Back When

ANÁLISIS | SIGNIFICADO

'Don't you remember the simpler times, when a fizz in a pepper and peanuts in a bottle at ten, two and four brought joy? A fried bologna sandwich with mayo and tomato, gathering around the table for a meal - these moments seem rare now in our complex world. Back when life was uncomplicated and the old-fashioned ways held charm.

The nostalgia in the lyrics resonates with a longing for the past, where a hoe was a hoe, Coke was just a soda, and crack was simply a punchline. Remember when a screw was a screw, the wind was the only thing blowing, and saying 'I'm down with that' meant you were under the weather? Those were the days missed dearly.

The music of black, shiny vinyl records with their clicks and pops, the favorite radio stations playing country, soul, and rock-and-roll - where did those times go? Now, trying to navigate the modern world with pop invading country music, the desire for a return to the authentic sound of the past grows stronger.

The yearning for simplicity continues with a wish for the return of the good old days, where music was meant to make the world hum along. Back when a hoe was a hoe, a coke was a simple drink, and crack was just a punchline. Longing for the days when a screw was a screw, and 'I miss back when' echoes the sentiment of wanting to rewind time and cherish the uncomplicated joys once more.'
