I'm Back
Resilience Rediscovered: The Journey of 'I'm Back'
Lyrics
I was living in a landmine
I was in a dangerous and explosive situation.
Waiting for the click
Anticipating a significant event or change.
Sinking down the fault lines
Descending along the fractures or weaknesses.
On a one-way head trip
Engaging in a one-directional, self-destructive journey.
I went to sleep like a baby
I slept peacefully.
But I woke an old man
Upon waking up, I felt aged or burdened.
A voice told me to get back
A mysterious voice instructed me to return to my origins.
To where it all began
Revisit the starting point of everything.
And now I'm back
Expressing the return or comeback.
I'm back
-I'm back
-I was dragging my heels through the wilderness
Struggling through a challenging and uncertain situation.
Dragging my heart through the mud
Enduring emotional hardship and difficulty.
Being dragged to the brink of despair
Being pushed to the edge of hopelessness.
I coulda sworn it was love
Mistaking a difficult experience for love.
Now they said it in the bible
Referring to a biblical saying about resistance to change.
Can't teach an old dog new tricks
Suggesting resistance to learning new things.
'Cause I'm a hound on a high-wire
Comparing oneself to a daring performer on a tightrope.
And I ain't gonna slip
Asserting resilience and determination not to fail.
Yeah I'm back
Reiterating the return with emphasis.
I'm back
-I'm back
-Felt I was lifting from the ground
Feeling a sense of upliftment or liberation.
But now I'm back
Repeating the declaration of returning.
I'm back
-Come all you doubters, you movers and shakers
Inviting various groups, including doubters and adversaries.
Come all you takers, you blood money makers
-Come all you haters, who held yourselves greater
-All you cocaine Christians, you silver tongued traitors
-I'm back
Declaring the return confidently.
