Love Me Again
John Newman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left your heart torn
Is that what devils do?
Took you so low
Where only fools go
I shook the angel in you
Now I'm rising from the ground
Filled with all the strength I found
There's nothing I can't do
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
Can you love me again?
It's unforgivable
I stole and burnt your soul
Is that what demons do?
They rule the worst of me
Destroy everything
They bring down angels like you
Now I'm rising from the ground
Rising up to you
Filled with all the strength I found
There's nothing I can't do
(Alright)
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
Alright
Can you love me again?
Oh, I told you once, I can't do this again
Do this again, oh Lord
I told you once, I can't do this again
Do this again, oh Lord
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
Can you love me again?
Can you love me again, oh
Can you love me again?
The lyrics to John Newman's song "Love Me Again" explore the theme of redemption and the desire to rebuild a broken relationship. The opening lines allude to the singer's previous wrongdoings, which have left his partner's heart in tatters. He questions whether he has acted like a devil, taking her to a place where only fools go. He acknowledges that he has brought out the worst in himself and destroyed the angel in his partner.
However, the chorus sees a change in attitude from the singer, who now seeks to rise from the ground and be filled with all the strength that he has found. He pleads with his partner to answer his question - can she love him again? The repetition of "know now" adds an urgency to his request, as if he is worried about the possibility of reconciliation slipping away.
The second verse sees the singer confessing to his unforgivable actions in burning his partner's soul. He characterizes himself as a demon who destroys everything, including angels like his partner. Despite this, he continues to rise up from the ground and build himself back up.
The bridge of the song adds another layer to the singer's struggle for redemption. He acknowledges that he has already been in this scenario once, where he told his partner he couldn't do it again. The repetition of "Do this again, oh Lord" highlights his fear of going through the same cycle of destruction once more. However, he still seeks a positive outcome, asking his partner if she can love him again.
Overall, "Love Me Again" is a powerful anthem about the human capacity for change and the desire for redemption. It combines catchiness with a profound message in a way that resonates with many.
