Point of No Return
London Elektricity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking straight ahead
Moving in a straight line
Eyes fixed on their golden dreams
Well thats how it seems
From the moment i met you
I was counting back the days
You turned my life upside down
You span me around
You drove me to the point of no return
Every day since you left me
I’ve been stumbling in the dark
I lost my direction
I don’t know which way to turn
I’ll never learn
Suicidal if i go
All my friends tell me so
But they don’t know what i know
And i know it’s the only way
Can’t live another day
You drove me to the point of no return
The lyrics of "Point of No Return" by London Elektricity begins with a commentary about how most people are focused on their dreams and moving in a straight line to achieve them. However, in the second half of the verse, the singer's perspective shifts as they recall meeting someone who turned their life upside down and drove them to the point of no return. The chorus emphasizes this notion of being at a breaking point with lyrics like "You drove me to the point of no return" and "Can't live another day."
The second verse delves into the aftermath of this relationship, with the singer admitting to feeling lost and directionless. They express thoughts of suicide and feeling like there is no other option. The final line of the song, "You drove me to the point of no return" serves as a bookend to the first half of the chorus, tying together the theme of being pushed to breaking point.
Overall, "Point of No Return" is a poignant and emotional exploration of the impact that relationships can have on our lives. It highlights the idea that sometimes, love can drive us to our limits and forces us to confront who we are and what we want out of life.
