Rewind
Echoes of Heartache: Soundhaven's Timeless Tale in 'Rewind'
Lyrics
I don't know why
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about a situation.
You're calling me
Questioning the reason for someone's communication.
You say the kinda things that keep me on ice
Noting that the person's words have a certain impact or influence.
Don't even try
Advising against attempting to deceive or delay.
To stall on me
Discouraging attempts to stall or procrastinate.
When I know you're not at home
Implying awareness of the other person's whereabouts.
So you just can't be alone tonight
Suggesting a reluctance to be alone tonight.
And baby I don't need nothing
Asserting independence and self-sufficiency.
I know we tried a million times
Reflecting on past attempts at resolving issues in the relationship.
I just can't find that something
Expressing difficulty in finding a solution or resolution.
But maybe you and I
Suggesting the possibility of revisiting the past.
Can rewind
Proposing the idea of going back in time.
I can't get over you
Expressing lingering feelings or attachment.
And honestly I dont think you want me to
Speculating that the other person may not want to move on.
I can't get over you
Reiterating the difficulty in overcoming emotions.
Just promise me you won't let somebody get closer
Requesting a commitment to avoid getting emotionally closer to others.
Until they can show you devotion, yeah
Emphasizing the need for proof of commitment.
Rewind
Repeating the desire to go back in time.
Rewind
Reiterating the desire to rewind.
I ain't surprised
Expressing lack of surprise at forgetfulness.
Your memory
Referring to the selective memory about positive aspects of the relationship.
Forgets the kind of things that you know we got right
Noting the hypnotic effect of selective memory.
So hypnotized
Highlighting the challenge of seeing clearly due to illusions.
It's hard to see
Pointing out the difficulty in distinguishing reality from illusion.
The illusions in my head, got me right back in your bed tonight
Acknowledging the impact of illusions on returning to the relationship.
And baby I don't need nothing
Reasserting independence and self-sufficiency.
I know we tried a million times
Reflecting on persistent efforts to overcome challenges.
I just can't find that something
Expressing ongoing difficulty in finding resolution.
But maybe you and I
Revisiting the possibility of going back in time.
Can rewind
Reiterating the idea of rewinding.
I can't get over you
Expressing emotional difficulty in moving on.
And honestly I dont think you want me to
Suspecting the other person's reluctance to let go.
I can't get over you
Reiterating the emotional challenge of moving on.
Just promise me you won't let somebody get closer
Seeking a commitment to avoid emotional closeness with others.
Until they can show you devotion, yeah
Reiterating the importance of demonstrating devotion.
Rewind
Repeating the desire to go back in time.
Rewind
Reiterating the desire to rewind.
I can't get over you
Expressing persistent difficulty in moving on emotionally.
And honestly I dont think you want me to
Suspecting the other person's reluctance to let go.
I can't get over you
Reiterating the emotional challenge of moving on.
Just promise me you won't let somebody get closer
Seeking a commitment to avoid emotional closeness with others.
Until they can show you devotion, yeah
Reiterating the importance of demonstrating devotion.
Rewind
Repeating the desire to go back in time.
Rewind
Reiterating the desire to rewind.
Rewind
