Back to Life Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(I can't) Recognize me anymore
(This is all too hard to say)
(I am) I'm becoming sick and sore
(Why do I push you away?)
Just like I did before
Keep falling down when I try to soar
It's like I like the pain
I don't wanna feel this way
[Pre-Chorus]
What's happening to me?
[Chorus]
I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Help, my body's getting cold
So far away from home
But you feel like heaven
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
[Verse 2]
(You can) You can make me real again
(Just a plastic mannequin)
(I am) I am nothing but pretend
(But you know what I am)
Watch out 'cause this may sting (May sting)
Keep making promises I can't keep (Can't keep)
Help me to break these chains (These chains)
I don't wanna feel this way
(I can't) Recognize me anymore
(This is all too hard to say)
(I am) I'm becoming sick and sore
(Why do I push you away?)
Just like I did before
Keep falling down when I try to soar
It's like I like the pain
I don't wanna feel this way
[Pre-Chorus]
What's happening to me?
[Chorus]
I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Help, my body's getting cold
So far away from home
But you feel like heaven
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
[Verse 2]
(You can) You can make me real again
(Just a plastic mannequin)
(I am) I am nothing but pretend
(But you know what I am)
Watch out 'cause this may sting (May sting)
Keep making promises I can't keep (Can't keep)
Help me to break these chains (These chains)
I don't wanna feel this way
[Pre-Chorus]
What's happening to me?
[Chorus]
I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Help, my body's getting cold
So far away from home
But you feel like heaven
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I'm digging in the dirt
This is hell on Earth
Can you heal the places that I hurt?
Can't open up my eyes
All I see is black
Bring me back to life
[Pre-Chorus]
What's happening to me?
What's happening to me?
[Chorus]
I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Help, my body's getting cold
So far away from home
But you feel like heaven
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

[Bridge]

What's happening to me?
[Chorus]
I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Help, my body's getting cold
So far away from home
But you feel like heaven
Bring me back to life
I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Help, my body's getting cold
So far away from home
But you feel like heaven
Bring me back to life
I, I'm slowly getting numb
I hate what I've become
Am I lost forever?
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

What did Skillet say about "Back to Life"?
Verified Commentary
SkilletGenius Answer
Thought it’d be cool to end the record with a barn burner. One of the heaviest songs on the album. It’s tuning is way dropped down and guitars are thick as molasses-just the way God intended them to be. It’s about walking through life feeling like you’re numb. Wanting to be alive and feel something worth living for. It’s got a spiritual inclination to it. Wanting to be reborn and remade into something wonderful. Then we end the album with an all-out prog-Metal jam. Feels like you just got finished with a 5 course meal and topped it off with second helping of dessert.
