going out of control
spun out of control
back home alone
let me tell you about the life i live
fuck you and your eye are red
eddie cane aint lies a bitch lies like this
tell lie
The lyrics of the song "Back Home" by Shawn Anthony describe a person who can stand alone, but at times, feels like they are losing control of their life. The use of the phrase "spun out of control" further emphasizes this point. Despite this feeling, the person remains alone and is left to face their struggles by themselves. They proceed to reflect on the life they live and express frustration towards someone whose eye is red, possibly indicating they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The mention of Eddie Cane, a fictional character associated with the mafia in popular culture, suggests a feeling of betrayal as they claim that Eddie Cane doesn't lie, but someone else does. The last line of the song "bitch lies like this, tell lie" is a form of wordplay where the word "lie" is used both as a noun and a verb.
The song showcases a complex set of emotions that relate to feeling isolated, frustrated, and betrayed. It also reflects the reality of substance abuse that can lead to strained relationships and conflicts in an individual's life. The choice of wording and phrasing used in the lyrics shows a masterful use of language to convey these emotions.
