Looking Back in Anger
Reflecting on Inner Struggles: Nolia Noon's Musical Journey
Lyrics
Heard that you're a believer
Expressing awareness that the person is a believer.
But you think like a stone
Commenting on the person's rigid or unyielding mindset.
And that you were for certain
Asserting that the person was certain about their beliefs.
That everyone was wrong yeah
Stating that the person believed everyone else was wrong.
Yes and then I saw you flying
Observing the person's metaphorical flight or success.
Up in the jets in a sonic boom
Describing the person's impressive achievements.
Oh and then I saw you hiding
Noting the person's act of hiding.
You're hiding away in your cage of doom
Emphasizing the person's seclusion in a negative situation.
Oh and then I saw you running from something from something
Witnessing the person running away from something.
But now you're looking back again
Noticing the person's retrospective glance or reconsideration.
You're looking back again
Reiterating the person's act of looking back.
Heard that you were a preacher
Acknowledging the person as a preacher of moral values.
Preaching right from wrong
Highlighting the person's commitment to distinguishing right from wrong.
And that inside your temple
Referring to a place where the person's songs are celebrated.
They would play your songs yeah
Connecting the person's songs to their moral teachings.
Yes and then I saw you flying
Recalling the person's previous successes or accomplishments.
Up in the jets in a sonic boom
Reiterating the person's notable achievements.
Oh and then I saw you hiding
Observing the person's return to hiding.
Hiding away in your cage of doom
Emphasizing the negative environment the person is in.
Oh and then I saw you running from something from something
Witnessing the person fleeing from something again.
But now you're looking back again
Confirming the person's repetition of looking back.
You're looking back again
Reiterating the person's act of retrospection.
Back again yeah
Further emphasizing the act of looking back.
And so you think you're wrong
Addressing the person's self-perceived wrongness.
And yeah you think you're wrong
Repeating the idea that the person believes they are wrong.
And oh you think you're wrong
Continuing the emphasis on the person's self-doubt.
You wanted to be yeah
Expressing the person's desire or intention to be wrong.
Yes and then I saw you flying
Recalling the person's past successes or accomplishments.
Up in the jets in a sonic boom
Reiterating the person's remarkable achievements.
Yes and then I saw you hiding
Highlighting the person's return to hiding.
Hiding away in your cage of doom
Emphasizing the negative situation the person is in once again.
Oh and then I saw you running from something from something
Observing the person running away from something again.
But now you're looking back again
Confirming the person's repetition of looking back.
You're looking back again
Reiterating the person's act of retrospection.
You're looking back again
Continuing the emphasis on the act of looking back.
You're looking back again
Further highlighting the person's retrospection.
Yeah
Concluding with the affirmation of the person looking back.
