertainties in life. The lines "To the left, to the right, could be wrong, could be right, who knows, who cares" convey a sense of ambivalence and the realization that the outcome is unknown. The singer encourages the listener to have the strength to move forward despite the uncertainties, symbolized by climbing stairs. The promise to always love and support the listener highlights the importance of trust and connection in navigating through life's challenges.
Overall, "Go Back" explores themes of self-reflection, overcoming past struggles, and finding strength and love in the face of uncertainty. The repetition of certain phrases emphasizes the significance of these experiences and the desire to return to a place of self-awareness and clarity.
