Back In Time

Patrick Hernandez's song 'Back In Time' delves into the complex emotions of nostalgia, love, and healing after a breakup. The lyrics reflect a longing to return to a past where love was still vibrant and promises were made. The repetition of 'Let's back in time to day yeah to day yeah yeah' emphasizes a desire to relive those moments, suggesting a deep yearning for the past. This sentiment is further highlighted by the lines 'Back in time, oh! I still hear you say I'll always love you and stay,' which capture the lingering memories of a love that once seemed eternal.

However, the song also acknowledges the inevitability of change and the pain that comes with it. The lyrics 'Anyhow I've got a feeling there, that you will disappear anyway' and 'Springs or falls that means no more to me' convey a sense of resignation and the realization that seasons change, and so do relationships. The mention of 'Turning my days and nights to grey' and 'No one's there, only a memory' paints a picture of the emotional void left behind, a common experience for anyone who has gone through a breakup.

Despite the melancholy, 'Back In Time' also carries a message of hope and resilience. The lines 'Now it's time to find another way, You know I've learned to live without you' and 'Can't you see, I'm waiting for the day When I'll definitely forget you' indicate a journey towards healing and moving on. The repeated reference to 'the book' that says 'love is there for everybody' serves as a reminder that love is a universal experience, and there is always the possibility of finding it again. This duality of longing for the past while looking forward to the future makes 'Back In Time' a poignant exploration of the human heart's capacity to endure and recover from loss.
