Come Back
TEEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call the drive, a baby pill, until the sleep on
Singing in the choir for little voices screaming nonsense
Just to see what it will do to the common few
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
I'll do it better than anybody else
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
Anybody else
Sitting on top of giant pile, for the worship
? how the wind, into the... family seats
A little growth... and you can't imagine
You don't have a hard to be... truth
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
I'll do it better than anybody else
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
I'll do it better than anybody else
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
I'll do it better than anybody else
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
I'll do it better than anybody else
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
I'll do it better than anybody else
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
I'll do it better than anybody else
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
I'll do it better than anybody else
I'll do it better, I'll do it better
I'll do it better than anybody else.
The lyrics to TEEN's song "Come Back" are abstract and open to interpretation. The song seems to be about the desire to excel and surpass others. The first verse talks about riding around, fighting, and bowing one's head down. This could be a metaphor for struggling to find one's place and feeling defeated. The line "call the drive, a baby pill, until the sleep on" could suggest the idea of numbing oneself to the challenges of life.
The second half of the verse mentions singing in a choir for little voices screaming nonsense, which could be interpreted in different ways. It might relate to the idea of following along with others, even if what they're saying doesn't make sense to you, or to the desire to disrupt the status quo and see what happens. The repeated line "I'll do it better than anybody else" in the chorus might be a response to feeling like an outsider or not measuring up to others. It could represent the desire to prove oneself or to achieve greatness.
The second verse is even more mysterious, with references to sitting on top of a giant pile and the wind blowing into family seats. The lines "A little growth... and you can't imagine / You don't have a hard to be... truth" are difficult to interpret. They might suggest that growth and change are difficult to imagine, or that it's hard to accept certain truths about oneself. Overall, the song seems to be about the desire to excel and stand out, even in the face of obstacles or uncertainty.
