Back Out
Radical Noise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna see your sold out proud
I don't wanna hear your unstable mouth
You're going where the wind blows your head
Chained to your cage, dogging from hell

LP's you sell same as a canned bean
Packaged better than a tasteful ice cream
High satisfaction with a fart in my stomach
After a day, I'll throw them to a bin

What a pity! Just crap for me

Your success is your failure
Wake up boy! Your ass gets stepper
One step back and you feel older




Your pocket gets fatter
Back out!

Overall Meaning

The song "Back Out" by Radical Noise highlights the theme of staying true to oneself and not getting swayed by the materialistic world. The starting lines "I don't wanna see your sold out proud, I don't wanna hear your unstable mouth" speak volumes about how the singer has no interest in someone who has compromised their values and principles just to gain worldly success. The third line, "You're going where the wind blows your head," further emphasizes this point by implying that the person in question has no say in their own decisions and is blindly following the direction in which the wind of materialistic gain is blowing.


The metaphor "Chained to your cage, dogging from hell" exemplifies how the individual's own ambition has caged them in and made them a dog for the devil. The following lines, "LP's you sell same as a canned bean, Packaged better than a tasteful ice cream, High satisfaction with a fart in my stomach, After a day, I'll throw them to a bin" serve as a strong statement that success attained through compromising one's principles is nothing more than a momentary pleasure that is ultimately discarded like garbage.


In the end, the song's chorus emphasizes that one should always stick to their true self and "Back out" if they feel like they are straying from it, which means to walk away from anything that compromises their values.
