In Your Back Lyrics
Come tell me your story to unload your glorious grief
Where you are the valet of honour and I am the thief
And don't ever mention the stains that you left on my track
How from a beautiful girl I became someone ruined and wrecked
It was all in your back
All in your back
So I spin in the dance of you absence and put on a show
But why do I smile baby, you of all people should know
The one that you loved
Died a long time ago
You can't do me wrong with charity untill
You'll exhaust your lies and remedies, you will
But with your voice and melodies you kill, you kill
Your version of glory is dark and it's covered with sin
And I wanna dive in an ocean of pink tourmaline
I've seen the pure souls they exist and they fly
I tink I could live with it, I know I can now
You can't do me wrong with charity untill
You'll exhaust your lies and remedies, you will
But with your voice and melodies you kill, you kill
It's funny how now that I'm not in the palm of your hand
You're still running blindly to save me again and again
But I don't need a friend
No, I don't need a friend
You can't do me wrong with charity untill
You'll exhaust your lies and remedies, you will
But with your voice and melodies you kill, you kill
Where you are the valet of honour and I am the thief
And don't ever mention the stains that you left on my track
How from a beautiful girl I became someone ruined and wrecked
It was all in your back
All in your back
But why do I smile baby, you of all people should know
The one that you loved
Died a long time ago
You'll exhaust your lies and remedies, you will
But with your voice and melodies you kill, you kill
And I wanna dive in an ocean of pink tourmaline
I've seen the pure souls they exist and they fly
I tink I could live with it, I know I can now
You'll exhaust your lies and remedies, you will
But with your voice and melodies you kill, you kill
You're still running blindly to save me again and again
But I don't need a friend
No, I don't need a friend
You'll exhaust your lies and remedies, you will
But with your voice and melodies you kill, you kill

I think this song is about a woman who was in a relationship - possibly marriage -with a narcissistic person who basically derailed her life. The narcissist needs to feel like the good guy and so they are trying to paint themselves positive and be friends after the relationship is over. But the truth is that they fucked this woman’s “track” over and made her a shell of who she used to be. Now that she is over them, she finds it funny and pathetic that the narcissist is still trying to be a friend to her and also be like a kind of valiant savior making amends and offering “remedies”. But she knows the words are just empty “melodies” and “lies” that actually kill her spirit if she were to believe them.
Such a deep and truthful song.
I think the correct lyrics to the chorus are “And you CAN do me wrong...”
Also the verses are: “So WE spin in the dance of your absence...”
“Your version of glory is dark and it’s covered with SINS.”
At least this is what I heard...
