Born Again
Charlie & Jill Leblanc Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who am I
Who will I be
My reflections haven't told me who I'm supposed to be yet
Pause the world's just starting
Pause and breathe deep
We are born again, again, again

I have loved you and all of your pieces as a whole
And I have loved you like a universe and all of it's stars
And I've loved you

Fill your lungs
And remember the beauty of it all
And remember to breathe out again
I have realized
That I haven't even lived half the years
My body has been carrying all along

I have loved you and all of your pieces as a whole
And I have loved you like a universe and all of it's stars
And I've loved you

Pause the world's not running




Pause and breathe my dear
We are born again, again, again

Overall Meaning

The song "Born Again" by Charlie & Jill Leblanc is a reflective song about the search for one's identity and the importance of taking a pause in life to reflect on it. The lyrics "Who am I, Who will I be?" suggest the confusion and uncertainty that some people face when trying to figure out their place in the world. The line "My reflections haven't told me who I'm supposed to be yet" implies that the singer is trying to understand and find themselves, but nothing seems to be giving them the answer they seek.


The idea of taking a moment to pause is repeated throughout the song, with the lyrics "Pause the world's just starting, Pause and breathe deep, Pause the world's not running, Pause and breathe my dear". This suggests that sometimes we get caught up in the fast-paced world around us and forget to take a moment to reflect on our lives. The repetition of the phrase "We are born again, again, again" could be seen as an affirmation that with every pause and deep breath, we have the opportunity to start anew and rediscover ourselves.


The theme of love is also present in the song, with the lines "I have loved you and all of your pieces as a whole, And I have loved you like a universe and all of its stars". These lines suggest that the love the singer has for someone is all-encompassing and boundless, much like the universe itself. The final stanza, "And remember to breathe out again, I have realized, That I haven't even lived half the years, My body has been carrying all along", reminds the listener to remember to exhale and let go of the things that may be weighing them down.
