PRIMAL SCREAM

- Can't Go Back Lyrics

I looked into my baby's eyes
I tried so hard to find some light
When I looked there was no one there
No one there at all

I walked on down a crowded street
I hard somebody talk to me
When I turned around to speak
There was no one there at all

Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
To the place I was before

I stuck a needle in my arm
I stuck it in my baby's heart
She looked so hot and sexy
She wasn't there at all

I heard some one break in my house
They had a gun they had a knife
But it was all behind my eyes
There was no one there at all

Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
To the place I was before

My baby looked into my eyes
She tried so hard to find some light
When she looked there was no one there
No one there at all

Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
Can't go back, I can't go back
To the place I was before

The recurring expression 'Cannot go back' spotlights the powerlessness to revert to a former level of purity or bliss, thus marking the nonreturnable quality of some major life shifts and the eerie reminiscences that keep coming back. The lyrics of Can't go back primarily talk about despair, heartache, angst, thinking and being alone. The song, however, sheds light on the very aspects of loss and emptiness, addiction, and self-destruction, nostalgia, and regret as well.

It's about the modern consumer capitalist world - no-one there man, dig? (I am being slightly ironic)

I love this song, but what it mean, really? I fail to see the point if PRMLSCRM is trying to tell me that using speed sucks. I mean... come on!
