Can’t Back Down Lyrics by Mads Veslelia

The Dark Light

2011

[Chorus: Anna]
Keep on going, you just gotta fight it
Keep on going, cuz it's not too late
You can't back down
You can't back down
Keep on going, you just gotta fight it
Keep on going, cuz it's never too late
You can't back down
You can't back down
[Verse 1: Mads]
Look at me
You wanna back down?
I ain't gon' let you
This is not how we're going down
We ain't gon' ride through the storm
But with the storm
If someone stands in our way
Let a tornado blow 'em
Cause I ain't showing remorse for anyone
Not even myself, so it's all said and done
But I
Gotta keep it up, love comes in many forms
Forget the ones that support us
Ain't no waitin' for 'em
And they drown, we gon' flow with hope
First shoulders slope
But with our minds straight
We gon' be ok
So, say my name like we're soulmates
And I say yours, we both want no pain
Wanna argue 'bout restaurant, a take away
Not the subject, leave or stay?
I relate
My trusting is from now 'til forever
I promise myself to not back down
So you better
[Chorus: Anna]
Keep on going, you just gotta fight it
Keep on going, cuz it's not too late
You can't back down
You can't back down
Keep on going, you just gotta fight it
Keep on going, cuz it's never too late
You can't back down
You can't back down
[Verse 2: Mads]
I looked in the mirror
Filled with self-pity and greed
So tired of being tired, tired to breathe
Tired of not feeling desire
And so tired of need
Something to keep me going
To keep and proceed
They say eyes is like the key
Like the window
Like the intro. into your soul
But I look so cold
They all told me to take it easy
But they don't know nothin', I show nothin'
But a fake smile, don't need your crazy
I can't get fixed up with your meditation easy
Please believe me
So skip the talk, I'm a lonely hawk
See no palm trees, just know
I'm cold, until the last minute, then I lose control
A machine 'til the end and when I'm done, you know
There was something wrong with the technical
I can't keep holding on when you wanna let go
But 'til it's over, all I wanna do is keep this bold flow
[Chorus: Anna]
Keep on going, you just gotta fight it
Keep on going, cuz it's not too late
You can't back down
You can't back down
Keep on going, you just gotta fight it
Keep on going, cuz it's never too late
You can't back down
You can't back down
[Verse 3: Mads]
This goes out to everyone who feel like they're the only-
One that keep on holdin' on, the ones that fallin' slowly
They lose their grip, they hands just slip
Just wanna another chance to flip
The situation, but they face the shit
Don't know what to end it with
They don't wanna put they lifes on the line
But it's already there, so how the fuck can you recline?
They tell you to keep the balance, and all that
But they won't catch you-
If you fall flat
Cause they're all that ego
But even when they're evil
We still love them 'til we D-I-E
Yo, we're retrieval, tell ourselves it's the last time
Inside, we know it's not so
We delete memories, at least, we think
In the hope of change, but we can't delete a thing
The same mistake, game over, replay
No matter what they say
I still say!
[Chorus: Anna]
Keep on going, you just gotta fight it
Keep on going, cuz it's not too late
You can't back down
You can't back down
Keep on going, you just gotta fight it
Keep on going, cuz it's never too late
You can't back down
You can't back down
