Rewind
Neel And The Lightbulbs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's so soon she said words she had to sing...
She'd never gave it all the way...
Her face it have a light was not memory of the night...
Her words half truth that you get away the truth...
Go back rewind I wanna breathe I 'm chocking inside...
Go back rewind...
The first move that I make...
What would be the first blow that I take... Take... Take...
Her smile I wanna grave for just like never saw a can inside a microwave...
Go back rewind I wanna breathe I 'm chocking inside...
Go back rewind in time...
Go back rewind I wanna breathe I 'm chocking inside...
Go back rewind in time I wanna breathe I 'm chocking inside
The lyrics of Neel and The Lightbulbs' song "Rewind" speak of a woman who entered the singer's room and sang words that were half-truths. Despite this, she possessed a light on her face that he couldn't forget. He feels choked inside and wants to go back and rewind time to relive the moment. He wonders what the first move or blow would be and longs to preserve the woman's smile forever, like a can inside a microwave.
The song's meaning is open to interpretation, but it appears to be about regret and the desire to relive a moment in time. The singer wishes he could go back and do things differently. The woman's half-truths and the singer's own choices led to the current situation where he feels choked and suffocated. The theme of going back in time is reinforced by the repetition of the phrase "go back, rewind."
