Back To You
S.S.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stay away so long
But when my strength is gone
I bring it on back to you
It's only when I learn
I've nowhere else to turn
I bring it on back to you

The fading light and cold of night
That leads me to your door
Has brought me back, a broken man
And you take me in once more

And tho' an angry word
Is all that I deserve
I bring it on back to you
Mmm, I can't imagine why
I ever left your side
I bring it on back to you

When everything I planned
Slips right from my hands
I bring it on back to you, mmm-mmm
And all that I desire
Is more than I can stand
I bring it on back to you

The fading light and cold of night
That leads me to your door
Has brought me back, a broken man
And you take me in once more

The promises I left
This time I won't forget
I bring it on back to you
And starting here and now
I'll make it up somehow




After all I put you through
Oh oh oh, I bring it on back to you

What concerns me is things like looking at your house.

Well I don't have money to move or renovate, but I have to use a wheelchair... So yeah I'm going to have to hoist it around or I'm not going anywhere. I have no assistance!

That's pretty frustrating how their investigation is heavily based on assumptions. Maybe it's because I'm young, but since I don't have benefits yet, I can't afford to help myself so my only choice is to push through pain

You can see it on my face though. Like hella lol.

This is really sad. People just want help so they can live their lives without suffering so much!

The vehicles too. I don't chose my parents' vehicles and no one expected my spine to be this unstable at 24 :(

And by push through pain, I mean a 5 minute walk out the door means down time for a few hours. 😂 Very very frustrating



Angella fraser

I am physically and permanently disabled with a back condition that shoots pain down into both legs at different times
I have good days or bad days
This disability was meant to destroy my faith in Jesus Christ and it literally almost did,no lie
On a good day I can drive my car for 10 to 30 minutes,I love doing that because it makes me feel independent
I have things I would love to try and do,like taking a bath in a tub,I take showers with a shower chair
I love going to the pool and I stayed in the water for 4 hours once with .y grandchildren and when I decided to come out,I could pull myself up out of the water using the railing and my legs,I got so heavy the lifeguard had to run to help me
I was so upset and humiliated and embarass,I stay away for the rest of the year but I learn to never do that again
After an hour in the pool,I get out and take a 45 minute rest and leave after 3 hours and lay on a towel sometimes,its very difficult getting down so low,I use my walker or wheelchair to get that low and truly fight to get back up
It can take 2 days to 6 weeks to recover from a bad muscle spasm flare up
I had to figure out everything for myself,the doctors don't tell you
I have to sit in a wheelchair to sweep the floor,4 minutes into sweeping standing up,weaken my back and trigger level 7 pain but I notice when I sit and sweep it doesn't bother me severely
The doctors don't tell you these things and they see thousands of people with back problems
I use a wheelchair to do dishes and no cupboards,I have a portable rolling shelf that I can reach with a wheelchair sitting in it
After 4 to 5 hours of been upright I lay down,the last 4 years this has been my routine
In 2023 I was able to stay upright for 8 hours before I start feeling level 7 pain,I cry and gave The Lord Almighty glory
I lay down every 3 to 4 hours after that for about 3 days
I did this same thing in 2021 and was bedridden for over a week and I cried so much that week and I say never again
I cant tell you when I will have a good day or how my back will be next week
Am outside 2 to 3 days out of the week
I was never an inside person



Angella fraser

Getting in and out of a car,it took several screaming episodes getting in and out of a car because I was doing it the way normal people with a good back does it and I told all the back doctors this and none of these wicked human beings told me not to and how to do it
I had to figure out every change that I made for myself in my own life,none of these wicked doctors help me made these changes
To get in and out of a car,open the car door and turn your back to the seat and sit down,never lift your feet and bend to sit down,once you're seated then turn a little and lift your feet one at a time
I had to figure out how I was going to get in and out of a car and I cant get into a car 5 days a week,3 days in a row is a maximum for me
These doctors they see thousands of patient in workers comp with back problems and they will not give you a list of how to get around everyday activities or some day activities,they abandon you to suffer or check out or figure things out yourself
And many ex workers often take there own lives
I got up 5 to 6 days per week and went to work for 30 years,only 8 months out of that 30 years I didn't work
And only Jesus Christ saved me when I realize I couldn't work anymore like that
My brain and my body was still switching on like an automatic machine to get up and go to work and I would wake up and forgot about my back and just fall to the ground and pure screaming and then I would whimper like a dog when I realize am not going to work,I cant work
These ssa people they are doing everything so more of you will take your own lives sometimes but put your trust in God alone

Pretty bad that I can be considered "abled" when I clean for an hour on one day (no one to help me), but then spend 3 days in an agonizing state of swollen/sore/tender condition.
I didn't pay decades into SSA to be denied MY OWN MONEY when I need it.

Leonore Bongert

Totally agree with you! My health problems are like yours. Sometimes I feel ok for a few days, but then it changes. It's how I won disability in the first place. How could they take it away when sometimes, I'm having an ok day? It makes no sense!

Man Mountain Metals

😂 yes, I can totally relate. Half a day of work equals 3 days of pain.

Ashley B

@Leonore BongertAs long as you let them know that in your paperwork (a few days you are fine but most days are not) when applying then you should be okay.

scott

I did...pounding pizza dough at 19 hurt hand and thought it was my ski pole. I did construction and don't know how I stood the pain...disability denied! X-rays aren't proof?

I’ve listened to all of that list and I am dead serious when I ask this. What ARE you allowed to do? Some of that stuff on that list is just silly to be doing on disability, but for example, I play my harp at home when I feel well enough. God for bid I buy a new string for it and suddenly I’m booted off disability because now they know I can play a harp. I have some physical and mental disabilities. If a bag of dog food comes, I can’t lift it so I try to drag in the front door. Yes it’s a struggle but do they expect me to hire people to bring things in for me and to walk my trash to the curb? It literally sounds like you cannot do anything at all PERIOD. It’s honestly almost as stressful as dealing with all these conditions doctors and meds. I already feel like my country has failed me, but feeling like they’re in the corner of my room just watching my absolute every move is just not giving me any hope in humanity

E.

EXACTLY. I'm Terrified to literally do Anything. I'm a recluse/shut in Bc of my disability, But I Stay that way Bc Of SSA. I even stopped taking walks in my neighborhood. It's Disgusting; I'm starting to get (social anxiety type) issues bc of all this

SLY14KT©️™️R

Agreed. Damnit if you do, damit if you don't. If, you are here illegally, there Golden. No harassment. Tis opiniones.

So… someone on disability needs to hire a helper and a driver.

Riley Kittendorf

Basically yeah. I’m still battling disability for 6 years now and now my claim had to go to federal court which is going to take forever. The last ALJ I saw did something unlawfully so we are taking it to federal. I’m not trying to be insensitive, but we’re dumping all of our money into other countries wars and feeding everyone. Illegals come here and boom they get Medicaid. I can’t even get Medicaid because my claim had denied. How messed up is that. The only help I have AT ALL is food stamps. My country has failed me and I have lost all hope. I just don’t want this life anymore
