I cannot shy away
I'm ready
Help me feel novocaine
I'm ready
Help me erase the pain
How many
To help me numb down my pain
I swear its too many drugz
Now I can't feel my face
I swear its too many drugz
Come & See me once again
Come See me once again
I'm not ready for a hallow
Come & See me once again
Come See me once again
I'm not ready for a hallow
Come & See me once again
Come See me once again
I'm not ready for a hallow
Come & See me once again
Come See me once again
I'm not ready for a hallow
Tell me that it's alright
Tell me it ends tonight
Tell me you see the signs
Don't tell me it's in my mind
Put in a fist I fight
I do not feel I'm ice
Look at my wrist not nice
It got me up all night
I have no patience
I cannot waste no time
Juss like a pencil
I'm trynna erase my lies
It's all in my head
Where there's no space or time
Everyday
Everyday not nice
Can you say hey
Check up on me if I'm ight
I need some space
I'm trynna evade my mind
Tried to pretend
Tried to protect I'm ight
Everyday
I do not rest at night
Come & See me once again
Come See me once again
I'm not ready for a hallow
Come & See me once again
Come See me once again
I'm not ready for a hallow
Come & See me once again
Come See me once again
I'm not ready for a hallow
Come & See me once again
Come See me once again
I'm not ready for a hallow
The lyrics to G.고릴라's song "Once Again" convey themes of emotional pain, the search for relief, and the desire for connection and support.
The first verse expresses a readiness to confront and overcome pain. The repetition of "I'm ready" emphasizes the determination to face the challenges head-on. The line "Help me feel novocaine" suggests a longing for numbness or an escape from the pain. The mention of "too many drugz" and not being able to feel the face implies excessive reliance on substances as a coping mechanism, leading to a loss of feeling and detachment from reality.
The chorus, repeated throughout the song, emphasizes the plea for someone to come and see the singer once again. The repetition underscores the desperation for connection and support. The mention of not being ready for a "hallow" likely refers to not being emotionally ready for emptiness or loneliness.
The second verse delves into the desire for assurance and validation. The plea to be told that everything is alright and that the pain will end tonight indicates a longing for reassurance and hope. The notion of seeing the signs implies that the singer seeks acknowledgment and understanding from someone else. However, the line "Don't tell me it's in my mind" suggests a fear of being dismissed or invalidated.
The third verse touches upon the singer's impatience and a strong desire to erase their own lies and distorted thoughts. The metaphor of being like a pencil trying to erase lies emphasizes the need for self-forgiveness and self-acceptance. The mention of a restless mind and inability to rest at night alludes to the constant turmoil and unease experienced by the singer.
Overall, "Once Again" explores the struggles of someone dealing with emotional pain, seeking relief, and yearning for connection. It reflects a desire to be understood and supported while addressing the challenges of self-doubt and the need for emotional healing.
