Rewind
T-ak and Ellie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm dealing with dilemmas in my now so stressful life.
I'm drinking stronger spirits, made my home here on the floor,
And I'm losing all ambition and goals
I'm going all out, I'm thinking you're just as bad.
[Chorus]
I'm not sleeping at night, but I'm going from bar to bar.
Remember at 16 the crazy drunken night we had,
When I kissed you in the hallway, then I took you straight to bed.
Two years on I'm still the same boy, and
[Chorus: x2]
You might blame it on me, but you insisted that we fall.
Wiped your hands of me and said you needed more, more, more!
[Chorus: x2]
Why can't we just rewind?
The lyrics to "Rewind" by T-ak and Ellie describe the aftermath of a broken relationship. The singer is picking up the pieces of what their partner has left behind and struggling to cope with the stress and upheaval in their life. They are drinking to ease the pain and losing their sense of ambition and direction. It's clear that the relationship was tumultuous and possibly even toxic, with the singer admitting that they are just as bad as their partner.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's longing to go back in time and make things right. They are not able to sleep and are spending their nights searching for solace in bars. They are questioning why they can't just rewind and go back to a happier time. The second verse refers to a moment of happiness in the past, when the two lovers were young and carefree. But even after two years, the singer is still the same person, in love with the same person, and unable to move on.
The overall theme of the song is regret and the pain of losing someone you love. The singer is haunted by the memories of the good times and struggling to come to terms with the present reality. The song is a powerful representation of the raw emotion that comes with a broken heart.

I can’t...
I can understand why people hate this show
I can understand why people think it’s not getting better
I can understand why people think Rooster teeth is just falling apart...
...but no matter what I hear...I can’t stop loving RWBY, I can’t hate something that gave me such creative passion...in a way I feel RWBY has helped me better myself...and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to hate it for that

ELLIE NOOOO, WHY HER. She was genuinely one of the funniest/best people in the office

@Joshua Fogg ye but they werent losing money like they are now. Foundation was roting but it needed strong push to fall apart. So ye it was bound to happen sooner or later. Thanks to RT management it happened sooner.

There were a lot of things, signs that were being posted long before the cascade happened. With everything that is going on, im just willing to call 2010's: "The insane decade" and rooster teeth's fall, happened because of the insane decade.
Joshua Fogg
@Mordred Von Umbra I'd argue the fuel was there even before Monty died, and his death was actually the spark. The fallout over Vic is just a resulting explosion.
DrDerp
@Mordred Von Umbra what I ment was, for someone who doesn't follow this stuff it would be fine, because so far the only 2 things that were addressed in actual content were Bruce leaving and the 50 person lay off
Mordred Von Umbra
@DrDerp The hell was hot before this surfaced trust me. Volume 6 is what covered the ground with gasoline. Vic? He was the spark.

What you were describing (re what she said about shame) is called imposter syndrome. You reach a point where you feel that everything you have done/accomplished is due to luck, coincidence, others' efforts, etc. and that eventually you will be "found out" and exposed as the fraud you think you are. She's right; it creates deep shame, and that shame inhibits creativity. There is no easy solution to this syndrome. I feel at least a part of it would be grounding yourself and making sure to keep an external frame of reference, whether that be by family, friends, loved ones, people you know who will be ruthlessly honest with you when you need it and give you the "rebuke of a friend" to keep you on the right path. Another part would involve not thinking too highly of yourself, not "believing your own press reports" so to speak, and regular self-inspection and humility. Just my opinion of course.

@Sharon Young Hmm, that would actually kind of make sense with how quickly she may have risen through the ranks of RT. Although, it sounds like she's done a great job and it was earned but I suppose that's a matter of opinion. All in all it adds an interesting perspective to the statement, thank you for sharing
Sharon Young
@Hero Hei I don't know enough about her situation and how she came to RT and what she has done while there. It could be she has risen higher in her career than she thought she would - or thought she could - and is stepping back from what feels like the lip of a canyon. It could also be that given the mass instability in the entire RT situation, her own insecurities are being magnified, and taking a step back is something she feels is best for both her sanity and her career (and career prospects). Of course all this is speculation. But it is not inconceivable that the instability in RT as a whole is resonating with the instability in her heart and spirit.
Hero Hei
Very interesting.. May I ask how you think she is mentioning this regarding RT or why you think she'd mention it in the statement and stuff? I'd love your take on that!
