Back To You
Twin Forks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which was my place and which was not
Thought I had a good shot
I took it right in my eye
Look ahead, look behind
Take another, I don't mind
I, oh, I, oh
Follow the signs right back to you
Back to you, back to you
I know they wind right back to you
Back to you
So, put a poesy in your hair
Pretend you couldn't give a care
Whistle past the graveyard
Even the dead deserve a song
Let the moon do what she does
She don't need to make a fuss
She don't know she shines for us
Something tells me that she does
Follow the signs right back to you
Back to you, back to you
I know they wind right back to you
Back to you, back to you
Time after time, I follow signs
I know they wind right back to you
Love, lower your eyes
Leave me a sign
Follow the signs right back to you
Back to you, back to you
I know they wind right back to you
Back to you, back to you
I trust the signs so I may find my way to you
Back to you, back to you
Follow the signs right back to you
The lyrics to Twin Forks's song "Back To You" describe the feeling of being lost or out of place and trying to find one's way back. The singer reminisces about a time when they were young and didn't know their place, but thought they had a good shot at something. However, they took a hit and lost their way. Now, they look ahead and behind, willing to take another chance, and they choose to follow the signs that lead them back to what they believe is their true home or path in life.
The song includes metaphors that convey a sense of beauty and hope. The line "put a poesy in your hair" suggests an adornment of natural beauty, and the phrase "whistle past the graveyard" implies a sense of resilience and defiance in the face of death or fear. The moon, too, is a symbol of hope and guidance, shining for everyone to see even if it doesn't realize it. Ultimately, the singer trusts the signs and believes that they will lead them back to wherever they belong, back to the person or place they love.
Overall, "Back To You" is a hopeful and uplifting song about finding one's way back to what matters. Whether that means returning to a specific person or place or finding oneself in a larger sense, the song encourages listeners to trust the signs and have faith that they will wind back in the right direction.
