VAN MORRISON

- Back On Top Lyrics

You came to see me when the moon was new
Saw you standin in the pouring rain
Left my message on the window pain
Back on the street again
Back on the beat again
Im back on the top again

Saw me climbing to the top of the hill
You saw me meeting with the fools on the hill
Learned my lesson and I had my fill
Learnt it all in vain
Went through it all again
Now Im back on the top again

Always strivin, always climbing way beyond my will
Same old sensation, isolation at the top of the bill
Always seeming, like Im moving but Im really going slow
What do you do when you get to the top and theres nowhere to go

Just how I get there will be anybodys guess
With all the so called trappings of success
Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill
Too busy raisin cain
Im back on the street again
Im back on the top again

Always strivin, always climbing way beyond my will
Its the same old sensation, isolation at the top of the hill
Always seeming, like Im moving but Im really going slow
Youll find out when you get to the top that theres nowhere to go

How you get there will be anybodys guess
With all the so called trappings of success
Left all the deadbeats on the top of the hill
Too busy raisin cain
Im back on the street again
Im back on the top again

Back on my feet again
Im back on the street again
Im back on the top again

What is the meaning behind Back On Top lyrics?


When we try to interpret the meaning, Van Morrison’s ‘Back On Top’ delves into the relentless chase of success and the solitude that accompanies the climb to the peak, with a hill metaphor for expressing the cyclical pattern of the struggle and the void at the apex. Mainly back on top lyrics talk about inwards-looking thoughts, inner conflict, being alone, power, and hopelessness. However, more than that, the composition demonstrates the virtues of attempting for the top, being cut off from the mainstream at the apex, the vanity of being successful and the cycle of fighting. The words express the notions of ambition, success, and solitude which can be accepted by most listeners but might need adult supervision for younger kids to grasp the context and subtleties fully.
