Once Again
Spin Master A-1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Until they're old and gray
But, you're not like the rest
You'll never be the same
It's how I fell in love
First time I saw your face
Mmm
Love you from dusk to dawn
And I won't get no rest
It was you all along
Within your wings
We're dancing slow
Just take my hand
And don't let go
So, once again
Once again
You're in my head
You're in my head
My head again today
Still in my head
Still in my head
So won't you stay
Won't you stay
Just stay with me today
Sometimes you feel alone
Between the grief and shame
Been hours on the phone
Let me tell you all the ways
Bout how I fall in love
Every time I see your face
Til the last beat in my chest
Love you from dusk to dawn
And I won't get no rest
It was you all along
Within your wings
We're dancing slow
Just take my hand
And don't let go
So, once again
Once again
You're in my head
You're in my head
My head again today
Still in my head
Still in my head
So won't you stay
Won't you stay
Just stay with me today
The song "Once Again" by Spin Master A-1 is about a woman called Anna who is stuck in a difficult situation. She wakes up to go to work and puts on a nice face despite the fact that she is struggling to pay her debts. The sky is bitter and it seems like there is no hope outside of the iron bars that she feels trapped behind. She looks at herself in the mirror and realizes that she has hit rock bottom and is becoming a shadow of herself.
The lyrics then go on to describe how Anna becomes a puppet for the people who control her life. She is forced to forget her name and her desires and is made to walk the catwalk to conceal her voice and thoughts under her dress. She feels helpless and isolated, but knows she must continue to do what she is told in order to protect her family. The lights go up for the parade and once again she is handed over to the snakes to suffocate her day by day. However, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the lyrics "but one day they'll forget to lock the cage", suggesting that Anna will one day be free from her chains.

Hey, Wake up Anna
Open your eyes and prepare for the day
It's Time to work again
You have responsibilities to fulfill
Put on a nice face
Pretend like everything's okay
You have to pay your debts
You owe people something
There's no hope outside this iron bars
You feel trapped and hopeless
This bitter sky has surrendered every star
The world seems bleak and joyless
your reflection in the mirror tells you that you've hit rock bottom
You realize how far you've fallen
you’re becoming a faint shadow of yourself
You're losing your sense of identity
once again
You've been in this situation before
the lights go up for the parade
Society expects you to perform a certain way
forget your name
Abandon your true self
to become a puppet once again
Allow others to control you
it’s your turn, step on the catwalk
It's time for you to play your part
conceal your voice and your desires beneath your dress
Hide who you really are
seems too late to stop this train
You feel like you're stuck in this situation
you met him at the fair last summer
You fell in love with someone
he stole your heart away
You fell deeply in love
you left your hometown
You made a big change to be with him
to go west with your man
You went on an adventure together
in the car he spoke about a job
He promised you a better future
“just something easy to help us build our home”
He said it would be simple and straightforward
now they’re up to get your family if you don’t do as they tell you
Someone is threatening your loved ones
took your passport as they do with every prey
They took away your freedom
you’re ashamed and isolated, you feel guilty and defenceless
You feel powerless and alone
but there has to be a way to end this pain
You hold onto hope for a better future
break this chains
You want to be free from this situation
once again you are handed over to the snakes
You're being manipulated by others
to steal your breath, to suffocate you day by day
They're draining the life out of you
fake a smile, stare at the spotlight
Pretend like everything's okay in front of others
ignore your thoughts and your opinions and just say yes
You're not allowed to express yourself
seems too late to pull the brake
It feels impossible to escape this situation
but one Day they'll forget to lock the cage
There is hope for freedom in the future
