Magie Lena “Revisiting” Official Lyrics and Meaning | Genius Verified“Hi to you on the other side of the screen, I’m Magie Lena and this is the Genius Verified of my new single “Revisiting” “I started out making new single back in 2018. I was feeling overwhelmed due to the situations that I was facing back at that time and the only way I found to liberate those energies out of my body was to make new music. It wasn’t until 2019 though, where I was back at the US, that I truly started to produce the new record. So, this new single is from those first attempts of a comeback I did in 2018, but it only ended up coming altogether this year.”Quote:First Verse
Long ago A perfect life was planned to be the perfect dream But as we walked on thin ice our intentions were fading So much thinking made we waste too much energy I was afraid of admitting that we’d failed Instead, I stood the lies that you’d veiled Drowning deep in an ocean I couldn’t sail “I had this relationship with a man ever since I was 18 years old. I mean, we first met when I was 18 and I think he was 19. Then my life changed, I was in a girlband and I had to move to L.A. while he kept living in Brazil, it was only in 2015 where I was touring in Brazil by my own that we reconnected and started a relationship. We dated for one year until he asked me to marry him and I decided to live the live he was offering. We got married in December of 2016 and we moved to Brazil to start this new life together, I went on a hiatus in my career because he asked me to do so and I kind felt that it was worth trying, I wanted that life back then. But as we started living by ourselves the differences started to appear and the way he would manipulate me, put me in this alienated state of mind, I was always thinking about everything that I had done before I met him and how I could throw it away to live with somebody that I thought I knew but I didn’t at all. So, he started lying to me to the point where he would left me alone at home taking care of our newborn and he would go out with his friends. I remember that there was a situation where we went on to visit his parents at his hometown in the country side of Brazil. The place is very isolated and I was left with my ex-mother-in-law at the house while he told me he was going to meet a person to talk about business, by the way, he used to own a marketing company. One year later I found out that he actually went on to a local bar to drink with his childhood friends. So this first verse is about that moment. I was remembering while I made the track. The lies, the overthinking, the energy wasted on my side to try to understand why he would do all those things to me and to his son. I can tell you this now, because I don’t see myself as a victim anymore, I actually feel more like a survivor.”Quote:Chorus
These things I’ve been dreaming about These memories that I can’t get rid off Every night I’m coming back to the beginning Revisiting Revisiting
It looks like an old movie Or a book that was never written Every night I’m coming back to the beginning Revisiting Revisiting “I needed to express what I was feeling. I had just broken up with him and I had a child to raise, I couldn’t go over and over the things that I had experienced without letting them get out of my mind and the way I found out how to do that was to sing about it. The more I sing these lines, the better I feel.”Quote:Second Verse
Guess that I was too naive to see the truth And you made me weak, so that I’d only rely on you I was blindfolded Waiting for a miracle But It would never happen Never “At the very end of things, I felt like I was stupid or dumb, vulnerable, blindfolded, a dreamer. I used to blame myself for letting him do the things he did to me. But here’s the thing, being in the spotlight for so long as I have been and touring for living can be really isolating and lonely and so, you need to feel connected to somebody in order to be safe or stay mentally healthy, that’s why when he first appeared in my life I was that naïve girl looking for her prince. A man that would take me to his castle and would protect me from the world, but who was I to think that I needed protection from the world? Was I trying to run away from who I really was? I dunno. So, I don’t blame me anymore for what happened. The miracle at the ending was my son, he was the inspiration I needed to put an end to that situation.” “This track is about that, I know that it might sound sad or tragic, but I think that as humans we grow up from our own tragedies. Today I feel that I’m an experienced woman, I have lived, and I have been in an abusive relationship myself and I managed to escape, I like to think that I had made my own miracle in the end.” |
