Back Around
Echoes of Redemption: Embracing Consequences in 'Back Around'
Lyrics
You say you will, but you never do
You make promises but consistently fail to keep them.
Kind of gettin' tired of lookin' through you
Growing weary of trying to understand or connect with you.
Got a lot on your mind, but not as much as I had on mine
You have concerns, but they don't compare to the burdens I carried.
When you got everything
Despite having everything, there's a lack of awareness of the pain of loss.
You don't know what it's like to lose
Not experiencing the emotional impact of losing something valuable.
But everything is nothing when your neck's inside the noose
Material wealth means nothing when facing a serious threat or danger.
When it chokes you out and it fades to black
Struggling with a suffocating situation that leads to darkness.
Leaves you wishing you could take it all back
Regretting decisions and desiring to undo the consequences.
It don't matter if it's wrong or right, it don't matter if you sleep at night
Moral judgment is irrelevant; guilt and consequences persist.
It don't matter how much you pray,'cause you'll get yours come Judgement Day
Prayers won't save you from the consequences on Judgment Day.
(chorus)
< i > (chorus)
'cause Everything comes back around
Consequences revisit everyone, regardless of efforts to avoid them.
No matter how much you cover your ground
Acknowledging that avoiding repercussions is futile.
You spend your whole life running from your sins
Lifelong avoidance of facing one's misdeeds.
Runnin' a race you ain't never gonna win
Persisting in a futile race against inevitable consequences.
Gonna catch up to you in the end
Consequences will catch up to you eventually.
Got holes in your story, got a monkey on your back
Your narrative has inconsistencies and burdensome habits.
One foot in the grave and you're caught in a trap
Facing imminent danger with no clear way out.
With a fallin' down curtain that you can't stop
Unable to prevent the unfolding of a detrimental situation.
An iron in the fire that you didn't mean to drop
Unexpected consequences of actions you didn't intend.
When you live in a house that's made of glass
Living vulnerably, any attack on others will harm yourself.
Don't throw stones cause your walls will fall fast
Caution against criticism as it may lead to your own downfall.
As those walls come crashing down
Witnessing the collapse of your defenses and stability.
Look at the pieces scattered all around
Observing the aftermath of your mistakes scattered around you.
Pick up the ones that you can find
Attempting to salvage what's left after a personal disaster.
Try to put them all together but you're runnin' out of time
Struggling to fix the damage but running out of time.
(chorus)
< i > (chorus)
Broke down and you're all alone
Being emotionally broken and isolated.
A blade of guilt cuts you to the bone
Feeling the sharp pain of guilt penetrating deeply.
Think by now you'd have turn and run
Despite realizing the error, you can't escape the consequences.
But you can't cross a bridge you've burned
Once you've burned bridges, there's no returning.
(chorus)
< i > (chorus)
You know that you can't run forever my friend
Understanding that avoidance is temporary, consequences will catch up.
