See You Again
Joanna and Alexandra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He won't even hold my hand
Even though we share the same name
In a while I wake him gently
And he'll go on this way
My heart no longer dreams of love
Like a girl of yesterday
Mama
If you could hold me again
Rock me gently in your arms
Tell me a story
The way you used to do
I need someone to love me now
Mama, I need you
Just a lonely stranger
Who don't give a damn about me
Got nobody to turn to
Oh, this ain't the way it should be
Sipping on a cup of coffee
As the sun lights up the sky
Left me here without a kiss goodbye
As I catch my dim reflection
In the mirror on the wall
A lonely lady I see here
Don't look like me at all
Mama
If you could hold me again
Rock me gently in your arms
Tell me a story
The way you used to do
I need someone to love me now
Mama, I need you
(Oh mama)
I need someone to love me now
Mama, I need you
(Mama)
The lyrics of Joanna and Alexandra's song "See You Again" convey a sense of loneliness and longing for love and connection. The opening lines suggest a feeling of isolation and abandonment, as the singer is lying in darkness without even receiving the comfort of physical touch from someone who shares their name. This lack of emotional intimacy is further emphasized when the singer says their heart no longer dreams of love, indicating a sense of disillusionment and loss.
The chorus introduces the idea of the singer seeking solace and love from their mother, symbolizing a longing for a nurturing and supportive figure in their life. They yearn for the warmth of being held and rocked gently in their mother's arms, and for the comforting stories she used to tell. This desire for maternal love and guidance implies a longing for emotional stability and a sense of safety.
As the lyrics progress, the singer describes themselves as a lonely stranger who feels disregarded and abandoned by others. They express a feeling of being left behind without a proper farewell, as represented by the lack of a goodbye kiss. Looking into the mirror, the singer sees a reflection that no longer resembles their true self, suggesting a feeling of lost identity and disconnection from who they once were.
Overall, the song portrays a deep yearning for love, connection, and emotional support. It explores themes of loneliness, longing, and the desire to be held and understood by someone who cares.

Lying here in darkness
Feeling alone and abandoned
He won't even hold my hand
He refuses to offer any comfort or support
Even though we share the same name
Despite our connection, he remains distant
In a while I wake him gently
I try to engage with him softly and lovingly
And he'll go on this way
But he continues to ignore my presence
My heart no longer dreams of love
My heart has lost hope in finding love
Like a girl of yesterday
Like a young, naive girl in the past
Mama
My mother
If you could hold me again
If only you could embrace me once more
Rock me gently in your arms
Comfort me with your tender embrace
Tell me a story
Share a tale with me
The way you used to do
As you always did in the past
I need someone to love me now
I long for someone to show me love and care
Mama, I need you
Mother, I am in need of your presence and support
Just a lonely stranger
Feeling like an isolated and unknown individual
Who don't give a damn about me
Who doesn't care about me at all
Got nobody to turn to
No one to seek help or comfort from
Oh, this ain't the way it should be
This is not how things are meant to be
Sipping on a cup of coffee
Taking small, mundane pleasures
As the sun lights up the sky
In the midst of a new day dawning
Left me here without a kiss goodbye
Abandoned without a farewell or affection
As I catch my dim reflection
As I observe my reflection in a dull manner
In the mirror on the wall
Within the reflection staring back at me
A lonely lady I see here
I see a woman filled with loneliness
Don't look like me at all
Who doesn't resemble who I truly am
(Oh mama)
(Expressing longing and sadness)
I need someone to love me now
I yearn for someone to offer love and affection
Mama, I need you
Mother, I am in dire need of you

It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew, good things we been through
That I'd be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path, I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up, look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days, hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place (see you in a better place)
Uh
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I'll see you again)
We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way)
From where we began (you know we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I'll tell you)
When I see you again
First, you both go out your way and the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turned to a friendship, a friendship turned to a bond
And that bond will never be broken, the love will never get lost
(The love will never get lost)
And when brotherhood come first, then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own when that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reached, so remember me when I'm gone
(Remember me when I'm gone)
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home, home
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
When I see you again (yeah, uh)
See you again (yeah, yeah, yeah)
When I see you again

How to have eternal Life
1. Believe that you have sinned (done wrong) and that Jesus can save you.
"All have sinned and have fall short of the glory of God"
Romans 3:23.
2. Ask Jesus to forgive you and make your heart clean.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1 John 1:9
3. Tell Jesus that you want him to be Lord of your life (that you will serve him).
"If you declare that Jesus is lord, and believe that God brought him back to life, you will be saved" Romans 10:9.
4. Trust Jesus to set you free from wanting to sin and to give you a new life that will never end.
"Now you have been freed from sin and have become God’s slaves. This results in a holy life and, finally, in everlasting life"
Romans 6:22
