Here We Go Again
Angus feat. Julia Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's only a doorway away.
You know what they say about getting colder,
In the middle of the day.
You can live in the corner of my room,
And I will live somewhere between the ceiling and the wall.
And if I need anything at all
That's what I'll do.
Oh here we go again
I'll sit out on the front sofa while your hands they talk to me
All of this dragging around it's not as fun as it used to be
Oh here we go again
All that I wanted all that I needed
Oh here we go again
The opening lines of Angus feat. Julia Stone's song "Here We Go Again" sound like an ominous warning about aging. The lyrics suggest that growing older only leads to a door where your life ends. The next line, "You know what they say about getting colder in the middle of the day," further compounds this existential dread. The phrase is symbolic of how things can change suddenly in life, leaving a person feeling helpless and exposed in the middle of it all.
However, the song, instead of being entirely about aging, takes a turn towards love and companionship. The lyrics "You can live in the corner of my room, and I will live somewhere between the ceiling and the wall" indicate a desire to be close to someone. It's an unconventional way of living, but it symbolizes the closeness that the singer shares with the person - they are living together, yet in their own personal space. The lines "And if I need anything at all, I'll call out to you, That's what I'll do" suggest that the two are there for each other and can always rely on one another.
The chorus of the song, "Oh here we go again, I'll sit on the front sofa while your hands they talk to me. All of this dragging around it's not as fun as it used to be. Oh, here we go again. All that I wanted, all that I needed," is a recognition of the power of human connection. The mundane activity of sitting while someone speaks with their hands is elevated to a moment of intimacy. The dragging around symbolizes how life can seem tedious and exhausting, but having someone with whom to share it all with can make it bearable. The final line is a reminder that sometimes, the most essential things in life are the simple ones.
