Meaning of Feels Like We Only Go Backwards by Tame Impala

December 15, 2022

The song "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards" by Tame Impala is about the idea of trying to make progress in a relationship or life in general, but continually feeling like you take two steps forward and one step back. The speaker is questioning their relationship, expressing feelings of frustration and disappointment that their efforts aren't getting them anywhere. The chorus lyrics, "It feels like I only go backwards, baby/ Every part of me says, "Go ahead"/ I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again/ Feels like we only go backwards, darling" reflect the sentiment of the verse lyrics, which reflect the idea that no matter what they do or how hard they try, the progress they make always seems to be overshadowed by a sense of going backwards and having to start over again.
