Do It Again
Lyall Moloney Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'd sneak around all in the dark – only stopping for the sirens lark
this long des ert ed power station - this old mansion from a wasted nation,
it's a million stories high boi - we climb until my bones are dry boi,
this SKELETON is full of cricks, - there's no door in here not blocked
w bricks, and that's ok when there's no wall, just hold on, just forget it all
we're climbing through the ghost owned house - and tonight ill fuck my
see through spouse there's nothing that keeps us from flying away -
NOT FROM flying away today, I'm dying today dying today.

another night is acid washed – long forgotten stories lost,
another night of falling long, into the swirls of callings gone,
and we'd both be airborne baby, if we weren't, holding on, baby
sneak through the fence to ghost park - it's really an old powerstation,
and it's long since been evacuated, - it's undergone a great transformation,
this old mansion from a greater nation - throws a shadow over our mistakes and
the police come down to see whats up - and we may be clever but it's
mostly luck, mostly luck mostly luck they can't touch us
they aint neva gonna touch us
And I, and you, do it all again,
we're going to go higher than, we've ever been.
And everybody has their own story, their own version of the smoking glory
and in the morning we'll come together, - and re-tell the ways it fell,
together together, fell together, said it fell together, fell together
but it aint gonna be like this forever

You and I, do it all again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lyall Moloney's "Do It Again" beautifully unravels the tale of two lovers who are on the edge of society, engaging in a life of thrilling adventure, sneaking into abandoned mansions and desolate power stations. They revel in each other and their own recklessness, and their escapades are fueled by the adrenaline rush that comes with the uncertainty of being caught, as suggested by the line "they can't touch us, they ain't neva gonna touch us."

The song speaks to the human desire to challenge societal norms and seek out unconventional ways of living, even if it requires breaking the law. It also shines a light on the ties between love, danger, and the allure of the unknown. The singers' love for each other is paralleled by their love for these structures that have been left to decay, and they are united in their quest for elevated experiences.

Ultimately, "Do It Again" is a song that celebrates thrill-seeking and nonconformity in love and life.
