This poignant tune delves into the depths of heartbreak and longing. Amy Winehouse uses vivid and raw imagery to depict her struggle with a lover's departure, who chooses to return to an old flame. The phrase "back to black" symbolizes her descent back into depression and sorrow, a stark contrast with the colourful world she experienced when in love. Her repeated statement of dying 'a hundred times' amplifies the magnitude of her emotional pain. The song also subtly hints at substance abuse, suggesting that both parties use substances as coping mechanisms for their emotional turmoil. Overall, it's an emotionally charged narrative about love lost and the subsequent struggle with loneliness and despair. #Heartbreak #Loneliness #SubstanceAbuse
Back to Black
Lyrics
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love pow
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
Black
I go back to
I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black
