Again And Again
Mike Garlington and Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, you've got smooth words
Oh, me, I'm a little bit awkward
The way I stumble and I slur
And I thought I'd be more
Something better, less than dirt
But I will never, I will never
Blue, oh, it's just a feeling I get
With you
Oh, I wanna go there again
And blue, oh, it's just a feeling I get
Again, again
Again, oh
And I tried to be clever
But I've closed all those doors
Anyway, I liked me better
When I wasn't so insecure
And I'll wave my face
Like a flag in front of yours
It's so clear, It's so clear
It's so clear, It's so
Blue, oh, it's just a feeling I get
With you
Oh, I wanna go there again
And blue, oh, it's just a feeling I get
Again, again
Again, oh
I'll know more about you when it's over
I'll know more about you over and over
I'll know more about you
Oh, ah
Blue, oh, it's just a feeling I get with you
Oh, I wanna go there again
And blue, oh, it's just a feeling I get
Again, again
Again, again
Again, again
Again, again
Again, again
Again, oh
The lyrics of Mike Garlington and Friends' song "Again and Again" speak of the perseverance of a protagonist who is being subjected to immense ridicule and torment. In the first part of the song, the singer urges their oppressors to dole out every bit of cruelty that they can, including driving nails into their hands and mocking them. However, the singer warns that their strength will shine through, and they will rise again no matter what happens. Death is perceived as a temporary state, and no power on earth can keep them down.
The second part of the song stresses the singer's love for the people who are mocking them. Purposefully, they allow their oppressors to believe that they have defeated them, and the singer goes on to say that they will be back, and no power on earth can keep them away. The singer is revealed to be the Son of God, who has been crucified, buried, and risen again.
The song's lyrics are rooted in Christian belief and refer to the biblical story of Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. However, the message of perseverance and hope found in the song transcends religion and can speak to anyone who has been subjected to adversity. "Again and Again" is a hymn of perseverance, reminding listeners that even when everything seems lost, there is still hope.
