Born Again
Overmars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wider. Deeper.
My hand's plunged inside, twisting the knife.
Seeing the plague’s face taking shape doesn't scare me anymore.
Seeing the plague coming out of my wounds liberates me.
I'm close to dying a thousand times
But this time I allowed myself to cry.
Why the contact with the ground should be painful if I know I'm falling?
Arms in a cross, ready to absorb the shock.
I just know I can't go lower.
There is no under.
Just me, myself and I.
And the will to stay or to climb.
Light is brighter from the dark
And I want to kiss the sun.
Not to drown in what's supposed to make me breathe.
I, born again.
Listen to the screams coming out of my wounds, free from the plague.
Listen to the screams coming out of the hole, holding the sound of joy and pleasure.
Listen to my screams announcing the birth of a new man.
I, born again.
Until the bell tolls, nothing's finished, nothing's done.
Until the bell tolls, I am immortal.
The lyrics of "Born Again" by Overmars talks about the struggle of overcoming one's inner demons and being reborn as a new person. The song appears to describe a process of self-reflection, whereby the singer is looking at their wounds, both physical and emotional, and delving deeper into them. The act of doing this is painful yet liberating as the individual comes to terms with their pain and accepts it as part of their journey.
The singer is close to death many times, but this time they allow themselves to cry, enabling them to feel lighter. The lyrics suggest that the singer is ready to accept their fate and make peace with themselves. The lines, "Why the contact with the ground should be painful if I know I'm falling?" indicates that the singer is unafraid of falling as they know that they will eventually touch the ground. They accept that they may fall, but they know that they will eventually rise again.
The song ends on a positive note with the line "Until the bell tolls, I am immortal." This final line suggests that the singer has been transformed and reborn as a new person who is confident in themselves and unafraid of whatever the future may hold for them.
