Once Upon A Time
Better Off Naked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They echo in my head
And just make sure that the time is right I'm not sure how I'd feel
If nothing went as planned
This always happens to me
Time is not that something that always favors me or ever does
I don't want to be part of this game that I never see
That pulls me up as I fall down
A part of this game that I never see
Then you needed something back
Then you know it's not just friend
Realise I won't fake it
Cause it's not the same the time before
How can we have not gone through this yet
How can I just do without that same old feeling
I'm sitting alone and thinking about all these times
I end up forcing out the memories but one still stays
I'm sitting alone a memory of us has stayed that I can't forget
And it kills me that you'll never feel it
In "Once Upon a Time," the singer expresses the pain she is going through after a relationship has ended. She hears the words that her partner said in her head and wishes for another chance to make things right. The lyrics suggest that time has not been kind to her, and she feels stuck in a game she cannot win. She is full of regret and wishes to forget the memories that keep haunting her, but she can't seem to let go.
The chorus highlights the singer's desperation for a second chance that would pull her up as she falls down. She yearns to turn back time and erase the pain caused by the breakup. However, it seems unlikely that she will ever have the chance to experience the same feelings again. The final verse expresses the singer's sadness that her former partner will never understand the depth of her feelings, and she has no hope of reconciling.
Overall, "Once Upon a Time" is a powerful song that deals with the emotional fallout of a failed relationship. The singer's vulnerability and nostalgia are palpable and offer a relatable experience for anyone who has experienced heartbreak.

A huevo, investigue mas de esta banda cuando subiste la de Midnight wish from Dennys y apenas habia como 3 rolas, que chido que las subiste todas
Agent Félix Punk Rocks!
Buena banda de aquellos días de MySpace donde bajabas 2 o 3 rositas ojalá puedas subir más material de esos años como esta gran banda porque es difícil conseguir material hoy en día de aquellos años.
