Back to You
Pleasure (Feat. Brett Anderson) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And from your back you call my name
And like a fool I run right back to you
And dance along to your latest tune
And when the lands slides
And when the planets die
That's when I come back
And when the sun cools
And when the stars fall
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
You roll those eyes and trap my hand in your thighs
It's slavery but in disguise
And like a fool I run right back to you
There's nothing else that I can do
And when the pigs fly
And when the planets die
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
And when the sun cools
And when the stars fall
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
And when the war machines
Rust eternally
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
And when your heart bleeds
For a love that's dead like me
That's when I come back
When I come back to you
The lyrics of "Back To You" by Pleasure featuring Brett Anderson convey the theme of a deeply unhealthy relationship. The singer is under the spell of a manipulative lover who is consistently drawing them back into a cycle of abuse. The lyrics start by describing how the lover uses their charm to control the singer, as they flick their mane and click their fingers. They can call out the singer's name like a command, and they return like a "fool," dancing to the latest tune.
The repetition of the phrase "when I come back to you" signifies that this is a pattern that has happened time and time again, no matter how destructive the relationship has been. The lyrics continue with imagery of catastrophic events, like landslides, planets dying, suns cooling, and stars falling. These events are juxtaposed with the singer's return to the lover, suggesting that it's not just an unhealthy love affair between two individuals, but a larger-scale catastrophe. It's as though the singer's return to the lover is inevitable, like the natural disasters described in the lyrics.

You flick your mane and click your fingers again
You play with your hair and snap your fingers to get my attention
And from your back you call my name
You call out to me from behind
And like a fool I run right back to you
I always come back to you despite how foolish it may seem
And dance along to your latest tune
I follow your lead in whatever new thing you're doing
And when the lands slides
In moments of chaos and disaster
And when the planets die
In moments of absolute destruction and ruin
That's when I come back
That's when I return
When I come back to you
When I return to you
And when the sun cools
When even the hottest thing in our universe begins to fade
And when the stars fall
When even the brightest things we know begin to die
You roll those eyes and trap my hand in your thighs
You give me a look and hold on to me tightly
It's slavery but in disguise
I'm trapped by you without even realizing it
There's nothing else that I can do
I am powerless to resist you
And when the pigs fly
In seemingly impossible situations
And when the planets die
Even in the face of utter catastrophe
And when the sun cools
Even as the heat of the universe fades away
And when the stars fall
Even as everything around us begins to crumble
And when the war machines
Even in the midst of violence and destruction
Rust eternally
When even the tools of war have given up
And when your heart bleeds
When you feel pain and heartbreak
For a love that's dead like me
For a love that has ended, that I represent
That's when I come back
That's when I return
When I come back to you
When I return to you

Incredible song..!! I Love Brett Anderson..!! Good version too
@roxymemories
Beautiful!!
@springsteen75
The Brett solo/piano version of this song really should have been the best version but for some reason I don't think he quite got it to work the way it should have - so this is probably my favourite version.
