Again & Again
Mikal Cronin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I got a funny feeling
That the words are wheeling back and forth inside your mind,
And oh, I wouldn't start believing
That the things I do for you will make me feel all right,
But, no, I'm getting so much older,
And it's so much colder every night you're by my side,
But, no, I gotta get ahold of,
Gotta get ahold of what I need to get back mine(?).

One more time, and I'll think it over.
One more time, cuz I lost control.
One more time, and I'll f*ck it over
Again, again, again and again, I know.

And so, I (?????????)
Keeping all the weight and all the way(?) upon my back,
And I want to let the game go,
But you bet I know how long it takes to get on track,
But, no, I'm getting so much older,
And I can't control the things I need to be all right,
But, oh, I gotta get a hold of,
Gotta get a hold of what I need to feel tonight(?).

One more time, and I'll think it over.
One more time, cuz I lost control.




One more time, and I'll f*ck it over
Again, again, again and again, I know.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mikal Cronin's song "Again & Again" seem to revolve around the idea of being in a cycle of repeating mistakes and failed attempts to fix them. The opening lines describe a feeling of uncertainty, where the singer is unsure if the words and actions he's investing in a relationship are reciprocated or just spinning around in his partner's mind. He acknowledges that these efforts may not even make him feel "all right." As the chorus suggests, he's already tried to break free from this cycle, but nothing seems to work. The line "But, no, I gotta get ahold of, gotta get a hold of what I need to get back mine(?)" indicates that he realizes there may be something else he needs to do to get his life back on track.


The second half of the verse describes the weight he carries from trying to fix the relationship, and how it's taking a toll on him. Despite wanting to give up the game, he knows it takes a lot of work to get back on track. The second chorus brings up the idea of losing control again, suggesting that he knows he will make the same mistakes if given another chance. The repetition of "again, again, again and again" is a clear indication that he's stuck in a cycle he can't seem to break free from.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh, I got a funny feeling
I have a peculiar sensation


That the words are wheeling back and forth inside your mind,
That you're indecisive and uncertain about what to do or say.


And oh, I wouldn't start believing
I wouldn't begin to believe


That the things I do for you will make me feel all right,
That doing things for you would restore me to feeling okay.


But, no, I'm getting so much older,
But the truth is, I'm aging faster.


And it's so much colder every night you're by my side,
It's even colder when you're near me each evening.


But, no, I gotta get ahold of,
However, I must grasp


Gotta get ahold of what I need to get back mine(?).
What I need to retrieve, what belongs to me.


One more time, and I'll think it over.
If I do it once more, I'll mull it over.


One more time, cuz I lost control.
Because I had no more control, one more time.


One more time, and I'll f*ck it over
But once more, I'll mess it up.


Again, again, again and again, I know.
I'm aware that I keep repeating the same mistake.


And so, I (?????????)
And so, I am bearing


Keeping all the weight and all the way(?) upon my back,
Bearing this burden on my back, far and heavy.


And I want to let the game go,
I wish to give up this game.


But you bet I know how long it takes to get on track,
However, I'm aware of the length of time it takes to return to the right path.


But, no, I'm getting so much older,
But, unfortunately, I'm aging quickly.


And I can't control the things I need to be all right,
And the essential things for feeling okay are beyond my control.


But, oh, I gotta get a hold of,
But I must grasp


Gotta get a hold of what I need to feel tonight(?).
What I require to feel alright tonight.
