Here's what Vanessa has to say about "Back to Life" - In the transitory chapter between the end of active addiction or abuse and the beginnings of recovery, you have no choice but to deeply feel everything you’ve tried to numb. The song’s layers of piano, synths, background harmonies, and drum machines meld into the feeling of ice water. The song brings to mind the stillness of a frozen lake with undulating currents moving underneath. The music itself is the feeling of a body coming back to life from the inside out.

Lyrics:
Lying
In the dark
Waiting patiently
Pill like a diamond
Putting me to sleep

Black swan
I’ve become
I want to know no one
Bring me a stranger
On the eve of renaissance

Pendulum above my body swings
Know that I’m a living breathing thing
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life

Waiting...
Hungry...
A bird upon the sea
Under navy
The craving comes for me
Wait it out
It’s different now,
The powers coming slowly
Touch my skin
It’s delicate
I can feel the change

Pendulum above my body swings
know that I’m a living breathing thing
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life
Back to…

Sight
Sound
Touch me
To find…
Bad
Good
Dead…
Alive…

Pendulum above my body swings
Know that I’m a living breathing thing
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life
Back to…
