Rewind
Takykardia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And our hearts
turned all black
as we fought
Rewind
Make our blood
run backwards

As we're running to the wardrobe hand in hand you'd take me anywhere I would demand
You'd go down on me in Italy,
intimacy is what we need now that we can
And the protection lies beside the bed
I think we thought it'd be sorta cool
We're at the age for that, it's just that in my life I still haven't got a clue

And our hearts
turned all black
as we fought
Rewind
Make our blood
run backwards

As we swim into the ocean
hand in hand I feel that we have been way closer
Your finger's slippery after caressing snail trails
and I wonder if you ever told her
Is it beginning or is it the end I don't know I'm just glad I got to know you
It's just so sad that you don't know me at all, I just guess that's what you actually chose to

And our hearts
turned all black
as we fought
Rewind




Make our blood
run backwards

Overall Meaning

The song "Rewind" by Takykardia is an introspective ballad about a complicated and intense relationship. The opening lines suggest a sense of darkness and bitterness that has crept into the lovers' hearts. The use of the phrase "turned all black" implies that they were once full of light and hope, but now they seem to be consumed by negativity. The line "as we fought" implies that conflict has been a constant presence in their relationship, and the singer longs to go back to a time before they started to lose their way.


The chorus of the song repeats the same phrase twice, "Rewind, make our blood run backwards". This is an expressed desire to reverse time, even though that is impossible. It's a plea to go back to a time when things were less complicated, less hurtful, and less painful. The lovers want to undo all the wrongs that have been committed, all the pain they've caused each other, and start anew.


The two verses of the song paint vivid pictures of the couple's shared experiences. We see them running to a wardrobe together, and the singer expresses their partner's willingness to do anything for them. The line "You'd go down on me in Italy" is a euphemistic reference to oral sex, suggesting the passion and openness that existed in their relationship. The second verse describes the couple swimming together and sharing intimate moments. The final lines of the verse suggest a sense of resignation on the part of the singer, who acknowledges that the relationship may be coming to an end, and that their partner has never truly understood them.


Overall, "Rewind" is a heartfelt and introspective song about the complexities and pain of romantic relationships. The singer longs to go back to a simpler time, even though they know it's impossible. The song's haunting melody and poetic lyrics make it a powerful exploration of the human heart and its yearning for connection, meaning, and love.


Line by Line Meaning

And our hearts
The emotional center of our being


turned all black
Have become dark and tormented


as we fought
As we battled against each other


Rewind
Go back in time


Make our blood
Reverse the flow of our life force


run backwards
Reverse the normal direction of our bodily functions


As we're running to the wardrobe hand in hand you'd take me anywhere I would demand
We were together, ready to go anywhere and do anything for each other


You'd go down on me in Italy,
We were intimately close in a foreign land


intimacy is what we need now that we can
Our relationship lacked intimacy and closeness


And the protection lies beside the bed
Contraceptives were readily available near us


I think we thought it'd be sorta cool
We believed it would be an interesting experience


We're at the age for that, it's just that in my life I still haven't got a clue
We were both young and inexperienced and unsure of what to do


As we swim into the ocean
As we explore the depths of our relationship


hand in hand I feel that we have been way closer
We felt a deep connection with each other


Your finger's slippery after caressing snail trails
We engaged in intimate activities together


and I wonder if you ever told her
I questioned whether you had shared our intimate moments with someone else


Is it beginning or is it the end I don't know I'm just glad I got to know you
I was uncertain as to the fate of our relationship but grateful for the time we had together


It's just so sad that you don't know me at all, I just guess that's what you actually chose to
You were not truly familiar with who I am and perhaps didn't want to be
