(2006, Tacca Musique), initially exclusive to her website and "Vers à Soi" (Oct 2007, Tacca Musique - aka "Vers a Soi"), with completely French lyrics, intimate vocals and the cello relatively abated - resulting in one of her most experimental albums.
Come Back Again
Jorane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where nobody knows your name
Gone away
Where everybody goes to change
Gone away
And you never feel the same
Gone away
Ride your kite out of the flames
Fly away
Grow flowers from your brain
Fly on, fly away
Come back again
Fly on fly away
Come back again
We failed.
A little bit wrong
We failed.
But now we're all gone
Away
The lyrics of Jorane's song "Come Back Again" convey the message of escaping from a place that no longer feels like home. The first verse talks about leaving a place where nobody knows your name, and everyone goes to change. The phrase "gone away and you never feel the same" suggests that the person has left a place, which has caused them some emotional pain. The second verse talks about flying away, escaping from the chaos and growing flowers from your brain. The repeated chorus emphasizes the message of flying away but also reminds the person to come back.
The song's message touches upon the idea of escape, finding a place where you can be yourself and grow. The idea of growing flowers from your brain symbolizes the idea of mental growth or recovery. The song's title, "Come Back Again," adds another layer of meaning to the message, suggesting that the person should feel free to leave but at the same time, be comfortable enough to return.
