Rabbit Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If there's a message from above I didn't hear it.
Where went my spirit?
Drew a map on a paper bag.
You said you loved another boy named Brad,
not me.
Guess I'll run away.
Certain roads.
Certain people.
Certain they know me.
I always take what they give me gladly. Sadly.
Never gonna go back home.
I shot a bird and I watched him die.
Nobody cried when I lost my mind this time.
I'm the king of disaster.
I should have asked her.
So I'll run away.
I'm never gonna go back home.
Walk the city in my sleep.
History is on repeat.
The sun is moving on.
Simply paralyzing.
The lyrics to Rabbit Rabbit's song Back Home are reflective of the artist's troubled mental state and their desire to escape from their current circumstances. The opening line, "I never met a death I didn't love," expresses a fascination with mortality and the idea of finality. The following line, "If there's a message from above I didn't hear it," suggests a feeling of disconnect from spirituality or any greater purpose. The repetition of the phrase "never gonna come back home" throughout the song reinforces the idea that the artist is seeking to escape their current life and find a new path.
The second verse includes the lines "Drew a map on a paper bag. You said you loved another boy named Brad, not me. Guess I'll run away." These lines suggest a failed romantic relationship, and the artist's desire to escape from the pain and heartbreak associated with it. The third verse includes the line "I shot a bird and I watched him die," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the artist's sense of powerlessness and frustration with life. The final lines of the song, "Walk the city in my sleep. History is on repeat. The sun is moving on. Simply paralyzing," suggest a feeling of being trapped or stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and emotion.
Overall, the lyrics to Back Home are a testament to the struggles of mental illness and the desire for escape and renewal.
