After the commercial success of Bat Out of Hell and Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, and earning a Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance for the song "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", Meat Loaf nevertheless experienced some difficulty establishing a steady career within the United States. The key to this success was his popularity in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland. He received the 1994 Brit Award in the United Kingdom for best-selling album and single. He appeared in the 1997 film Spice World and he ranked 23rd for the number of weeks spent on the UK charts in 2006. He ranks 96th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". Meat Loaf appeared in over 50 films and television shows, sometimes as himself or as characters resembling his stage persona. His film roles include Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and Robert Paulsen in Fight Club (1999). His early stage work included dual roles in the original Broadway cast of The Rocky Horror Show. He also appeared in the musical Hair, both on and Off-Broadway.

It's All Coming Back To Me Now feat. Marion Raven
Meat Loaf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby Baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper
There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, Baby, Baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just what we want to see
Al coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
Meat Loaf Feat. Marion Raven's song "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" is a powerful ballad about the tumultuous emotions that come with confronting memories of a past love. The song's lyrics describe the pain and devastation that the singer experienced in the aftermath of a breakup that left her feeling frozen and alone. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's emotional journey, from the depths of despair to the redemptive power of forgiveness and healing.
The song's chorus serves as a powerful emblem of the emotional journey that the singer is on. When she touches her former lover again, and he touches her back, memories of their past love come flooding back, overwhelming her with powerful emotions that she thought were long buried. The contrast between the painful memories of the past and the possibility of a renewed connection tantalizes and confounds her, leaving her caught between the flesh and the fantasies of her past.
Overall, the song is a powerful testament to the inevitability of the past, despite our best efforts to bury it. The singer's journey to move on from a past relationship is both universal and deeply personal, and the emotions that she experiences will resonate with anyone who has ever loved deeply and then lost that love.
Line by Line Meaning
There were nights when the wind was so cold
There were nights when I felt completely alone and my surroundings only reinforced that feeling
That my body froze in bed
I felt so cold and empty that physical sensations seemed to have no effect on me anymore
If I just listened to it
If I just let myself be consumed by the sound of the wind outside
Right outside the window
I would be reminded of how alone I was and my isolation would be amplified
There were days when the sun was so cruel
There were times and situations that made it impossible to find joy or hope
That all the tears turned to dust
My sadness was so overwhelming that I was numb to it
And I just knew my eyes were
I was certain that my ability to express my emotions was lost to me
Drying up forever
I was afraid that I would never be able to feel anything again
I finished crying in the instant that you left
I reached a point of emotional exhaustion by the time you left me
And I can't remember where or when or how
The end of our relationship was so traumatic that I blocked out any memory of it
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
I actively tried to forget you and the time we spent together
But when you touch me like this
But every time you touch me in this way
And you hold me like that
And hold me close in that way
I just have to admit
I can't deny
That it's all coming back to me
That memories of our relationship are all flooding back to me
When I touch you like this
When I touch you in this way
And I hold you like that
And hold you close in that way
It's so hard to believe but
It's difficult to accept, but
It's all coming back to me
Memories and feelings of our relationship are returning to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)
(Memories and feelings of our relationship are all flooding back to me now)
There were moments of gold
There were times when everything seemed perfect
And there were flashes of light
And there were unexpected sparks of happiness
There were things I'd never do again
There were things we did together that I regret
But then they'd always seemed right
But in the moment, they felt like the right thing to do
There were nights of endless pleasure
There were unforgettable moments of passion and joy
It was more than any laws allow
It was more intense and powerful than anyone could imagine
Baby Baby
A term of endearment used for an intimate partner
If I kiss you like this
If I kiss you in a certain way
And if you whisper like that
If you whisper in a certain way
It was lost long ago
That kind of intimacy hasn't happened in awhile
But it's all coming back to me
But memories and feelings of that intimacy are returning to me
If you want me like this
If you want me in a certain way
And if you need me like that
If you need me in a certain way
It was dead long ago
That kind of need disappeared a long time ago
It's so hard to resist
It's difficult to hold back
And it's all coming back to me
But memories and feelings of that need and want are returning to me
There were those empty threats and hollow lies
There were times when we said things we didn't mean or made promises we couldn't keep
And whenever you tried to hurt me
And whenever you intentionally caused me pain
I just hurt you even worse
I retaliated in a stronger and more painful way
And so much deeper
And with more emotional force
There were hours that just went on for days
There were times when every second felt like an eternity
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
We would reflect on missed opportunities when we were finally alone
That were lost to us forever
Opportunities that could never be reclaimed
But you were history with the slamming of the door
But our relationship ended so abruptly and completely that it was like you never existed
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I found a way to become emotionally resilient again
And I never wasted any of my time on you since then
And I never dwelled on thoughts of our relationship after it ended
If I touch you like this
If I touch you in a certain way
And if you kiss me like that
If you kiss me in a certain way
It was so long ago
That kind of intimacy is a distant memory
But it's all coming back to me
But memories and feelings of that intimacy are returning to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)
(Memories and feelings of that intimacy are all flooding back to me now)
When you see me like this
When you see me in a certain way
And when I see you like that
And when I see you in a certain way
Then we see what we want to see
Then we interpret things in a way that fits our desires and needs
All coming back to me
Memories and feelings of our relationship returning to us
The flesh and the fantasies
Our physical and emotional desires
If you forgive me all this
If you forgive me for everything that happened between us
If I forgive you all that
If I forgive you for everything that happened between us
We forgive and forget
We let go of our resentment and move on
And it's all coming back to me
And memories and feelings of our relationship are returning to us
When you kiss me like this
When you kiss me in a certain way
And when I touch you like that
And when I touch you in a certain way
If you do it like this
If you do it in a certain way
(It's all coming back to me now)
(Memories and feelings of our relationship are all flooding back to me now)

And I hold you like that (hold you like that)

Then we see what we want to see-all coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies-all coming back to me
I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now....
If you forgive me all this (forgive me all this)
If I forgive you all that (forgive you all that)
We forgive and forget and it's all coming back to me now
It's all coming back to me now
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me now....

@-W.W.W-
When you hear it from Celine, it's a good song. But when you hear it from Meatloaf, it's a heartbreaking song. 😢
