My Deja Vu
Ring of Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"My Deja vu
I still remember you
My dream come true
A feeling so strong

My Deja vu
There is no one like you
What can I do
Now that you're gone

There is no time
There is no space
In the land of nevermore
The midnite sky goes on forever
A sea without a shore

Strange memories
Calling to me
Speaking in my own words
I start to remember, the feeling returns

There is a princess behind a golden door
It's so familiar, like I've been here before

I'll follow my dream
It's my destiny to bring you back with me

My Deja vu
I still remember you
My dream come true
A feeling so strong

My Deja vu
There is no one like you
What can I do
Now that you're gone

Just out of reach
Like sand on the beach
The waves keep reaching for more
Eternal flame, in stormy weather
Keeps burning like before

Out of the blue
Visions of you
Come crashing into my brain
So hard to recover, it drives me insane

There is a princess behind a golden door
I know the feeling, like I've been here before

I'll follow my dream
It's my fantasy to bring you back with me

My Deja vu
I still remember you
My dream come true
A feeling so strong

My Deja vu
There is no one like you
What can I do
Now that you're gone

I'll follow my dream
It's my fantasy to bring you back with me

My Deja vu
I still remember you
My dream come true
A feeling so strong

My Deja vu
There is no one like you
What can I do
Now that you're gone

My Deja vu
I still remember you
My dream come true
A feeling so strong

My Deja vu
There is no one like you
What can I do




Now that you're gone
(Oooh no!)"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ring of Fire's song, My Deja Vu, seem to be exploring the theme of nostalgia and the desire to relive past memories. The song speaks about the singer's vivid recollection of someone from the past who they had an intense emotional connection with. The references to "no time" and "no space" suggest that the memories and emotions associated with this person transcend time and are still very present in the singer's mind. Furthermore, the allusion to a "princess behind a golden door" may symbolize the singer's desire to reclaim something or someone that is precious to them.


The lyrics of the song are tinged with a sense of melancholy and longing for something that is no longer attainable. This is evident in the lines "What can I do/Now that you're gone" and "Just out of reach/Like sand on the beach". The repetition of the chorus "My Deja Vu" serves as a reminder of the persistence of memories and emotions, and how they can haunt and inspire us in equal measure.
