Here I Go Again
Whitesnake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again, here I go again
Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
The song "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake is an anthem of self-reliance and determination. The lyrics speak of a person feeling lost and uncertain, but they have made up their mind to go on their own path and not waste any more time. The singer is aware that they can't always find the answers they are looking for, but they are willing to keep searching and to keep walking down the "lonely street of dreams".
The chorus of the song features the repetition of "Here I go again on my own" which emphasizes the idea of independence and self-sufficiency. The metaphor of the "lonely street of dreams" suggests that the path of following one's dreams can be a solitary one, but the singer is willing to walk it nonetheless. The song is uplifting and encourages the listener to be confident in their own decisions and to not be afraid to go it alone.
