No Turning Back
M-S-G Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The first time I felt that rush
I knew I had to take that ride
So I packed up all I had
Said I'd give it all 'till the day I die
And sometimes

That's what it takes
To win the life you're after

There's a way if you believe it
But there's no turning back
If you play you've gotta seize it

Well I never was the kind to relate
To the rules - The complicate my life
So I did things my own way
And I always heard them say
Boy - You're only wastin time

That's what it takes
To win the life I'm after

There's no turning back





There's a way if you believe it
There's a way if you believe it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of M-S-G's song, "No Turning Back," speak to the idea of taking risks and pursuing one's goals with unwavering determination. The opening lines, "The first time I felt that rush / I knew I had to take that ride," describe the moment of excitement and drive that one can feel when embarking on a new journey. The singer then goes on to explain that he packed up everything he had and committed to his path "until the day [he] die[s]." This level of devotion and perseverance is required to achieve the life one dreams of.


The second half of the chorus emphasizes that there is "no turning back" once you begin playing the game of pursuit. The line "if you play, you've gotta seize it" indicates that success is not guaranteed, but one must put in the work to make it happen. The second verse continues with the theme of individualism and going against societal expectations. The singer asserts that he was not one to follow rules that complicated his life and instead did things his own way despite being told he was wasting his time. He acknowledges that while his chosen path may be unconventional, it is the only way for him to achieve the life he desires.


Overall, "No Turning Back" encourages listeners to embrace risk-taking and to chase their dreams with tenacity. The song recognizes that achieving success often requires sacrifice and deviation from the norm, but ultimately the reward will be worth it.
