Coming Back
P.O.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's coming back for me and you
3x
It's the low down, the showdown, brothers ready to throw down
No need for us to go down the truth is what we know now
That we have life through my Lord Christ Jesus
No one can love you more than to do the things that He did
So give Him your pass so that He can start to mold ya
Spiritual war, it's a spiritual bout
And we're the first ones in P.O.D. and we're the last ones out
He's coming back
He's coming back for me and you
The first line in P.O.D.'s song "Coming Back" immediately sets the tone for the entire song. The line repeats itself three times before continuing on to explain who is coming back and why. The song is about Jesus Christ's second coming - a widely-recognized event in Christian teachings. The band is using music to convey that they believe that the day Jesus returns to earth to save all the faithful is imminent. The day Jesus will return is a metaphorical discussion of an eventual end to the current order of the world - a day of judgement where the faithful stand to be saved and the unrepentant will be judged accordingly.
The next lines explain a sense of urgency, indicating that the time to prove oneself and one's worthiness is now. It's time to fight the spiritual battle - a fight between good and evil - and to come out with victory, knowing God is on your side. Christians believe that it is only through Christ Jesus that we are saved, and that Jesus died for our sins. Jesus showed love through his many miracles and the ultimate sacrifice of his life, which is why His followers should give Him their entire lives so that He can continue to mold them into the people He needs them to be. The song's message is a call to action, an empowering reminder to stay true to one's beliefs, and to stand strong in one's faith to achieve self-worth and the promise of eternal life.
The final line of the song repeats the beginning and reiterates its message: "He's coming back for me and you." The song ends with a note of hope and anticipation, reminding listeners that the second coming is inevitable and that being prepared for it is the most crucial thing they can do.
