Back After The Break

Beady Eye's 'Back After The Break' delves into the complexities of life, love, and self-discovery. The song opens with a reflection on the artist's perspective on love and the struggles that come with it. The lyrics 'Here come my world view on love / Here come my push come to shove' suggest a confrontation with the harsh realities of relationships and the effort required to maintain them. The line 'This life, don't know why we try' encapsulates a sense of existential questioning, a theme that resonates throughout the song.

The imagery of a 'wish coloured Sun' beaming with a smile introduces a longing for happiness and fulfillment. This metaphorical sun represents an ideal state of being that seems elusive. The repeated questioning of 'In this scene do I fall right here?' reflects the artist's uncertainty about their place in the world and their role in the grand narrative of life. The choice between falling and walking tall symbolizes the internal struggle between succumbing to life's challenges and rising above them with resilience.

The song also touches on themes of support and companionship. The lines 'Where you headed now - to where your head is at? / If you get there darlin' I'll leave it all at that / But till you do, I'm there for you' highlight the importance of being there for loved ones during their journey of self-discovery. The repetition of 'walk tall' serves as a mantra for perseverance and strength. The closing lines 'That's all' suggest a sense of acceptance and closure, as if the artist has come to terms with the uncertainties and complexities of life.
