Baroness – Back Where I Belong Lyrics 6 years ago
The first few times I didn't listen properly and stook with the feeling that the song gave me, with the few sentences I understood and their emphasis. I thought "now I"m back where I belong" sounded ironically. Like the person thinks: "There are no good things for me in this world, so this is what I will get. I don't deserve any more." I also thought the person adresses someone, who they had a relationship of any kind with - a toxic person or someone they wanted to leave behind - but this is where they belong and they will never get out of the situation. They'll have to accept it. Fucking scary and hopeless if you ask me. The part that makes me shiver.

But now that I've listened to the song more properly, I think it is about a drug addiction they left behind and now come back to. Seeing no possibillity to ever get out forever.
