Here I Go Again
M3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again

Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again

'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever kown
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone




'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M3's song Here I Go Again captures a sense of being lost yet determined to move forward. The chorus particularly expresses this sentiment, as the singer takes on an uncertain path alone. The line "I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been" conveys that the singer is aware of his past mistakes and wary of repeating them. He acknowledges that holding on to the promises of past songs has not led him to the answers he's looking for, yet he's not giving up his search.


The second verse reveals the singer's desire for love and connection, but he's waiting for it to come to him in the form of "love's sweet charity." He's resolved to hold on to hope despite feeling isolated on the "lonely street of dreams." The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's determination to continue on his own path while acknowledging the inherent loneliness that comes with it. The repeated line "and here I go again on my own" is a powerful mantra of independence that both empowers and saddens.


Overall, the lyrics present a complex mix of emotions, with a sense of determination and hope for the future mixed with a palpable feeling of loneliness and frustration. It speaks to anyone who has felt lost on their life's journey, but who refuses to give up on finding their way.

All the early Whitesnake Albums are the best ...with these guys on it.

Was going to express how wonderful it is to see (hear) MARSDEN & MOODY again but the whole band is fantastic. It's just that the chemistry of that Whitesnake triumvirate with Neil Murray has the magic. Great great stuff.
Many thanks

Honestly, I love this version. It has a soothing kind of mood compare to the 'hairy' version by Whitesnake. Bernie Marsden ftw!

Always great to see Bernie's guitar "the Beast" but I wonder what Micky named his? Not too shabby and great sounding.
