Backwards Lyrics by Rum Jungle

Recency Bias

2025

[Verse 1]
Signed and sealed
A reckless way to voice your throughts
The wreckage has found it's way to shore
And you’re just the one
To tie the rope to the sea floor
When the anchor's gone and been ignored
As she ponders something else
For no one's benefit
The possessions of hers are counterfeit

[Chorus]
But before too long
When you think you know someone, you’ll be treading on the shadows
I never meant to have said it all
My words were all backwards
What kind of person do you take me for?
Then again it doesn't matter
Was still nice to have my head screwed on
You can have me
But how does this go on now?
Let it parade away

[Verse 2]
My words were all backwards, ceaselessly
She finds herself where she wants to be
Takes the conundrums on the chin of someone else
If they offer themselves up willingly, it's a symptom of insensibility

[Chorus]
But before too long
When you think you know someone, you'll be treading on the shadows
I never meant to have said it all
My words were all backward
What kind of person do you take me for?
Then again it doesn't matter
Was still nice to have my head screwed on
You can have me
But how does this go on now?
Let it parade away
My words were all backward

I never meant to say it all
I never meant to say
My words were all backwards
Before you know it's now the time
To be done with it all
The pictures drawn
And I would like to hang it up on your wall
I'd love to say goodbye
I'd love to say goodbye
