Back In The Box Lyrics


Let me in
Don't stop can't stop
Oh and it's big time
Walk on the wind
Breaking me out
From the inside and the outside
A shock front
Rocked you and rocked you
Double quicklime
Hold the whirlwind
Hanging me up
Like the first time and the last time

Hang on, hang on
The universe explodes
Hang on, hang on
Confusion controls

What's happening
It's shooting me up
Into the big sky
Just everything
Is breaking us out
From the inside
And the outside
Thoughts blown
Rocked and blocked me
Oh, I'm mystified
Chase the whirlwind
Waking us up
For the first time and the last time

Come on, come on
The universe exposed
Come on. come on
Confusion controls

Day by day by day
By North or South
You can't go home
Confusion controls
Hang on, hang on
The universe explodes

Back In The Box Song Chart
  • This is the opening track on Johnny Marr's Playland album. "When I wrote the first song, 'Back In The Box', I knew it would be the opener," Marr told NME, because it's just a celebration of euphoria and ecstasy."
  • Marr described this to Q magazine as, "a good old-fashioned love song."
  • Johnny Marr expanded on the song's meaning to DIY magazine: "I'm singing about transcendence and euphoria and ecstatic states, either hearing a record you like, waking up on a sunny morning, being in love," he said. "Or schizophrenia, drugs, all these things that can make you have a euphoric experience."
