Here I Go Again
David Hasselhoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Though I keep searchin' for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm lookin' for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Ooh baby, ooh yeah
And I've made up my mind
Ooh baby, ain't wasting no more time
And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
Here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
The lyrics to David Hasselhoff's song "Here I Go Again" depict a person who is uncertain about their future, but is determined to move forward and not waste any more time. The singer reflects on their past experiences and the promises they believed in, perhaps referring to the optimism and hope found in songs from their past. However, despite searching for answers, they feel like they haven't found what they're looking for. They pray for strength to continue on their journey, acknowledging the challenges they face and the feeling of walking a lonely path.
The singer acknowledges their independence and self-reliance, comparing themselves to a drifter who was destined to walk alone. They have made up their mind not to waste any more time and are ready to face whatever comes their way. They express the desire to be rescued, waiting for love's mercy and compassion, but ultimately decide to hold on and continue their journey without relying on others. The repetition of the phrase "Here I go again" emphasizes their determination and resoluteness to move forward alone.
This song can be interpreted as a reflection on personal growth, resilience, and the willingness to embrace one's individual path, even if it means walking alone. It captures the sense of self-discovery and the realization that one must rely on their own strength and decisions to navigate through life's challenges.

No, I don't know where I'm goin'
I am unsure about my future and the path I should take
But I sure know where I've been
However, I am aware of the experiences and journeys I have already had
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
Finding comfort and hope in the nostalgic songs that remind me of the past
And I've made up my mind
I have come to a decision
I ain't wasting no more time
I will no longer spend time aimlessly or without purpose
Though I keep searchin' for an answer
Despite my continuous search for clarity
I never seem to find what I'm lookin' for
I have yet to discover what I truly seek
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
I plea to a higher power for the resilience to persevere
'Cause I know what it means
Because I am aware of the significance
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
To endure the solitary journey towards my aspirations
And here I go again on my own
Once again, I embark on this journey alone
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Traveling along the familiar path I have always followed
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
Similar to a wanderer, my nature compels me to traverse alone
Just another heart in need of rescue
Yet another individual longing for salvation
Waiting on love's sweet charity
Anticipating the act of compassion from love
I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days
I will persevere and remain resilient for the entirety of my life
But here I go again
Yet, I find myself in a similar situation once more
Ooh baby, ooh yeah
Expressing excitement or anticipation
And I've made up my mind
I have reached a firm decision
Ooh baby, ain't wasting no more time
I am determined not to squander any more time
Here I go again on my own
Once again, I embark on this journey alone
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Traveling along the familiar path I have always followed
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
Similar to a wanderer, my nature compels me to traverse alone
'Cause I know what it means
Because I am aware of the significance
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
To endure the solitary journey towards my aspirations
Here I go again on my own
Once again, I embark on this journey alone
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Traveling along the familiar path I have always followed
