Backsmacking, for those who don't know is when you take a song and put it in reverse. Some artists of course decide to put reversed lyrics in their own songs. I always found those to be interesting and so I decided to make a list of these songs. In the parenthesis are the lyrics. And yes, I did have to reverse some of these myself lmao so some of the lyrics may not be exactly correct (and some I couldn't understand at all). I'll probably add more as I find them.
- Utada Hikaru's Sanctuary (I Need More Affection Than You Know)
- Crystal Castles' Femen (They literally took Scala & Kolacny Brothers' chorale cover and reversed it)
- Bedtimestories' Harpies (They took Crystal Castles' Femen and remixed that, so it's like coverception)
- Ambra's Secret World Of Crystals (This was in a different language)
- Holy Grin's Drvnkfvck (No Lyrics, just backward instruments)
- Holy Grin's Wolfchant (Just a drawn out 'oooohhh' that didn't sound quite right played before reversing the rest of the song)
- Crystal Castles' Mercenary (Their song 'Sad Eyes' played backwards--or at least the instruments bit)
- Holy Grin's Hello C***s (Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
with creepy laughing)
- Paula Cole's Tiger (This bright red feeling, this tigerlily down my mouth it wants to grow to 20)
- Mandragora Scream's Lunatic Asylum (And I will see thing wings all night)
- Crywolf's Dirge (shine down upon me have I been holding my breath all my life)
- Made In Heights' Murakami (don't know weather it was real or just a dream the difference in what you say what you mean what you mean you don't really know. I'm touch with the physical. I'm sure the future like I met you before. Is this a story...)
- Kalwi & Remi's Explosion (still just says explosion lol)
- Skrillex's Scary Monsters & Nice Spirits (I'm just like you)

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
(first chorus)
'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too
Much to take
That all ends when I'm with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side
(repeat first chorus)
(second chorus)
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away
(repeat first chorus)
(repeat second chorus)
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
(first chorus)

And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
Lost is how I'm feeling lying in your arms
When the world outside's too

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away
Never wonder where I am
