Back To Earth
STEVE AOKI feat. STEVE AOKI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think that I was meant to be next to you, to you
On this planet spinning
I think that I was meant to be next to you, to you
And you know I found the dust to be resilient
And we're the dirtiest of the dirt
Every time we fall to pieces
We build something new out of the hurt
To earth, to earth, to earth, to earth
We can never come back to earth, to earth, to earth
Are you living your life or just waiting to die?
The bright, the bright, the bright
The brightest things fade the fastest
All my life, the bright, the bright, the bright
The brightest things fade out the fastest
Whoa, whoa, whoa
The brightest things fade the fastest
Whoa, whoa, whoa
The brightest things fade the fastest
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
This is a crooked path
I think that I was meant to be next to you, to you
We can never come back (we can never come back)
I think that I was meant to be next to you, to you
And you know I found the dust to be resilient
And we're the dirtiest of the dirt
Every time we fall to pieces
We build something new out of the hurt
And we can never come back to earth
To earth, to earth, to earth, to earth
We can never come back to earth, to earth, to earth
Are you living your life or just waiting to die?
The bright, the bright, the bright
The brightest things fade the fastest
All my life, the bright, the bright, the bright
The brightest things fade out the fastest
Whoa, whoa, whoa
The brightest things fade the fastest
Whoa, whoa, whoa
The brightest things fade the fastest
(Fastest)
The brightest things fade the fastest
Whoa, whoa, whoa
The brightest things fade the fastest
Whoa, whoa, whoa
The brightest things fade the fastest
The brightest things fade the fastest
The brightest things fade the fastest
The lyrics of Steve Aoki ft. Fall Out Boy’s song “Back to Earth” seem to focus on the idea of finding one’s place in the world and embracing the journey. The opening lines, “It was just the beginning, I think that I was meant to be next to you,” suggest an optimism and sense of destiny. The following lines, “On this planet spinning, I think that I was meant to be next to you,” reinforce this notion of mutual purpose in a chaotic world.
The chorus, “And we can never come back to earth, to earth, to earth, to earth,” offers an interesting contrast to the hopeful opening. Instead of seeing the world as a place of limitless possibilities, the lyrics imply that once the journey is started, there is no going back. This may suggest a certain urgency to the mission and a reminder that all things eventually come to an end. The line, “The brightest things fade the fastest,” is a reminder that even the most brilliant moments in life are fleeting and should be cherished.
Overall, the lyrics of “Back to Earth” are a reflection on the transience of life and the need to embrace that which makes us feel most alive. It is a reminder to seize every opportunity and make the most out of the time we are given.

It was just the beginning
We're just getting started
I think that I was meant to be next to you, to you
I feel like we're supposed to be together
On this planet spinning
Living on this unpredictable world
And you know I found the dust to be resilient
I've learned that even amidst chaos, we can persevere
And we're the dirtiest of the dirt
We're not perfect, we have flaws
Every time we fall to pieces
Whenever things fall apart
We build something new out of the hurt
We use the pain as a catalyst for growth
And we can never come back to earth
We can never return to the way things were
Are you living your life or just waiting to die?
Are you really making the most of your time?
The bright, the bright, the bright
Things that appear exciting and dazzling
The brightest things fade the fastest
Often those things that initially seem great don't last
All my life, the bright, the bright, the bright
Throughout my whole existence, the things that appear impressive don't stick around
Whoa, whoa, whoa
An exclamation to emphasize the point being made
This is a crooked path
Life isn't always straightforward
We can never come back (we can never come back)
We can never return to the way things used to be
The brightest things fade the fastest (fastest)
Those things that initially appear amazing often don't last
The brightest things fade the fastest
Those things that initially seem impressive often don't endure
Whoa, whoa, whoa
An exclamation to emphasize the point being made
The brightest things fade the fastest
Those things that initially seem exceptional often don't last
The brightest things fade the fastest
Those things that appear dazzling often don't endure
The brightest things fade the fastest
Those things that initially seem impressive often don't stick around
The brightest things fade the fastest
Those things that appear exciting often don't endure
