Back to Black
The Reggister's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed
And I tread my troubled track
My odds are stacked
And I'll go back to black
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her and I go back to
I go back to us
I loved you much
It's not enough
You love blow
And I love puff
And life, is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rollin'
Up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her and I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her and I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her and I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her and I go back to us
To us, oh oh oh oh oh oh
You go back to us
In The Reggister's song Back to Black, the singer sings about the pain and heartbreak of a failed relationship. She reflects on how her former partner quickly moved on and returned to his old ways, leaving her to pick up the pieces and try to move forward. The lyrics, "He left no time to regret, kept his dick wet, with his same old safe bet" suggest that the partner was not faithful and did not take time to consider the pain he was causing the singer.
The singer then continues to reflect on her own struggles, admitting that she is "treading [her] troubled track" and facing tough odds. She compares life to a pipe and herself to a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside, suggesting a feeling of helplessness and being trapped. Throughout the song, she acknowledges that the relationship was flawed and that she and her partner both had their own vices, but she still longs to return to the way things were before they went "back to black."
The repeated line "We only said goodbye with words, I died a hundred times, You go back to her and I go back to us" highlights the pain and frustration of trying to move on after a relationship ends. She is stuck in a cycle of heartbreak and betrayal, unable to fully escape the emotions that come with a failed relationship.

You went back to your old ways, returning to things that were familiar to you
So far removed
We're so different now, we're no longer close or connected
From all that we went through
We've been through so much together, but now it feels like it was all for nothing

You love blow
You love drugs and addiction more than you love me
And I love puff
And I love smoking and getting high, but it's not worth losing you over
And life, is like a pipe
Life is like a drug pipe, it can be tempting and addictive but ultimately destructive
And I'm a tiny penny rollin'
I'm just a small and insignificant part of this world, rolling along in the chaos
Up the walls inside
But inside I feel trapped and unable to escape my own pain and sadness
You go back to her and I go back to us
You go back to your old love and I go back to thinking about what we used to have together
To us, oh oh oh oh oh oh
To the memories of our love, the only thing that's left of us now
