One More Try
Mardi Gras.BB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wasn't much 'til now
And you've almost lost
Your will to live
No matter what you've been through
Long as there's breath in you
There is always one more time
Every one that you've had
That don't mean that some dreams
Can't come true
'Cause it's funny about dreams
As strange as it seems
There is always one more time
Oh turnin' corners
Is only a state of mind
Keeping your eyes closed
Is worse than being blind
If there's a heart out there
Looking for someone to share
I don't care if it's been
Turned down time and time again
And if we meet one day
Please don't walk away
'Cause there is always one more time
There is always one more time
The song 'One More Try' by Mardi Gras.BB is an uplifting ballad that encourages one to never give up hope. The lyrics are reflective and introspective, and they have a reassuring quality that tells the listener that things can always get better. The first verse of the song focuses on the idea that life may not have been great until now, and that one may have almost given up on the will to live. However, the lyrics remind us that as long as there is breath in us, there is always one more time, one more chance to start anew. The second verse of the song talks about the fact that even when dreams have gone awry, there is always the possibility that some dreams can come true. It encourages the listener not to give up on their dreams, and to have hope that they will come true.
The chorus of the song talks about 'turning corners' and 'keeping your eyes closed.' Turning corners is a state of mind, and it is up to each individual to determine if they want to turn that corner or not.

Overall, the song is a message of hope and encouragement, urging the listener never to give up on their dreams or their lives.
Line by Line Meaning
If your whole life somehow
If everything you've experienced so far has been unfulfilling
Wasn't much 'til now
You haven't experienced true happiness or success yet
And you've almost lost
You've come close to giving up
Your will to live
Your motivation to keep going
No matter what you've been through
Regardless of the struggles you've faced
Long as there's breath in you
As long as you're alive
There is always one more time
You always have the chance to try again
And if your dreams go bad
If your aspirations don't pan out
Every one that you've had
Every dream that you've dreamed
That don't mean that some dreams
This doesn't imply that other dreams
Can't come true
Won't come to fruition
'Cause it's funny about dreams
Because dreams are peculiar
As strange as it seems
As bizarre as it may appear
There is always one more time
You always have the opportunity to dream again
Oh turnin' corners
Changing directions in life
Is only a state of mind
It's only a perspective shift
Keeping your eyes closed
Refusing to see opportunities
Is worse than being blind
Is more harmful than not being able to see
If there's a heart out there
If there's someone with a kind spirit
Looking for someone to share
Seeking someone to share their life with
I don't care if it's been
I'm indifferent to the fact that it has already happened
Turned down time and time again
Rejected over and over
And if we meet one day
If we cross paths sometime in the future
Please don't walk away
Don't leave without a chance to connect
'Cause there is always one more time
You always have another opportunity to make a connection
There is always one more time
You always have another opportunity to try again or make things right
