Back in the Days
Psychopunch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a sixpack baby & I'm ready to go
Are you coming with me I wanna know
I suffer hard but that's ok
Tomorrow brings a brand new day

I check the time & man I know I'm late
The future is a pile of shit I hate
So wake me up before it's to late

Riding high - flying low
Come on sister take me home
Bullseye honey let me in
I'm dying hard for the perfect sin ohyeah

I'm just another loser that's alright
But the face in the mirror looks so bright
And it makes me feel that I just might

Reach for the sky - I wonder why
I feel this way - I heard someone say
Reach for the sky - don't let it die
Fun things - don't let it go

Back in the days - back in the days
I left it all in a haze - back in the days

The sun wont shine on me no more
I'm lying screaming on the floor




For all the things I never had
And all the things that makes me mad

Overall Meaning

The song Back in the Days by Psychopunch talks about living in the moment, enjoying the present, and being content with oneself. The lyrics suggest that the future may seem bleak and uncertain, but the singer is okay with that. He has a six-pack, feels good, and is ready to enjoy life. The chorus provides a nostalgic tone, reflecting on past times when everything was simpler and more carefree. The last verse paints a darker image of the present, perhaps suggesting that the singer is struggling with regret for things he never had or missed opportunities.


Beyond the surface-level meaning of the lyrics, there is a deeper exploration of themes such as nostalgia, self-acceptance, and the role of fun in life. The notion of "perfect sin" suggests that sometimes it's okay to indulge in vices as long as it brings enjoyment to our lives. The idea of "reaching for the sky" could be interpreted as striving for something more, but ultimately the message is to not lose sight of the small joys in life that bring us happiness.

I'm lying screaming on the floor
I'm writhing on the floor while shouting loud


For all the things I never had
For all the stuff I never achieved


And all the things that makes me mad
And all the stuff that angers me
