Won't Look Back
ViViD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before the lights went out
We sat and talked about
All the things we'd be
Just needed her to be with me
All around that time
I was feeling high
A mind of my own
I didn't mind being alone
So what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
And where do you go when it's all gone
And you don't care enough to carry on
Now what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
You will live the present tense, won't look back!
We made it up not real
We tried to think not feel
When we closed our eyes
And tried to look down deep inside
Looked away not through
We used to say not do
Now I understand
I cannot see what I saw then
So what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
And where do you go when it's all gone
And you don't care enough to carry on
Now what do you say when it's all been said
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
You will live the present tense, won't look back!
I will be just fine




I will be alright
Just as soon as I let go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ViViD's song "Won't Look Back" describe a reflective and introspective process. The singer remembers a time when they were filled with excitement and anticipation, discussing all the things they wanted to accomplish with someone they cared about. At that time, the singer felt confident in their independence and didn't mind being alone, but looking back, they realize that they were living in their own headspace and not really connecting with others or with their emotions.


The chorus of the song asks a series of questions about what to do when everything has been said and felt, when you feel like giving up and not carrying on. However, the response is to live in the present moment, to stay grounded in the "present tense" and not get caught up in past regrets or future worries. The final lines of the song express a sense of release, a willingness to let go of the past and move on, confident that everything will be okay.


Overall, "Won't Look Back" is a song about growing and changing, about recognizing the limitations of one's own perspective and taking steps to connect with others and the world around us. It encourages listeners to embrace the present moment and let go of the past, to keep moving forward with hope and optimism.


Line by Line Meaning

Before the lights went out
Before everything came crashing down


We sat and talked about
We reminisced about our dreams


All the things we'd be
All the things we envisioned for our future


Just needed her to be with me
I just needed her by my side to make it all happen


All around that time
During that period of my life


I was feeling high
I was feeling confident and on top of the world


A mind of my own
I had my own thoughts and ideas


I didn't mind being alone
I was okay with being on my own and didn't feel a need for anyone else


So what do you say when it's all been said
What do you say when everything's been discussed and there's nothing more to add


And how do you feel when it's all been felt
How do you feel when you've experienced everything you can


And where do you go when it's all gone
Where do you turn when everything's fallen apart


And you don't care enough to carry on
When you're so overwhelmed that you don't even care anymore


Now what do you say when it's all been said
What do you say when everything's been discussed and there's nothing more to add, now


And how do you feel when it's all been felt
How do you feel when you've experienced everything you can, now


You will live the present tense, won't look back!
Live for the moment and don't dwell on the past


We made it up not real
We pretended things were okay, but they weren't really


We tried to think not feel
We tried to rationalize rather than embrace our emotions


When we closed our eyes
When we ignored the reality of our situation


And tried to look down deep inside
When we tried to search for answers within ourselves


Looked away not through
We avoided confronting our problems head on


We used to say not do
We talked about our ambitions without taking action


Now I understand
Now I know better


I cannot see what I saw then
I no longer see things the same way I did in the past


I will be just fine
I will be okay


I will be alright
I will be okay


Just as soon as I let go
Once I can finally let go of the past
