Бэкграунд

Песня 'Backslide' от Twenty One Pilots погружает в темы личной борьбы, сопротивления регрессу и стремлению к искуплению среди бурных волн жизни. Текст рисует яркую картину, как кто-то борется с его прошлыми привычками и страхом возвращения к прежнему, менее желательному состоянию бытия. The recurring line, 'I don't wanna backslide to where I started from,' serves as a powerful refrain, emphasizing the artist's determination to avoid falling back into old patterns that they have worked hard to overcome.

The imagery of being overwhelmed, as described in lines like 'water's over my head' and 'drownin' in logistics,' metaphorically represents the overwhelming challenges and complexities the narrator faces. This struggle is further highlighted by the plea for help, 'If you could throw me a line,' suggesting a desperate need for support in times of difficulty. The song also touches on themes of missed opportunities and regrets, particularly in the relationship context, as seen in the line 'I should have loved you better.' This adds a layer of emotional depth, portraying not just a battle with personal demons but also the impact on personal relationships.

Musically, Twenty One Pilots is known for their eclectic style, blending elements of rock, pop, and indie music, which complements the introspective and often existential themes of their lyrics. 'Backslide' is a testament to their ability to weave complex emotional narratives into their music, making it relatable and resonant for a wide audience. The song not only explores the internal conflicts one faces but also the universal desire for growth and the fear of regression that many can relate to.

[Интро] (I don't wanna) [Куплет 1] Rat race, place to place, adding weight Tendencies on repeat, innit? Benefit from a shoe with no lace Take the seat with the crease in it I don't mind if it's lonely I don't mind if it's fair I don't care, you control me Leading me anywhere [Припев] I don't wanna backslide to where I've started from There's no chance I will shake this again 'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head Strength enough for onе more time Reach my hand abovе the tide I'll take anything you have If you could throw me a line I should've loved you better Do you think that now's the time You should let go? It's over my head [Куплет 2] Bad place, on a hundred-dollar bass Kinda wishin' that I never did "Saturday" "Is that a stain? You should change Are you doin' good? Did you solve all of your problems?" Thanks for asking, in a way, but Accidentally uncovered a new one yesterday What happened to what I brushed under the rug? I used to be the champion of a world you can't see Now I'm drowning in logistics [Припев] I don't wanna backslide to where I've started from There's no chance I will shake this again 'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head Strength enough for one more time Reach my hand above the tide I'll take anything you have If you could throw me a line I should've loved you better Do you think that now's the time You should let go? [Бридж] I don't mind if it's lonely (It's over my head) I don't mind if it's fair (You should let go) I don't care, you control me (It's over my head) Leading me anywhere [Припев] I'll take anything you have If you could throw me a line I should've loved you better Do you think that now's the time You should let go? (I don't mind if it's lonely) It's over my head (I don't mind if it's fair) You should let go It's over my head [Аутро] I don't wanna backslide
