Meaning of Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)

“Back to Life” by Soul II Soul is a poignant plea for reconnection and a return to genuine reality after being lost in a fantasy. The repeated questioning, “How ever do you want me, how ever do you need me?” reveals a vulnerability and a desire for clarity within a relationship that’s become stagnant. It's about stepping back from an imagined future and confronting the present moment with a partner, urging them to take control and define their needs. The lyrics express a longing for change—a “positive change”—and a need to escape the potential for trouble. The artist is offering space and trust, inviting the other person to initiate, but also highlighting the frustration of waiting passively. Ultimately, the song’s core message is an urgent call to action, reminding both parties that it's time to move forward, end unproductive games, and find a solid foundation before drifting further apart.
