Describing the single, singer Lacey Mosley says, "It is written for people like me, who feel a restlessness to make the world better somehow, but are much too small to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Its to say, you have the right heart, but you weren’t meant to carry it all. You are so strong, you are able to handle so much! But you can’t handle everything all at once. Let go! God’s big and He can handle it all better than you! Its okay to let go and not understand everything. I should start a control freak support group… Anyone interested? Maybe this song will help us. I sing it to myself “Only surrender will help you now..” And then I let go."
Again
Flyleaf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With every injustice and deadly fate
Praying it all will be new
And living like it all depends on you
Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love that you're never satisfied
With face value wisdom and happy lies
You take what they say and go back and cry
You're so close to me that you nearly died, oh
Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again
They don't have to understand you
Be still
Wait and know I understand you
Be still
Be still
Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
And only surrender will help you now
The floodgates are breaking
And pouring out
Here you are down on your knees
Trying to find air to breathe
Right where I want you to be again
I love you please see and believe again
Here you are down on your knees again
Trying to find air to breathe again
Right where I want you to be again
See and believe!
The lyrics to Flyleaf’s “Again” speak to the struggles of life and the need for surrender and belief. The opening lines say “I love the way that your heart breaks/With every injustice and deadly fate/Praying it all will be new/And living like it all depends on you.” Here, the singer is admiring the empathy and compassion of the listener, but also acknowledging the weight they carry with them as they take on the pain of the world. The lyrics suggest that despite the difficulties, the listener remains hopeful and keeps praying for a better world.
The chorus then repeats the message of surrender: “Here you are down on your knees again/Trying to find air to breathe again/And only surrender will help you now/I love you please see I believe again.” The singer is urging the listener to let go of their burdens and trust in something greater than themselves.
The second verse continues to highlight the listener’s strength in the face of adversity: “I love that you're never satisfied/With face value wisdom and happy lies/You take what they say and go back and cry/You're so close to me that you nearly died, oh.” The lyrics recognize that the listener does not settle for easy answers or superficial solutions, but rather searches for deeper meaning and understanding. However, this pursuit often leads to emotional exhaustion and vulnerability.
The bridge then offers a message of comfort and understanding: “They don't have to understand you/Be still/Wait and know I understand you/Be still/Be still.” The singer encourages the listener to be patient, to trust that they are understood, and to find peace in stillness.
Finally, the song ends on a powerful note of release and renewal: “The floodgates are breaking/And pouring out/Here you are down on your knees/Trying to find air to breathe/Right where I want you to be again/See and believe!” The floodgates breaking symbolize the release of all the pain and emotion the listener has been holding onto, and the act of letting go allows them to find air to breathe again. The lyrics drive home the message that surrender and belief are necessary for healing and renewal.
