I'm Back
Resilience Unleashed: A Dance of Redemption in Cruiserweight's 'I'm Back'
Lyrics
I could make a list of all the cynical ideas I have now
I have cynical ideas, and I could list them.
They're all attributed to you
These ideas are associated with you.
Like "love is just another form of cancer"
One cynical idea is that "love is just another form of cancer."
But contrary to what you might think
Contrary to expectations, the list of cynical ideas is easily discarded.
The list flushes down the drain so easily
The list can be easily dismissed or forgotten.
1, 2, 3, 4
Counting, possibly emphasizing the ease of letting go.
Whoa, watch me now
An exclamation before a dance or performance.
I could do my dance anyhow
Expressing the ability to dance in any way.
But I wanted you to see it
Desire for someone to witness the dance.
And anyone can see
Anyone can foresee the outcome of this story.
What the outcome of this story won't be
Anticipation of a predictable outcome.
'Cause baby, I'm back
Declaration of a return or comeback.
Up in the distance there's a fuzzy figure that might remind you
A distant figure that might remind you of something.
Turn away, turn away, turn away, it's too late
Advising to turn away because it's too late.
Because the one laughing the hardest won't escape your brain
The one laughing the hardest will linger in your thoughts.
Like a dynamite boy song, ringing true
Reference to a song by Dynamite Boy that resonates.
It will grab on tighter every single day
The resonating idea becomes more gripping over time.
Whoa, watch me now
Reiteration of the ability to dance in any way.
I could do my dance anyhow
Desire for someone to witness the dance again.
But I wanted you to see it
Encouraging someone to keep observing.
So keep on sitting on your hands
Suggesting that someone is inactive or passive.
But I'm right outside your window now
Despite inactivity, the speaker is present outside the person's window.
'Cause baby, I'm back and you can raise the roof on that
Reaffirmation of the comeback, inviting celebration.
Round and round we go but you'll see
We go in circles, but perceptions will change.
Now who's laughing, now who's laughing
Shift in perception - questioning who is laughing now.
Round and round we go but you'll see
Continued cycles, repeating the shift in perception.
Now who's laughing, now who's laughing now
Reiteration of questioning who is laughing now.
Please keep all hands and feet inside the car
Standard safety announcement, possibly as a metaphor for unpredictability.
'Cause here we go
Introduction to a new phase or situation.
Round and round we go, round and round we go
Repetition of the circular nature of events.
Whoa, watch me now
Reiteration of the ability to dance in any way.
I could do my dance anyhow
Desire for someone to witness the dance again.
But I wanted you to see it
Encouraging continued observation of the dance.
And your vacant stares
Expression of indifference to unresponsive stares.
Only drive me further from my weak place
Unresponsive stares push the speaker away from vulnerability.
'Cause baby, I'm back and you can raise the roof on that
Final affirmation of the comeback, urging celebration.
