Hello again
Intwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A child that seeks in the redemption
Of the mother who's lonely cries
Never let them sleep before hearing
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
As the radio plays their favourite song
Of a man that's barely breathing
For the thirteenth times of his sick and shiver life
He hears a voice of angels laughing
As they say
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
Hello again
And all that they could do
Is wait for it to pass
Fear is something that a man can't change
That is all they wish for
Even when they say
Even when they say, yeah
Even when they say goodbye
Even when they say
Even when they say, yeah
Even when they say goodbye
Your troubles dem always keep following you, yeah
Your troubles dem always keep following you
Your troubles dem always keep following you, yeah
Your troubles dem always keep following you
Following you, following you, following you
Following you, following you, following you
Your troubles dem always keep following you, yeah
Your troubles dem always keep following you
Following you, following you, following you
Following you, following you, following you, oh
The lyrics of Intwine's song Hello Again convey a sense of struggle and endlessness, as the singer seems to be caught in a vicious cycle of battles and wars that can never be won. The opening lines suggest a desire for redemption, but it is unclear if this refers to the singer seeking redemption for themselves or seeking redemption for their mother, who is described as crying alone. The phrase "never let them sleep before hearing" suggests the urgency and importance of this situation, as if the singer is haunted by the sound of their mother's sobs.
The repetition of the phrase "Hello again" throughout the song suggests a search for connection or a desire to reconnect with someone or something. The mention of a man who is "barely breathing" and has a "sick and shiver life" seems to further underscore this theme of impermanence and the search for something more. The line "fear is something that a man can't change" suggests a resignation to the difficulties of life, but the repetition of the phrase "even when they say goodbye" seems to suggest that there is still some hope or desire to hold on to something despite the struggles.
Overall, the lyrics of Hello Again convey a sense of searching for connections and meaning in the midst of difficult circumstances, and a willingness to keep trying even when the outcome is uncertain.
