Comeback
ShoutOutLouds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'cause you wouldn't let me sleep last night
I'm a reasonable man
But I can't believe what's on your mind
And the past three weeks
Were the saddest weeks
And the words you said oh
Made me weep
I'm about to crack, so
Let's call this the comeback
Let's call this the comeback
I've been pushed around
And I'm not gonna get pushed this time
'cause the time is mine
But I can't believe what's on your mind
And the past three weeks
Were the saddest weeks
And the words you said oh
Made me weak
I'm outta my mind
I'm about to crack, so
Let's call this the comeback
Let's call this the comeback
Let's call this the comeback
Let's call this the comeback
Let's call this the comeback
Let's call this the comeback
The lyrics to ShoutOutLouds' "Comeback" convey a feeling of exhaustion and anger towards someone who has been occupying the singer's mind, depriving them of sleep and causing them emotional distress. Although the singer's initial response is one of reason, they are appalled by what this person has been thinking about and the words they have said. The past three weeks have been the saddest in the singer's life, and they admit to being on the brink of cracking under the emotional pressure. However, the singer acknowledges that they are tired of being manipulated and pushed around, proclaiming that this time, they will not succumb to such behavior. Hence, the singer declares that this is the "comeback," a moment of reasserting control and standing up for oneself.
One interpretation of this song is that it is about a toxic relationship, where one person holds power over the other through emotional manipulation, causing the other person to be distressed and unhappy. The singer seems to have had enough of this and is determined to "come back" from this control by taking charge and making a change. However, the exact context of the song is open to interpretation, and it could also be about other situations where someone has been pushed around and is now ready to take action.

I remember hearing this on the radio with a friend with whom I didn't get along with that well at the time... we had very different tastes in everything and different manners. But this came on and we both just loved it. I've not listened to this in years. Might give him a message tomorrow.
