LYRICS
I don’t wanna…

Rat race, place to place, adding weight,
Tendencies on repeat, innit,
Benefit from a shoe with no lace,
Take the seat with the crease in it,

I don’t mind if it’s lonely, I don’t mind if it’s fair,
I don’t care, you control me,
Leading me anywhere.

I don’t wanna backslide to where I started from,
There’s no chance I will shake this again,

’Cause I feel the pull, water’s over my head,
Strength enough for one more time,
Reach my hand above the tide,
I’ll take anything you have,
If you could throw me a line,
I should’ve loved you better,
Do you think that now’s the time
You should let go?

It's over my head.

Bad place on a hundred dollar bass,
Kind of wishing that I never did Saturday,
Is that a stain? You should change.
Are you doing good? Did you solve all of your problems?
Thanks for asking, in a way but,
Accidentally uncovered a new one yesterday,
What happened to what I brushed under the rug,
I used to be the champion of a world you can’t see,

Now I’m drowning in logistics.

[Iguessjessp]

Josh you should direct.
Josh: let’s throw water, leaves and debris at Tyler

[kairbender]

josh: bro what takes you so long?
tyler: you wouldn't believe me

[jasonbutler]

I think Josh at the end perfectly shows that your friends don't always know the storm that your riding through.

[crubip]

This new album is reminding me why I listened to them religiously for like 4 years

[Sanne-Fleur]

"Cause I feel the pull" - Backslide 2024

"I can feel the pull begin" -Fall away 2009

[emilmesmers]

This was an excuse for josh to just throw a bunch of leaves and debris at Tyler LMAOOO ❤

[fildorian]

I know this wont be seen, but I wanna let you know that there are people who understand exactly what you are singing about, people who undergo the same struggles. Your songs mean the world to us.

[jonathanarcoren]

Tyler Upgraded from a tricycle to a bicycle 💀

[marlin]

the callback to stressed out was so perfectly executed.

[Kmetch]

I love the depiction of Tyler going through his cycle and storms while Josh patiently waits, dependably flipping the burger!

[PrayPizzza]

This is the greatest song Tyler Joseph has ever written. He perfectly illustrates what it feels like to live with depression, anxiety, addiction, etc; when you want/need help but don’t feel worthy. (YOU ARE WORTHY! If you need a line, ask. Your life is valuable and you are LOVED!!)

[nidevermv]

The fact that the music video loops back to the beginning at the end is genius. Exactly how backsliding feels, you get so far and experience so much just to start it all again.

edit: holy cow i have never gotten so many likes before thanks so much

[alexanderhdmi]

Man every single one of the singles they've released for this album have been drastically different from the next. And that's kind of the case with every TOP album. Every song is so varied and different. It's like unwrapping Christmas gifts.

[JosephLachh]

People are saying this reminds them of stressed out. But the message of this song is likened to fall away.

[ShawWow]

I love that the flip of the burger at the end and beginning symbolizes the flipping back and forth of the mentality of those of us with depression and addiction etc.

[shalevhaham]

His name's Clancy and he cares what we think.

[GianSK]

I would like to tell you something that has been happening to me with this song since it came out.
I am a person with trichotillomania disorder, I mainly tend to pull out my eyebrows without realizing it because of my depression. This means that my appearance is never what I want and what I know I can achieve, and in many moments I can't even look at myself in a mirror. It's very frustrating to feel months of progress crumble due to an anxiety attack.
From the first time I heard Backslide, I was able to interpret parts of the lyrics from a side of self-love. The pre-chorus "I don't wanna backslide to where I've started from. There's no chance I will shake this again" is helping and motivating me to keep going and not fall into the cycle again, and try to appreciate myself in the process.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. Sharing it, even anonymously, helps me a lot <3

[foxseligman]

God the vocals are so powerful at 1:06. You have Tyler's main vocal but in the back you've got this really shrill falsetto that reminds me of a church choir for some reason and this vocal that's absolutely belting out emotion between the two

[bemlok]

I can see everyone singing this chorus together, really loud, in a concert.

[jenn.]

After the release date change, we will now have Clancy the 21st week of the year
