Sit Back
Seb Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a quarter past twelve and I already feel fucked up
I could tell you all about what went wrong
But right now I don’t feel like talking at all
Sit back and enjoy the ride
We can only go up from here
Lean back, relax and try to
Find the rhythm
Can't change a thing about so I stopped giving a damn
I could waste hours being sad
But later on I'll probably resent myself for
All the things I could’ve done
Sit back and enjoy the ride
We can only go up from here
Lean back, relax and try to
Find the rhythm
Sit back and enjoy the ride
We can't go further downhill
Lean back, relax and try to
Find the rhythm
I tried going full throttle
That didn't work for me
Been flying like a bottle rocket
I have gone full speed
Now I hit the brakes
On my way down
Tomorrow I'll pick it back up where I left off
Keep telling myself I should
Take a slow day
Take a slow day
Sit back and enjoy the ride
We can only go up from here
Lean back, relax and try to
Find the rhythm
Sit back and enjoy the ride
We can't go further downhill
Lean back, relax and try to
Find the rhythm
It's been a long day
Don't be so hard on yourself
It's been a long day
Don't be so hard on yourself
It's been a long day
Don't be so hard on yourself
It's been a long day
Don't be so hard on yourself
In Seb Adams's song "Sit Back," the lyrics depict a sense of weariness and frustration but also an acceptance of the circumstances. The opening lines, "I woke up at nine o'clock, It's a quarter past twelve and I already feel fucked up," suggest that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and perhaps regretful about something that has happened earlier in the day, but they don't want to dwell on it or discuss it.
The chorus, "Sit back and enjoy the ride, We can only go up from here, Lean back, relax and try to find the rhythm," encourages a more optimistic outlook. It implies that despite the current troubles, the only direction left to go is up, and the listener should try to find their groove or a sense of balance amidst the chaos. It's a call to embrace the present and make the best of the situation.
The second verse reveals the singer's realization that they cannot change their circumstances or undo past mistakes. They mention being "out of luck" and deciding to stop caring or wasting time on sadness. They recognize that lingering in negativity won't bring any benefits and may even lead to regret later.
The bridge talks about the singer's past approach of going "full throttle" and trying to move ahead quickly, perhaps without considering the consequences. However, they have come to a point where they hit the brakes and decide to take things slower. They plan to start again the next day and remind themselves to be kinder to themselves, to not be too hard on themselves for the mistakes they've made or the challenges they've faced.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to let go of past regrets, accept the present, and find a sense of peace and balance in their lives. It's a reminder to take a step back, enjoy the journey, and not be too harsh on oneself.

I woke up at nine o'clock
I started my day early
It's a quarter past twelve and I already feel fucked up
Although it's still early afternoon, I'm already feeling exhausted or distressed
I could tell you all about what went wrong
I have the ability to explain all the things that went awry
But right now I don’t feel like talking at all
Currently, I have no desire to engage in conversation
Sit back and enjoy the ride
Relax and find pleasure in the journey
We can only go up from here
Things can only improve from this point onwards
Lean back, relax and try to
Take a laid-back approach, unwind, and attempt to
Find the rhythm
Discover a harmonious flow
Lately it seems I'm out of luck
Recently, it appears that fortune is not on my side
Can't change a thing about so I stopped giving a damn
Since I cannot alter the situation, I have chosen not to care anymore
I could waste hours being sad
I could spend countless hours feeling sorrowful
But later on I'll probably resent myself for
However, in the future, I might harbor resentment towards myself for
All the things I could’ve done
Not taking advantage of all the opportunities available to me
We can't go further downhill
Our circumstances cannot worsen
I tried going full throttle
I attempted to give it my all
That didn't work for me
Unfortunately, that approach was unsuccessful for me
Been flying like a bottle rocket
I've been moving rapidly and recklessly, like a firework rocket
I have gone full speed
I have been operating at maximum velocity
Now I hit the brakes
Now I am slowing down or stopping abruptly
On my way down
While descending or facing difficulties
Tomorrow I'll pick it back up where I left off
Tomorrow, I will resume from the point I previously paused or stopped
Keep telling myself I should
I consistently remind myself that I ought to
Take a slow day
Take a day to unwind and relax
It's been a long day
The day has been tiring and challenging
Don't be so hard on yourself
Be kinder and less critical towards yourself
