Back Where We Belong

Austin Belle's song 'Back Where We Belong' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of a broken relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of loneliness and longing, as the protagonist grapples with the absence of a loved one. The opening lines, 'There's loneliness in these footsteps / When it's only my feet walking on the floor,' immediately set a somber tone, highlighting the isolation felt when a significant other is no longer present. The recurring imagery of an empty home and the metaphor of a '4 Sale sign' on the front lawn further emphasize the sense of abandonment and the drastic changes in the protagonist's life.

The song also explores the theme of time and its impact on healing. Despite the common advice that 'it just takes time,' the protagonist struggles with the slow and painful process of moving on. The line 'Ya Can't put sand back in the hour glass' poignantly captures the irreversible nature of time and the difficulty of letting go of the past. The repeated refrain of 'I'm falling apart / Barely breathin'' underscores the depth of the emotional pain and the feeling of being stuck in a state of perpetual heartache.

Additionally, 'Back Where We Belong' touches on the confusion and frustration that often accompany the end of a relationship. The questions 'When did kisses turn to anger / When did we go right to wrong' reflect the protagonist's struggle to understand how a once-loving relationship deteriorated into estrangement. This sense of bewilderment and the desire to return to a happier time are central to the song's emotional core. Austin Belle's heartfelt delivery and poignant lyrics make 'Back Where We Belong' a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the longing for reconciliation.
