For The Second Time
Punchline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I might need another cover
These seems to be so much food
And I'm used to empty cupboards
I remember when the days seemed so short
When everything was so right
And now you're gone and my most wanted
But then I woke up to nothing
And you seemed more dead than I could ever be
So when you wake up to nothing
I'll leave your life
For the second time
Be careful in this cold
This bridge might stay icy
And if I'm not there and don't hear a sound
Just like that in the night
This is burning bridge falls down
I remember when the days seemed so short
When everything was so right
And now you're gone and my most wanted
This all ends tonight
Right now
Then I woke up to nothing
And you seemed more dead than I could ever be
So when you wake up to nothing
I'll leave your life for the second time
It's all been said before
But this is my own outlook and my own curse
In years I'll laugh upon looking back
From the best to just dust on a box sealed shut
Now blow away
Punchline's song "For The Second Time" is a melancholic reflection on coming to terms with a failed relationship. The opening lines create a sense of displacement, with the singer feeling out of place in their own bed and insecure about having enough resources. This reflects their emotional state, which is likely to be a result of their current situation. They then remember when everything seemed right and their partner was there with them, making them feel special. Now that they are gone, the emptiness is overwhelming, and the singer feels they have no choice but to walk away for good.
The chorus, "Then I woke up to nothing, and you seemed more dead than I could ever be, so when you wake up to nothing, I'll leave your life for the second time," is confrontational and raw, acknowledging that sometimes the best way to end a relationship is to walk away from it completely. Lines such as "This burning bridge falls down" and "from the best to just dust on a box sealed shut" indicate a finality to the relationship, with no hope of reconciliation.
Overall, "For The Second Time" is a deeply emotional song that captures the pain of letting go of someone you once loved. It is a reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do for ourselves is to walk away from a situation that no longer serves us.
