Exodus
Mr. Backside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look down from the peak
I look down thinking of it
Those times have ceased
When we were so careless
And it was okay
When we were so flawless
In everything
We blew it to proportion
Now it's not the same
Where are we now
We're all asking
Will we be found overreacting
We're here alone just us
We've come this far together, now look at us
Now look at us
This is our revelation
This is our kingdom come
This is our generation
What we've become
When we were so careless
Was it okay
When were we that flawless
In anything
We had the world in our hands
We blew it to proportion
Now it's not the same
Where are we now
We're all asking
Will we be found overreacting
We're here alone just us
We've come this far together, now look at us
Now look at
Oh, down this narrow road
We were meant to diverge
Now it seems we might purge
It's so incredible we know
We were meant to diverge
Now it seems we might purge
We're on the verge
But I won't ever stop looking forward
I will never turn back
We must accept the past and move forward
We are smarter than that
And I won't ever stop fighting harder
I will never go back
We need to embrace the fact that we're smarter
And we're stronger than that
Where are we now
We're all asking
Will we be found overreacting
We're here alone just us
We've come this far together, now look at us
Here we are now
We are the sanctum of all that's frowned upon
We can take them
We're not alone just us
We've come this far together, now look at us
Now look at us, now look at us
Now look at us, now look at us
This will be our exodus

I look down from the summit
I reflect on my past achievements and success
I look down from the peak
I reflect on reaching the highest point of my journey
I look down thinking of it
I reflect on the memories and experiences associated with that time
Those times have ceased
Those moments of carefree and flawless living are gone
When we were so careless
When we didn't worry about consequences
And it was okay
And we were content with that
When we were so flawless
When we didn't make mistakes
In everything
In all aspects of life
We had the world in our hands
We had control and great potential
We blew it to proportion
We mishandled and exaggerated our opportunities
Now it's not the same
Now the situation has changed
Where are we now
We are reflecting on our current state
We're all asking
We all share the same uncertainty
Will we be found overreacting
Will we be judged for our exaggerated responses
We're here alone just us
We are here facing the consequences by ourselves
We've come this far together, now look at us
We've come a long way as a group, let's evaluate our progress
Oh, down this narrow road
Along this challenging and restricted path
We were meant to diverge
We were meant to take different paths
Now it seems we might purge
Now it appears we may cleanse ourselves and start anew
It's so incredible we know
It's astonishing and we are aware of it
We were meant to diverge
We were meant to take different paths
Now it seems we might purge
Now it appears we may cleanse ourselves and start anew
We're on the verge
We are on the brink of change
But I won't ever stop looking forward
But I will always have a positive outlook for the future
I will never turn back
I will never go back to my old ways
We must accept the past and move forward
We need to acknowledge our history and progress
We are smarter than that
We have learned from our mistakes and are wiser now
And I won't ever stop fighting harder
And I will always strive to overcome challenges
I will never go back
I will never return to a less evolved state
We need to embrace the fact that we're smarter
We should acknowledge our intelligence and growth
And we're stronger than that
And we have become more resilient
Here we are now
Here we stand in the present
We are the sanctum of all that's frowned upon
We represent the rebels against societal norms
We can take them
We can overcome the challenges and criticisms
We're not alone just us
We aren't the only ones fighting against the status quo
We've come this far together, now look at us
We've made progress as a united front, let's appreciate it
Now look at us, now look at us
Let's take a moment to observe our present state
This will be our exodus
This marks our departure from the old ways
Software reboot commencing in 3... 2... 1...
A metaphorical reset is beginning, starting fresh
