Kid Mac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time the sun melts down
And the purple sky comes out
(Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh)
See no evil, speak no sound
Still the shadows can be found
(Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh)
And I try to fight the feeling
So good it can't be wrong
I try to hide the emptiness inside
The essence of this pill's got me living a dam lie
I'm trapped in my old ways in a cage with no key
What can I say it's the animal in me
(Whoa oh oh oh)
With every step I take I see the truth
And its all in you
(Whoa oh oh oh)
With every triumph comes a new break through
Much better than you knew
Every time I look around
All I see is smiles turned down
(Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh)
In my head a thumping sound
Something's gotta give right now
(Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh)
And I try to fight the feeling
The feeling's got me fighting all night long
So good it can't be wrong
My mind is at the ceiling
No way I'll find a healing in this zone
So good it can't be wrong
(Whoa oh oh oh)
With every step I take I see the truth
And its all in you
(Whoa oh oh oh)
With every triumph comes a new break through
Much better than you knew
(Whoa oh oh oh)
I feel my body standing strong again
And I feel no pain
(Whoa oh oh oh)
There'll be sunshine where there was only rain
And I feel no pain
Don't Look back (Don't ever look back) x8
The lyrics of Kid Mac's song "Don't Look Back" describe a feeling of being trapped and unable to escape negative thoughts and emotions. The beginning of the song paints a picture of a sunset and a purple sky, but even as the day ends, there is still darkness to be found. The lyrics emphasize the struggle of fighting against one's own feelings, which can be all-encompassing and difficult to overcome. The lyrics suggest that feeling good can't be wrong, but the singer is hiding a sense of emptiness that feels like living a lie. The feeling of being trapped is emphasized with the line, "I'm trapped in my old ways in a cage with no key."
As the song progresses, the lyrics focus on the struggle to hide negative emotions and how they can be overwhelming. The line, "My mind is at the ceiling," is a metaphor for feeling trapped and unable to escape thoughts and feelings. Despite this, the song offers hope with the lyrics, "With every triumph comes a new break through/Much better than you knew." Finally, the song ends on an uplifting note, suggesting that pain and discomfort can be overcome with the lyrics, "There'll be sunshine where there was only rain/And I feel no pain." The refrain, "Don't Look back (Don't ever look back)" emphasizes the importance of moving forward and not dwelling on the past.

Every time the sun melts down
Every time the sun sets
And the purple sky comes out
When the sky turns purple at sunset
(Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh)
Refrain
See no evil, speak no sound
Ignore negative things and don't talk about them
Still the shadows can be found
Negative things can still exist even if we ignore them
And I try to fight the feeling
Trying to resist the urge to do something negative
The feeling's got me fighting all night long
The urge is hard to resist and is causing sleeplessness
So good it can't be wrong
Feels so good that it seems right, even if it's not
I try to hide the emptiness inside
Attempting to cover up inner emotional pain
The essence of this pill's got me living a dam lie
The addictive nature of a substance has caused a cycle of lying
I'm trapped in my old ways in a cage with no key
Stuck in old habits without the ability to change
What can I say it's the animal in me
Blaming animalistic urges for negative behavior
With every step I take I see the truth
Realizing something with each step taken
And its all in you
The realization is connected to someone else
With every triumph comes a new break through
Each success leads to a new realization or breakthrough
Much better than you knew
The realization is better than originally thought
Every time I look around
When he observes his environment
All I see is smiles turned down
Noticing frowns or negative emotions on faces
In my head a thumping sound
Feeling anxious or worried
Something's gotta give right now
Something needs to change immediately
My mind is at the ceiling
Feeling overwhelmed and stuck
No way I'll find a healing in this zone
Unable to find healing in the current situation
I feel my body standing strong again
Feeling physically well and strong
And I feel no pain
Feeling no physical pain
There'll be sunshine where there was only rain
Believing things will get better despite past hardships
Don't Look back (Don't ever look back) x8
Refrain - urging listeners to not dwell on the past and keep moving forward
