For Once In My Life
Leviticus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone trying to say...
You're no good for me.
It's hard to believe that I've been waiting all these years And still someone tries to say...
You're no good for me.
I was standing there alone with my feet on either side...
One of them in heaven and the other caught in pride.
For once in my life, a feeling so strong That I can't get it out of my mind...
You have thrown them all away and made me clean.
I was bound but now I'm free... 'cause the voice inside of me Has told me what to do
The lyrics of Leviticus's song "For Once In My Life" seem to be speaking about the struggle of being rejected by someone and finding oneself trapped in feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. The line "I was touched by a word which was colder than ice" highlights the impact of hurtful words on a person's emotional state. The singer of the song talks about how someone tells them they are not good enough for them and how this negative message lingers in their mind.
The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has been waiting for a long time for something or someone, only to be told that they are not good enough. The line "I was standing there alone with my feet on either side" suggests that the singer is caught between two worlds, one where they feel at peace and another where their "pride" is causing them to second-guess themselves.
But despite these feelings of uncertainty, the singer is able to find a sense of empowerment in the voice inside their head that tells them what to do. They talk about a feeling so strong that they can't get it out of their mind, and how it's helping them move past their mistakes and become a better person. The message of the song seems to be one of resilience and self-acceptance, even in the face of rejection.
