Back to Earth
Journey of Self-Discovery: Noah Floersch's 'Back to Earth'
Lyrics
This past month I've been a thousand feet above everyone else
Reflecting on a period where the speaker felt distant or elevated above others.
Looking down upon my friends and family and at myself
Observing and evaluating relationships with friends, family, and self from a detached perspective.
And Nobody saw me up there so nobody called me back
Feeling unnoticed or ignored during this elevated phase.
And I stayed up there forever till the sun burned through my back
Choosing to remain in this state despite the discomfort until confronted by the harsh reality (sun burning through the back).
And I cast a shadow on you and you look up to the sky
Imposing a presence on someone, perhaps unintentionally, and affecting their perspective.
And you see me burning up there with a hand over your eye
Others witnessing the speaker's struggles and pain.
And you throw a rope up to me and I'm barely holding on
Receiving help or support from someone.
So you tie the other end around your waist and I am drawn
The helper becoming affected or involved in the speaker's challenges.
Back to earth
Expressing the return to reality or normalcy.
Back to her
Specifically returning to a significant person.
Lost and found
Highlighting the theme of being lost and then found.
Finally back on the ground
Celebrating the return to a stable and familiar state.
Back to earth
Reiteration of the return to reality, perhaps emphasizing the emotional connection with a person.
Back to her
Returning to a specific person who is significant.
Lost and found
Reiteration of the lost and found theme.
Finally back on the ground
Expressing relief at being back in a stable state.
I could go anywhere with you, and be totally myself
Expressing comfort and authenticity in a specific relationship.
So when everything is changing you stay there like no one else
Appreciation for someone who remains constant in a changing environment.
And that means the world to me in a world where everything Is moving quickly
Highlighting the significance of stability in a fast-paced world.
From some impossible A to some inescapable B
Describing the challenges of navigating from one difficult situation to another.
She brings me
Introduction of a female figure who has a grounding influence on the speaker.
