Back To You
K.Ellis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It can be easy
To close your eyes
And try to let go
Of anything that you hold in your head
But when I try to forget
All I see is your face
And although I know
That is just another dream

I can't let it slip
At nights I stay awake
Something inside burns to tell you
That I think of you every day
I wish you knew
But I know you don't
And I stay in my zone
Hiding away from you and her
Cause all I really want for you
Is pure happiness
Still there's this pain I can't erase
And as I follow the guide it always leads me there
Back to you
Back to you
Back to you
I find my home
For some it's easy
To hold another hand
I guess they're the ones
Who can really own their destiny
While I sit here making plans
About leaving my beloved country
In a past that's old and grey
And you can have some moments of silence
Reflect on the crown I used to wear
Now I throw away the gown
Wear a black suit and keep it on
Cause I lost the king I never had
She's passed away
The girl I used to be
But even her funeral
Is cold and empty
I shaked the plans
It's all an act
A tear of truth
Here it wouldn't last
I call your name
In my innocent dreams
And I hope that you hear
When you close your eyes
Still there's this pain I can't erase
And as I follow the guide it always leads me there
Back to you
Back to you
Back to you
I find my home
Back to you
Back to you

Back to you
I find my home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to K.Ellis's song "Back to You" convey a sense of desperation and uncertainty in a failing relationship. The opening verses express the singer's feeling of being mistreated and abused, yet despite this treatment, they don't know what to do and keep crawling back to their partner. This can be interpreted as a demonstration of how strong the singer's feelings are, regardless of the toxic nature of the relationship. The chorus is repeated twice, further emphasizing the singer's desperation and inability to find a way out of the relationship.

Later in the song, the singer questions whether their partner even cares about them, asking "Do I even matter baby?". They reminisce about the physical closeness they shared in the past, but now the partner feels distant and gone. The singer acknowledges that they have been caught up in their own thoughts, but begs their partner to not waste any more time with them if they don't truly want to be together. The repetition of "Crawling back to you" creates a sense of cyclical emotion, as the singer keeps coming back despite the unhealthy nature of the relationship.
