KICK BACK (English Cover)

Will Stetson's English cover of "KICK BACK" is a whirlwind of emotions and vivid imagery, capturing the essence of a tumultuous journey towards a better life. The repeated phrase, "A heart, embark, a beautiful star," serves as a mantra, symbolizing the relentless pursuit of one's dreams and aspirations despite the chaos and challenges that life presents. This refrain underscores the song's central theme of striving for something greater, a beautiful star, amidst the noise and confusion of everyday existence.

The lyrics paint a picture of a life filled with struggle and inner turmoil. The lines, "No clothes to fold up away is a lucky day / Get scrubbing, blast all the stains, blood and grease, I will wave bye-bye," suggest a desire to cleanse oneself of past burdens and start anew. The voices in the protagonist's head, described as "clawing at the back of my brain," represent the internal conflicts and pressures that one faces while trying to navigate through life's complexities. The yearning for a better life is palpable, as the protagonist dreams of comfort and freedom from societal rules, willing to burn the world and its lies to achieve their desires.

The song also delves into the duality of pleasure and pain, love and hate. The chorus, "So bury me in pleasure / Rest in peace, we fall together," juxtaposes the idea of finding solace in pleasure while simultaneously acknowledging the inevitable fall that comes with it. The protagonist's declaration of love, "I love you, so whatever / Hate me, take all that I treasure, my honey," highlights the complex emotions involved in relationships, where love and hate often coexist. The repeated imagery of a "beautiful star" serves as a beacon of hope and aspiration, guiding the protagonist through the chaos and towards their ultimate goal.
