I Won't Be Back
M.P.D. Limited Lyrics

The lyrics of M.P.D. Limited's song "I Won't Be Back" describe a situation in which the singer finds themselves in a toxic relationship that they are determined to leave behind. The opening lines "Ubuhlale ungishiya ngihlale ngingedwa, Ubuhlala ungenza islima ngihlale ngingedwa" (meaning "You leave me alone and I sit alone, You do wrong to me and I sit alone") set the scene by showing the loneliness and isolation that the singer experiences in the relationship. The repetitive refrain "What goes around baby always comes around honey" emphasizes the idea that eventually, the bad things that the partner is doing will come back to them, echoing the concept of karma.

The lines "I wont go back ngempela, I won't go back ngiyaktshela, I won't go back I promise oh I promise" (meaning "I won't go back, I'm telling you the truth, I won't go back, I promise") show the singer's determination to leave the relationship and not look back. The latter half of the song repeats this sentiment, further emphasizing the resolve to move on. The lines "Izindlela zakho zingixoshile, Amaphutha akho angimoshile, Amathemba ami aphelile, Izifiso zami ziphelile" (meaning "Your ways have hurt me, Your lies have killed me, My hopes are gone, My desires have ended") describe the emotional damage inflicted by the partner, and the final repetition of "I won't go back" shows the determination to move on from the pain.

Overall, "I Won't Be Back" is a powerful song about the end of a toxic relationship and the resolve to move on and not look back. The repetition of the refrain and the simple yet powerful lyrics convey the emotions of the singer and allow listeners to connect with and understand the message of the song.
