Rewind
LaShawn Daniels | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We took a drive
To lose ourselves tonight
From a life so well prescribed
We don't mind

And everywhere
It's eyes and flashing lights
So perfectly maligned

They don't mind
They don't mind

Cause all these things that are weighing on us
All these things that are wasting time, rewind
All these things that are weighing on us
Are all these dreams we've been giving up, rewind

The needle drives down your skin tonight
I'm tracing every line
We don't mind

Twist and turn
You plunge with holy spite
The pattern is defined
You don't mind
And I don't mind

Cause all these things that are weighing on us
All these things that are wasting time, rewind
All these things that are weighing on us
Are all these dreams we've been giving up, rewind between the lines

All these things that are weighing on us
All these things that are wasting time, rewind
All these things that are weighing on us
Are all these dreams we've been giving up, rewind between the lines

We'll can we rewind
(x2)

Overall Meaning

In LaShawn Daniels' song "Rewind," the singer describes a desire to escape the constraints of a well-defined and structured life. The first verse sets the scene, with the singer and their companion taking a drive to lose themselves for the night. They are surrounded by the spectacle of city life, but their rebellion against the rigidity of the norm is expressed in their willingness to reject it. The second verse takes on a more erotic tone, describing a physical encounter that is unbridled by societal norms, and sacrifices self-control in favor of desire. The chorus succinctly calls for a re-do, the opportunity for the singer and his companion to reclaim their lost dreams, and to rewind their lives between the lines.

Line by Line Meaning

We took a drive
We went for a ride

To lose ourselves tonight
To escape from reality tonight

From a life so well prescribed
From a life so strictly defined

We don't mind
We are not bothered by it

And everywhere
And in every place

It's eyes and flashing lights
There are eyes and flashing lights

So perfectly maligned
So well-coordinated

They don't mind
They are not bothered by it

Cause all these things that are weighing on us
Because all these things that are burdening us

All these things that are wasting time, rewind
All these things that are taking up our time, let's rewind

All these things that are weighing on us
All these things that are burdening us

Are all these dreams we've been giving up, rewind
Are all these dreams we have abandoned, let's rewind

The needle drives down your skin tonight
The needle penetrates your skin tonight

I'm tracing every line
I'm following every detail

We don't mind
We are not bothered by it

Twist and turn
Bend and rotate

You plunge with holy spite
You dive with a sacred anger

The pattern is defined
The design is established

You don't mind
You are not bothered by it

And I don't mind
And I am not bothered by it

Cause all these things that are weighing on us
Because all these things that are burdening us

All these things that are wasting time, rewind
All these things that are taking up our time, let's rewind

All these things that are weighing on us
All these things that are burdening us

Are all these dreams we've been giving up, rewind between the lines
Are all these dreams we have abandoned, let's rewind and discover what went wrong

All these things that are weighing on us
All these things that are burdening us

All these things that are wasting time, rewind
All these things that are taking up our time, let's rewind

All these things that are weighing on us
All these things that are burdening us

Are all these dreams we've been giving up, rewind between the lines
Are all these dreams we have abandoned, let's rewind and discover what went wrong

We'll can we rewind
Can we rewind?
