I've Been To Hell And Back Lyrics

Last night I dreamed of a desert
I dreamed of the white shifting sands
I dreamed of the eagle that swooped and
Snatched the snake from my hand

I was amazed of Scorpio
Two parts of me and God
Where is this?
Where am I?
Tell me please!

Tell all the boys I'm back in the city
Tell all the boys I'm back in town
I've been to hell and back
I've been to hell and back
Tell all the boys I'm back in the city
I've been to hell and back
And back, and back

I cooked twigs, fire, and water
Movement balanced in the wind
The sun god has given me a new life
Now let all the games begin!

Tell all the boys I'm back in the city
Tell all the boys I'm back in town
I've been to hell and back
I've been to hell and back
Tell all the boys I'm back in the city
I've been to hell and back
And back, and back

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Correction on my lyrics:

"Tell all the boys I'm back in the city Tell all the boys I'm back in town" not "Til all the boys are back in the city Til all the boys are back in town"
