Don't look back
Matrix & Futurebound & Tanya Lacey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through my heart too fast
Try to hold the thoughts down
But as your face keeps rising
Playing through my mind
It's time to take this on, now
And you hit the same the line in the edge
But I don't wanna fall down too soon,
Take every moment I can with you,
Not over 'til we're in the clear,
Hold tight and let go of the fear,
All the trouble we've left behind,
We're not gonna get home tonight
(They can't hold us back)
'Cause if we don't look back
Everything's brighter
We're in bigger skies again,
Enough of living in lockdown
They can't hold us back,
We're over the line now,
We'll leave shadows in the rain,
And let the past just fade out
Just fade out
Just fade out
Just fade out
And let the past just fade out
I've got drawn too deep,
Let my conscience sleep,
Too late for a counter attack,
But you and me know we're not coming back, no
We've got all we need,
So it's time to break free
From the corners
Cross the borders
Let the days run into the night
'Cause if we don't look back,
Everything's right here,
We're in bigger skies again,
Enough of living in lockdown,
They can't hold us back,
We're over that line now
We'll leave shadows in the rain
And let the past just fade out
Fade out
Fade out
See the skies up above,
Through the haze, up ahead,
Feel the air move, all around you
As it floats through into the night
(They can't hold us back)
'Cause if we don't look back
Everything's brighter
We're in bigger skies again
Enough of living in lockdown
They can't hold us back
We're over that line now
We'll leave shadows in the rain
And let the past just fade out
Just fade out
Just fade out
Just fade out
And let the past just fade out
Just fade out
Just fade out
Just fade out
And let the past just fade out

As the cars speed past
As life moves quickly around me
Through my heart too fast
I struggle to keep up and process my emotions
Try to hold the thoughts down
I try to control my thoughts and not let them overwhelm me
But as your face keeps rising
But your presence in my mind becomes stronger
Playing through my mind
Replaying memories of you in my head
It's time to take this on, now
It's time to face my feelings and take action
I never held back from the edge,
I am someone who takes risks and lives on the edge
And you hit the same the line in the edge
You are also someone who takes big risks
But I don't wanna fall down too soon,
But I don't want to face the negative consequences too soon
Take every moment I can with you,
I want to cherish every moment with you
Not over 'til we're in the clear,
We can't relax until we are out of harm's way
Hold tight and let go of the fear,
We need to stay calm and let go of our fears
All the trouble we've left behind,
We have put our problems behind us
We're not gonna get home tonight
We are going to stay out and live in the moment
(They can't hold us back)
External forces can't stop us
'Cause if we don't look back
We need to focus on the present
Everything's brighter
Our outlook becomes more positive
We're in bigger skies again,
We are free and can soar high
Enough of living in lockdown
We are tired of feeling trapped and stagnant
We're over the line now,
We have crossed a threshold and cannot turn back
We'll leave shadows in the rain,
We will make a lasting impression on the world
And let the past just fade out
We need to move on from the past
Just fade out
Let it slip away without resistance
See the skies up above,
Look up and take in the world
Through the haze, up ahead,
Despite the uncertainty, we can see our future
Feel the air move, all around you
Sense the change in the atmosphere
As it floats through into the night
As we move forward into the unknown
