Rewind
Rubblebucket Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck in the let-downs.
Laying your ass down.
In the fire, breathe another (?).
They can burn in (?).
The gun stays pointed ahead.
To end fear, occupy, like a protest.
To play like it never has to be that way, you move so fast I forget your name.
You're living on the edge where the good die young, lets kiss all night and reach and tell me why/
Juan come back here.
Come on be a hero.
You got to get us out of here, out of here.
Lets count down to zero.
Exploring our hearts till we cry.
If there's no immmoral.
We can make the future oh no no no.
Lets just pray on our knees now.
We've been really bad people.
To play like it never has to be that way, you move so fast I forget your name.
Rewind, come back here.
You're living on the edge where the good die young, lets kiss all night and reach and tell me why/
Juan come back here.
Feel the lesson.
Past the walls over?
You crucify.
For the light.
Your past will reach you.
Your wandering round' forever.
Doomed to survive.
All the life/light.
To play like it never has to be that way, you move so fast I forget your name.
Rewind, come back here.
You're living on the edge where the good die young, lets kiss all night and reach and tell me why/
Juan come back here.
The lyrics to Rubblebucket's song Rewind seem to be exploring the idea of being haunted by one's past mistakes and failures. The opening lines, "There's always a past. Stuck in the let-downs. Laying your ass down," suggest feelings of being trapped and weighed down by past failures that are difficult to move past. The lines "In the fire, breathe another (?) / They can burn in (?)" perhaps indicate a sense of being surrounded by negativity, with the suggestion that it's possible to rise above it and leave it behind.
The chorus, "Rewind, come back here" suggests a desire to go back and do things differently, to make better choices and avoid past mistakes. The line "You're living on the edge where the good die young, lets kiss all night and reach and tell me why / Juan come back here" seems to speak to a feeling of living dangerously, toying with risk and perhaps not valuing oneself enough. The repeated call for Juan to "come back here" perhaps suggests a need for salvation or rescue from destructive patterns.
Overall, the song seems to be a call to examine one's past, acknowledge failures and regrets, but also to strive for growth and change. The repeated refrain of "to play like it never has to be that way, you move so fast I forget your name / Rewind, come back here" speaks to the desire to be better, to move forward and become someone who no longer lives in the past.
