Born Again
Acadiana Trace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can cry to
But can't blame anymore
It's quiet in your bedroom
When you walked away, I cut my tongue on what I can't say
Go on tell me Amanda
Why can't I bitch till the sun goes down
Go on tell me Amanda
I'm running from anything
And I'm hiding from everyone
Watching empire with my brother
Spring of '16 on a couch that felt like home
Can't help that I'm falling backwards
I'm going nowhere with this weight tied to my bones
I'll wake up here tomorrow suspended by the bottle again
You beat me to the bottom
"No hate comes from the bible", you said
I'm running from anything
And I'm hiding from everyone
I'll wake up here tomorrow suspended by the bottle again
I'm home again
They don't know I'm born again
The song "Born Again" by Acadiana Trace explores themes of personal struggle, self-destructive behavior, and finding redemption. The lyrics depict a narrator who is wrestling with their inner demons and seeking solace from a toxic relationship. The opening lines, "There's a devil on my shoulder, You can cry to, But can't blame anymore," suggest that the singer is aware of their own destructive tendencies but no longer wants to rely on others for support or place blame on anyone else.
The lyrics also highlight the feeling of isolation and loneliness, particularly in the lines, "It's quiet in your bedroom, When you walked away, I cut my tongue on what I can't say." This suggests that the singer is longing for connection and struggling to express their emotions, resulting in a sense of internal turmoil.
The reference to "watching empire with my brother, Spring of '16 on a couch that felt like home" adds a nostalgic element to the song, implying that the singer is reminiscing about a time when they felt secure and at ease. However, they are currently trapped in a cycle of self-destruction, as indicated by the lyrics, "I'll wake up here tomorrow suspended by the bottle again, You beat me to the bottom."
Yet, amidst the struggles and darkness, there is a glimmer of hope. The final lines, "I'm home again, They don't know I'm born again," suggest that the singer has found a way to rise above their troubles and find redemption. They may have undergone a transformative experience, leading to a sense of rebirth or renewal.
Overall, "Born Again" delves into the internal battles and search for redemption in the face of self-destructive behavior and emotional turmoil.
