Here We Go Again
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He had a chocolate treat for every tear she cried
Then she fell down by the hand of him as she fell down
She said, "Here we go again, it's not my fault this time
As if it ever was before"
He's got her where he wants in the palm of his hand
He's effortless well, in the palm of his hands
But she knows it won't be too long
She's been down this road a thousand times before
He always seems to come, before she's out the door
But not this time she said, "I'm gonna take my life back from him"
And not this time she said, "I'm gonna take my life back from him
And it's not my fault this time as if it ever was before"
He's got her where he wants in the palm of his hand
He's effortless, in the palm of his hands
She's helpless, but she feels safe when he's around
But she knows it won't be too long
Until she sees this side of him again
Until she sees this side of him again
Until she sees this side of him again
In the palm of his hand
He's effortless, in the palm of his hands
She's helpless, but she feels safe when he's around
And she knows it won't be too long
She feels safe when he's around
And she knows it won't be too long
Until she sees this side of him again
The song "Here We Go Again" by Buck-O-Nine is a powerful portrayal of the struggle of an abusive relationship. The lyrics speak of a couple who had a lovely getaway by the seaside during the Independence Day weekend, but then the tone of the song takes a darker turn when the woman falls down by the hand of the man. She utters the words "Here we go again, it's not my fault this time, as if it ever was before". This phrase implies that the woman has been subjected to abuse by her partner multiple times, and it's a repetitive cycle of violence.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the woman's helplessness and the man's hold over her. He has her in the palm of his hand, and she's dependent on him for safety, despite the abuse he inflicts on her. The woman acknowledges that she has been down this road before, and the man always seems to come back before she can escape. But this time, she wants to take her life back from him, implying that she is determined to break free of the cycle of abuse.
The song's lyrics highlight the complexity of abusive relationships and the difficulty in breaking free from them. The woman wants to escape, but she feels trapped because of her emotional dependence on her abuser. The song is a powerful message to anyone who has been in an abusive relationship, encouraging them to take back control of their lives and break free from the cycle.
