Looking Back
Route 33 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traced in waves my pure delight, expectation never falls.
Arms out wide the worlds a sea, this is the beauty of it all.
I'll share my deepest memory... of you.
Sunlight falls across my sky, I see the beauty of it all.
Traced in waves my pure delight, expectation never falls.
Arms out wide the worlds a sea, this is the beauty of it all.
I'll share my deepest memory... of you.
Though I never really gave it all.
It's the truth I'm only speaking my mind.
I'm looking back at all the things I've done.
Though I never really gave it all.
It's the truth I'm only speaking my mind.
I wish you had a little more time.
Looking back at all the things I've done.
Though I never really gave it all.
It's the truth I'm only speaking my mind.
I wish you had a little more time.
(Time) A little more time... (Time) A little more...
(Time) A little more time...
Sunlight falls across my sky, I see the beauty of it all.
Traced in waves my pure delight, expectation never falls.
Arms out wide the worlds a sea, this is the beauty of it all.
I'll share my deepest memory... of you.
I'm looking back at all the things I've done.
Though I never really gave it all.
It's the truth I'm only speaking my mind.
I wish you had a little more time.
Looking back at all the things I've done.
Though I never really gave it all.
It's the truth I'm only speaking my mind.
I wish you had a little more... (Time)
(I wish you had) A little more time. (I wish you had) A little more...
(I wish you had) A little more time. (Time)
The song "Looking Back" by Route 33 appears to be a reflective and emotional piece, filled with wistful longing and regret. The repeated lines about sunlight falling across the sky and the beauty of it all suggest a kind of nostalgia, as the singer looks back on memories of better times. The line "I'll share my deepest memory...of you" seems to indicate that the subject of these memories is someone the singer has lost or left behind, and is therefore expressing feelings of mourning or yearning.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea of "looking back at all the things I've done", but with the added insight that the singer feels they never gave it their all. This implies a sense of missed opportunities or potential, and a desire to make up for lost time. The final lines "I wish you had a little more time" also suggest that the subject of the memories is someone who has passed away, making the regret and longing even more poignant.
