Sing It Back
Smoma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bring it back,
Sing it back,
Bring it back,
Sing it back to me

When you are ready, I will surrender
Take me and do as you will
Have what you want, your way's always the best way
I have succumbed to this passive sensation
Peacefully falling away
I am the zombie your wish will command me
Laugh as I fall to my knees

Bring it back,
Sing it back,
Bring it back,
Sing it back to me

Can I control this empty delusion?
Lost in the fire below
And you come running your eyes will be open
And when you come back, I'll be as you want me
Only so eager to please
My little song will keep you beside me
Thinking your name as I sing

Bring it back,
Sing it back,
Bring it back,
Sing it back to me

Bring it back,
Sing it back,
Bring it back,
Sing it back to me

Come to my sweet melody (repeat)
No, you can't help it if you feel have been tempted
By fruit hanging ripe on the tree
And I feel useless
Don't care what the truth is
You will be here come the day
Truth do you hear me?
Don't try to come near me
So tired I sleep through the lie
If you desire to lay here beside me
Come to my sweet melody

Sing it back to me (sing it)
Bring it back (sing it)
Sing it back (sing it)
Bring it back
Sing it back to me

(Sing it, sing it, sing it)
(Sing it back to me)

Bring it back
Sing it back




Bring it back
Sing it back to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Sing It Back" by Moloko are about surrendering to someone else's desires and becoming passive in their presence. The singer is willing to let the other person have their way, even if it means losing control of themselves. The line "I am the zombie your wish will command me" highlights this lack of agency, as the singer is willing to do whatever the other person wants. However, the chorus of "Bring it back, sing it back," shows a desire to regain control and bring the situation back to a more equal and balanced state. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the importance of communication and openness in a relationship.


There is also a sense of longing and attachment in the lyrics, with the singer hoping that their "little song will keep you beside me" and thinking of the other person's name while singing. This could suggest a fear of losing the other person and a desire to hold onto them at any cost. The final verse introduces a sense of conflict and distrust, with the singer acknowledging that the other person may be tempted by someone else ("fruit hanging ripe on the tree") but still hoping they will come back. The repeated line "Sing it back to me" suggests a need for reassurance and validation.
