About the song[]
The song was written during demo sessions for the Astronaut album, which began in the south of France in June 2001. The band wrote more than 30 songs during the demo sessions that continued into 2002 and 2003.
Duran Duran signed a record deal with Epic Records in June of 2004. The Astronaut songs were given a final polishing with producer Don Gilmore at Sphere Studios in London, and then mixed by Jeremy Wheatley in June and July.
Nick Rhodes later said that "Point of No Return" was recorded and remained in its entirety from the pre-production stage in France. He also added "To me it's one of the most beautiful moments on the Astronaut album".

Lyrics[]
The random aspects of our lives Come together once in a while So blinding and decidedly Naivety falls from our eyes And we'll not regain As we watch the tower falling down Maybe things can change Only if you want Maybe things can change Only if you want You know, you know there's no avoiding The lesson to be learned The lesson to be learned The point of no return We say "What if?" But can you live it? It's all that we deserve It's all that we deserve The point of no return Don't blame yourself Don't blame me But we're the ones Who can feed the ground So this poison tree, don't ever grow again And from this glass and broken nerve There is a way, there can be built A better life for everyone Maybe things can change Only if you want Maybe things can change Only if you want You know, you know there's no avoiding The lesson to be learned The lesson to be learned The point of no return We say "What if?" But can you live it? It's all that we deserve It's all that we deserve The point of no return
