Rewind
Sofi Bonde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanna get it out
Just make a sound
My mind's running wild
It only plays rewind
Strings about to cry
I can't let them die
Don't keep me framed
If music runs through my veins
Words slip out of my mouth
I can't recognize the sound
I should know what to say
Thoughts won't come my way
Nerves are acting weird
We're so many in here
I know you feel the same
Don't close on me
Don't disagree
Just keep on loving me, babe
What's going on?
Where is it coming from?
Who's talking to me?
Step out so I can see
Someone please press stop
Gotta shut it out
Don't keep me framed
If music runs from my veins
Years slip by in my head
Many stupid things I said
You don't wanna believe
I never am what I seem
My head is close to clear
The end is far away from here
You know I feel the same
Don't close on me
Don't disagree
Just keep on loving me, babe
Don't question why
No need to try
Just keep on loving me, baby
Words slip out of my mouth
I can't recognize the sound
I should know what to say
Thoughts won't come my way
Nerves are acting weird




We're so many in here
I know you feel the same

Overall Meaning

In Sofi Bonde's song "Rewind," she expresses her frustration with her mind being stuck in the past, constantly replaying memories and mistakes like an old tape on repeat. She longs to break free from this cycle and make new music, but her nerves and self-doubt are holding her back. She pleads with her lover to support her and not judge her for her mistakes, assuring them of her love despite her flaws. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a creative mind struggling to break free from its own limitations and find its voice in the present.


The phrase "my mind's running wild, it only plays rewind" speaks to the song's main theme, highlighting the way Bonde's thoughts are trapped in the past, unable to move forward or create anything new. The lines "words slip out of my mouth, I can't recognize the sound, I should know what to say, thoughts won't come my way" further emphasize this struggle, as Bonde grapples with a loss of control over her own creativity and self-expression.


The chorus serves as a plea to her lover to support her and not shut her down or judge her for her mistakes: "Don't close on me, don't disagree, just keep on loving me, babe." These lyrics suggest a fragile emotional state and a fear of rejection, but also a deep desire to be understood and accepted for who she is.


Overall, "Rewind" is a powerful representation of the struggles faced by artists and creatives when trying to break free from their own limitations and find their voices in a world that often fails to understand them.
