Backwards Lyrics by Lil Silva, Sampha

Yesterday Is Heavy

2022

[Chorus: Sampha]
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, blackhole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me

[Verse 1: Sampha]
Restricted
Restricted by your turn of phrase
Conflicted
Not by what you say, but how you say it
Oh, and I need it (I need it), no
No, I don't need that C4 (I don't need that C4)
Explosive
But still I keep comin' for more, yeah

[Chorus: Sampha]
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, blackhole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me

[Verse 2: Sampha]
Why I feel like I can't ever tell a soul?
Why I feel like I can't ever break this mould?
Why I feel like all of this is set in stone? (Set in stone)
Why I feel like it's too late to telephone?
And talk about it like wе're adults
But the child in me can't lеt it go (Let it go)
The child in me is not responsible
For all the hurt that you've ever known
That shotgun and you've let it go
Like anytime you feel vulnerable
You can't tolerate, you're uncomfortable
You can't tolerate the uncomfortable

[Chorus: Sampha]
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, blackhole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, blackhole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me

[Bridge: Sampha]
It's all me, it's all me
It's all me, woah-oh
It's all me, it's all me, it's all me

[Chorus: Sampha]
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, blackhole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
