“Rewind” by UK Grime artist Devlin featuring Diane Birch.
Rewind is a pre released song off of Devlin’s Second studio album “A Moving Picture” which was released in February 2013.
Rewind is a compelling song that tells the emotional pain of Devlin’s life.
[Verse 1: Devlin]
When the sky breaks it rains
So just let the H2O splash upon the graves
Of all the souls I used to know but now have passed away
Men say that time can heal a situation
But this pain is not a passing phase
Now I'm curious how many years
A heart can ache
Feel like a Minotaur meandering
This darkened place
Trying to find a way to maybe find
The light of day
If I could rewind then I'd re-live
My life again
And sit and hold my nan's hands
While she felt the pain
And say hello to old mates behind
The pearly gates
Given the chance to glance back
At my childish face
I'd try and smile the way I smiled
Just like a child again
Before I had to say goodbye to anybody
And the loved ones I've lost
All had life within their bodies
My side was less lonely then
You wanna cry well come and
Hold me then
I think I need the blessing
Of some holy man
[Hook: Diane Birch]
Cause everything is different now
I'd really like to tell you how
How I wanted you here by my side
I know what I said but I lied
It looked like I laughed but I cried
But I wish I could push rewind
[Verse 2: Devlin]
If I had minutes on my hand just like a time piece
I'd turn the clocks back and
Maybe try to find peace
As well as my ID, so rewind me
Just like a video cassette
Cause I'm upset that I ain't seen
Some faces in a while
Just apparitions in my dream
That ends abruptly when they
Try to hug me through the screen
Of smoke that's engulfing me
Like the coastline with its high tide
And you can see the sands and the
Oceans meet
No one told me when this ride began
To hold my seat
Time flies like Emmet Brown was
In the driver's seat
You talk of irony
Well now I'm lonely
But I'm searching for my privacy
This life won't comply with me
I think I need some dead
Relatives either side of me
To keep me company and guide
Me through the library
Of neverending stories full of lies and deceit
Hi Ho Silver, Lone Ranger
Riding to the beat
[Hook: Diane Birch]
Cause everything is different now
I'd really like to tell you how
How I wanted you here by my side
I know what I said but I lied
It looked like I laughed but I cried
But I wish I could push rewind
[Bridge: Devlin]
If I could rewind time to its slowest
I'd look at life at its heights and its lowest
So I could maybe try to recollect
What made me who I am besides a poet
Besides a poet
[Outro: Diane Birch]
How I wanted you here by my side
I know what I said but I lied
It looked like I laughed but I cried
But I wish I could push rewind
