Coming Back
Ross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to wake to the morning and feel like the world was created for me I used to wait for the morning so eagerly, sometimes I just couldn't sleep
It might have started the first time I got really sick and my mum wasn't there Three years of college and I had forgotten that I used to find living rare
But it's all coming back to me now It's all coming back to me now
It's all coming back to me now
Last week I wondered if dying would feel like the stories the catholic church told But I used to talk to my mother about how I just couldn't wait to get old
And it's all coming back to me now It's all coming back to me now
It's all coming back to me now
I used to wake to the morning and feel like the world was created for me




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ross's song "Coming Back" reflect the process of rediscovering oneself and finding a sense of purpose and joy in life after going through a difficult period. The opening lines convey a sense of optimism and excitement, describing how the singer used to wake up each morning feeling like the world was made just for them. They eagerly awaited the morning, sometimes unable to sleep due to the anticipation of what each new day would bring.


However, the song takes a turn as the singer reflects on a time when they fell ill and their mother wasn't able to be there for them. This experience seems to have had a profound impact on their perspective, as they spent three years in college but had forgotten how to appreciate the beauty and preciousness of life. Despite this, the chorus hints at a positive change, as everything that was lost is slowly coming back to them.


In the following verse, the singer ponders about death, questioning if it would feel like the stories they heard in the catholic church. They remember conversations with their mother, expressing their eagerness to experience old age. This reflection indicates a profound shift in their mindset, as they have moved from a place of indifference and unfulfillment to a renewed desire to embrace life in all its forms.


Overall, "Coming Back" depicts a journey of rediscovery and renewal, where the singer reflects on past experiences and rekindles their appreciation for life. It serves as a reminder to cherish the small moments, find purpose in each new day, and embrace the joy that comes with personal growth and self-discovery.

When mike left the show there was an instant loss of energy from the cast it felt off the episode he came back here the energy picked right back up, it shows you how important chemistry is to a series

Dreams & Teddy Bears

After all Loss rhymes with Ross aha!!!

David

I'm curious though, did he wanted to leave the show? Or did they not resign the contract?

Mutant Raze

@Davidhe wanted to leave and thought leaving the same time as meghan markle leaving made the most sense for the story. I’d still rather they not even have the show without him but its his decision
