2nd Chance
Accessory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

An unfulfilled desire
I’ve never wanted more
Losing all that I’ve admired
Like a sailor on shore

I’m begging for some kindness
I’ve never hoped for more
That’s all what I confess
That’s all that I adore

I’m sorry that you made me cry
I’m sorry that you felt delight
I ask you for a second chance
- though it makes no sense

These desperate excesses
To get your graceful sight
To sense your roaming lashes
To keep the grateful light

The race that’s not required
An end I’ll never find




I’m sick of being tired
I guess I waste my time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Accessory's song 2nd Chance speak of unfulfilled desires and the loss of admiration that comes with them. The singer compares their situation to that of a sailor on shore, who is no longer able to navigate the open sea. They beg for kindness, something they have never hoped for, and confess that it is what they adore. Despite acknowledging the pain caused by the person they are addressing, the singer asks for a second chance, admitting that it may not make logical sense to do so.


In the second verse, the singer expresses desperate excesses in their attempts to catch the attention of the person they are addressing. They long to see their graceful sight and sense their roaming lashes (perhaps a reference to the way someone's eyelashes move when they blink or look around). They want to keep the grateful light, which could mean anything from a metaphorical sense of hope to the actual light that emanates from this person.


The final stanza mentions a race that's not required and an end that the singer will never find. The exhaustion they feel is tangible, and they are aware that they waste their time in their current state. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and sadness, while also acknowledging the futility of holding onto something that may no longer be there.
