Once Again
HankS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop hanging on to memory that's over now
But if I do what I have in my world I pretend
Cause to this world I go each night once more you're mine again
Once more you're mine again you hold me close to you
And when I see you leave my world again I'm blue
I feel the teardrops on my face the hurt starts movin' in
Tonight I'll go back to my world once more you're mine again
HankS's song "Once Again" is a touching ballad that revolves around the theme of loss and heartbreak. The song portrays the emotions of heartache and the struggle to let go of someone who is no longer present. The opening lines of the song "I've got to make myself let go off you somehow, Stop hanging on to memory that's over now" conveys the feeling of the singer holding on to the memories of a lost love, but they know that it's time to move on.
Despite knowing that they have to move on, the singer cannot help but pretend that they are still with the loved one. The line "Cause to this world I go each night once more you're mine again" portrays the singer's desire to hold onto the love they once had. The chorus of the song "Once more you're mine again, you hold me close to you, and when I see you leave my world again I'm blue" encapsulates the emotions of the singer who is caught between the past and the present.
The songwriter uses vivid imagery to express the emotions of the singer. Lines like "I feel the teardrops on my face," and "the hurt starts movin' in" help the listener understand the pain that the character is going through. The repetition of "Tonight I'll go back to my world once more you're mine again" emphasizes the emotional turmoil of the singer, who cannot seem to let go of the memories of the past.
