Coming Back
Methner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

V1
I see a storm and a vessel
And it's fighting its battle
And it finally settles
hmm

Now it's looking for land
See the signal I send

Now it heads to the strand
Hmm

PreCh.:
I
Hope it's you
coming back to me are
You coming back

Ch.:
With the
Rain on my window
Wonder where did you go
Try to warm my soul (when)
Time passes too slow

And the rain on my window
Is turning into snow
Try to warm my soul
Time passes too slow

V2:
Rain or storm doesn't matter
You make it whether the weather
Sure I couldn't do better
Hmm

Swimming against the tide
Hope I can help as your guide
Hope you can follow the light
I send

Ch.:
With the
Rain on my window
Wonder where did you go
Try to warm my soul (when)
Time passes too slow

And the rain on my window
Is turning into snow
Try to warm my soul
Time passes too slow

M8
One day will be together
Bad days we won't remember
I forecast it'll get better
For you and I

3xCh.:
With the
Rain on my window
Wonder where did you go
Try to warm my soul (when)
Time passes too slow

And the rain on my window
Is turning into snow

Try to warm my soul
Time passes too slow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Coming Back" by Methner depict a situation where the singer is observing a metaphorical storm and a vessel battling against it. The storm represents the challenges and difficulties that the vessel, possibly symbolizing a relationship or personal journey, is facing. After much struggle, the storm eventually settles, indicating a moment of calmness and resolution.

At this point, the singer expresses a desire for someone to return, using the metaphor of the vessel looking for land. The signal they send represents their longing and hope for this person to come back into their life. The chorus reflects the singer's feelings of loneliness and longing, as they wonder where the person has gone and try to find comfort in their absence. The rain, which represents sadness and gloom, falls on the singer's window, intensifying their sense of longing and making time feel like it's passing too slowly.

In the second verse, the singer emphasizes that regardless of the weather or circumstances, the person they desire is the one who can make everything better. They express their willingness to support and guide this person, hoping they can provide a guiding light for them to follow. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the singer's feelings of longing, sadness, and the thought that time is dragging on due to the absence of the person they yearn for.

The bridge introduces a more optimistic outlook, suggesting that one day they will be reunited and the difficult times they are going through will fade from memory. The singer forecasts a brighter future for both themselves and the person they want to come back, symbolizing hope and anticipation for better days ahead. The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the continued longing, as the rain on the window transitions into snow, further intensifying the coldness and desolation felt by the singer. They continue to seek solace and warmth for their soul, as time seems to crawl by, amplifying their yearning and anticipation for the person they hope will return.
