(Ayeee)
(Chea!, chea!)
I gave you my heart, can I get it back? (Please)
She threw it in the trash just to make me mad (Dirty bitch)
Oh, would you look at that now she running back (Ooh)
Laying in my bed still no strings attached (C'mon)
I gave you my heart, can I get it back? (Can I?)
She threw it in the trash just to make me mad (Stupid bitch)
Oh, would you look at that now she running back (I knew you would)
Laying in my bed still no strings attached (Ha)
My phone be on DND
Please do not interrupt me (Nah)
While I beat her doonies down
That's just common courtesy
Don't try to embarrass me (Chea!)
I want you to cherish me
Won't escape my memory
Promise you'll remember me, look
It's a lot of sh*t that we done did you can't forget (Uh,uh)
Said you had my back, you broke my heart and then you left
Got the bottle in a headlock, I'm sitting on my steps
And I hear the birds chirping while I'm clutching on this tech
Had to sit and recollect
All these thoughts that's in my head
Had to think in retrospect
Can't live a life full of regret
I see monsters at my fence
Imma have to take a chance
High risk, high reward I ain't looking at my past (Chea!)
I gave you my heart, can I get it back? (Can I?)
She threw it in the trash just to make me mad (Stupid)
Oh, would you look at that now she running back (I knew you would)
Laying in my bed still no strings attached (Ha)
I gave you my heart, can I get it back? (Can I?)
She threw it in the trash just to make me mad (Why?)
Oh, would you look at that now she running back (Stupid)
Laying in my bed still no strings attached (I knew you would)
In the song "Back One" by Mu Mu, the artist reflects on a tumultuous relationship where he feels betrayed and hurt by someone he once gave his heart to. The lyrics express a sense of frustration and disbelief as the person he cared for seemingly discarded his heart without a second thought, causing anger and resentment. Despite this mistreatment, the person returns, seeking reconciliation or attempting to rekindle what was lost, which the artist cynically observes without re-establishing any commitment.
The artist delves into the complexity of emotions surrounding the aftermath of a broken relationship. He juxtaposes the betrayal he experienced with the lack of emotional attachment in their current interactions, emphasizing the transient nature of their connection. The use of derogatory terms and aggressive language in the lyrics reflects the raw emotions and hurt the artist is experiencing, adding a layer of intensity to the narrative.
Amidst the turmoil, there is a sense of self-preservation and a need for boundaries. The artist sets boundaries with the mention of his phone being on "DND," indicating a desire for space and independence. He also asserts his worth and demands respect, highlighting the importance of being cherished and remembered for who he is. The refrain of wanting his heart back signifies a desire to regain control and closure from the painful experience.
As the song progresses, there is a contemplative tone as the artist reflects on the past and the actions that led to the current situation. The mention of sitting on the steps with a bottle in a headlock evokes a sense of isolation and introspection as he grapples with his emotions. The imagery of monsters at the fence and taking a chance conveys a sense of bravery and resilience in the face of adversity, suggesting a willingness to confront his fears and move forward without dwelling on past regrets. Overall, "Back One" delves into the complexities of love, betrayal, and self-discovery, offering a poignant reflection on navigating the aftermath of a broken relationship.
I gave you my heart, can I get it back?
I trusted you with my love, can I have it back?
She threw it in the trash just to make me mad
She disregarded my feelings and hurt me intentionally
Oh, would you look at that now she running back
Now she wants to come back after causing pain
Laying in my bed still no strings attached
Being intimate without emotional attachment
My phone be on DND
I have my phone on 'Do Not Disturb'
Please do not interrupt me
I don't want to be disturbed right now
While I beat her doonies down
While I handle business and take care of things
That's just common courtesy
It's just a matter of respect
Don't try to embarrass me
Don't try to shame or humiliate me
I want you to cherish me
I want you to value and appreciate me
Won't escape my memory
I won't forget what happened
Promise you'll remember me, look
I want you to remember me, listen
It's a lot of sh*t that we done did you can't forget
There are a lot of things we've been through that you shouldn't forget
Said you had my back, you broke my heart and then you left
You promised to support me, but you hurt me and abandoned me
Got the bottle in a headlock, I'm sitting on my steps
Feeling trapped and overwhelmed, sitting outside with a bottle in my hand
And I hear the birds chirping while I'm clutching on this tech
Despite the beautiful sounds of nature, I'm holding onto a weapon
Had to sit and recollect
Had to sit and reflect on everything
All these thoughts that's in my head
All these thoughts swirling in my mind
Had to think in retrospect
Had to think back on past events
Can't live a life full of regret
I can't live with regrets and what-ifs
I see monsters at my fence
I see threats and challenges surrounding me
Imma have to take a chance
I'll have to take a risk
High risk, high reward I ain't looking at my past
Taking risks for potential rewards without dwelling on the past
