The title can refer to the idea of regretting doing or saying something, and wanting to take it back, to undo what has occurred, to reset and begin again. The phrase can also reference the concept of reclaiming or taking back something that was once possessed and should now be returned to our possession, for example the idea of taking back the streets or taking back power. In this exciting and compressed composition for solo recorder, the music continually takes phrases back into circulation from earlier parts of the piece, transforming them each time, as if reclaiming or recycling the material and bending it to a new purpose.
