Sing It Back
Moloko (Boris Musical Mix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me and do as you will
Have what you want, your way's always the best way
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully falling away
I am the zombie your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees
Lost in the fire below
And you come running your eyes will be open
And when you come back, I'll be as you want me
Only so eager to please
My little song will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I sing
(Sing it back to me)
(Sing it back to me)
No, you can't help it if you have been tempted
By fruit hanging ripe on the tree
And I feel useless
Don't care what the truth is
You will be here come the day
Truth do you hear me?
Don't try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie
If you desire to lay here beside me
Come to my sweet melody
Sing it back to me (sing it)
Bring it back (sing it)
Sing it back (sing it)
Bring it back
Sing it back to me
(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
(Sing it back to me)
Bring it back
Sing it back
Bring it back
Sing it back to me
The lyrics to Moloko's "Sing It Back" are a complex combination of surrender, temptation, and desire. The singer is willing to give themselves completely to the person they're addressing, allowing them to do as they will and take whatever they want. They've succumbed to a passive sensation, allowing themselves to be controlled by the other person's whims. They're willing to fall to their knees at the other person's command, even as they feel out of control and lost in a fire.
Despite this apparent surrender, the singer questions whether they can control this "empty delusion" and wonders if they're simply lost in the passion of the moment. However, they continue to sing a little song that keeps the other person beside them, and they urge them to "sing it back" to solidify their connection.
The second half of the song is a more direct plea to the other person, asking them not to be tempted by other fruit hanging on the tree. The singer feels useless and uncaring about the truth, but they know the other person will be there for them when they need them. They sing their sweet melody, urging the other person to come lay beside them and fall under their spell once again.
Overall, the lyrics to "Sing It Back" can be interpreted as a complex exploration of desire, surrender, and control. The singer is willing to give themselves completely to the other person, but they're also aware of their lack of control and the dangers of temptation. Despite this, they continue singing their little song and urging the other person to sing it back to them, hoping to solidify their connection.
