See You Again
The Great Leslie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then let me go
Our memories are just a waist
And they pain my soul
My misery lies in the place
Of your absent glow
But I know I deserve a taste
Of what you reap you sow
I know I deserve a taste
Of what you reap you sow
Ah, ah muma, that's alright
Ah, ah drama, that's alright
Hurt me once, can't hurt me twice
Ah, ah muma, that's alright
Embarrass me in front of everyone
So that I feel deterred
And bruise me with your fists, I don't care
It's what you said that hurts
And put a price on my love
But that price is ridden with a curse
Yet I know I deserve a taste
Of something that is worse
I know I deserve a taste
Of something that is worse
Of something that is worse
I know I deserve a taste
Of something that is worse
Of something that is worse
Ah, ah muma, that's alright
Ah, ah drama, that's alright
Hurt me once, can't hurt me twice
Ah, ah muma, that's alright
I like to think
That good is not really real
That bad is not really real
That we're just here to feel
I like to think
That good is not really real
That bad is not really real
That we're just here to feel
Ah, ah muma, that's alright
Ah, ah drama, that's alright
Hurt me once, can't hurt me twice
Ah, ah muma, that's alright
The lyrics of The Great Leslie's song "See You Again" depict a tumultuous relationship where one person is being mistreated yet remains hopeful for some form of redemption or justice. The song describes a situation where the singer is being deceived and discarded by their partner, with memories that linger and cause pain. Despite feeling deserving of something better, they endure the absence of love and settle for the consequences of their partner's actions. There is a recognition of the imbalance in the relationship, with the singer acknowledging that they should receive a taste of what their partner has sown.
The chorus repeats the words "Ah, ah muma, that's alright" and "Ah, ah drama, that's alright" as a way of internalizing and accepting the situation. It suggests a sense of resignation and the idea that the mistreatment endured by the singer cannot be repeated or worsened because there is resilience in their spirit.
Overall, the song explores themes of self-worth, the complexities of love, and the hope for resolution or retribution within a troubled relationship. It reflects the human tendency to endure pain and cling to hope, even when faced with mistreatment.

You masquerade in my embrace
You pretend to show affection towards me
And then let me go
But then you abandon me
Our memories are just a waist
The moments we shared are meaningless
And they pain my soul
Yet they deeply hurt me
My misery lies in the place
My suffering stems from
Of your absent glow
Your lack of affection
But I know I deserve a taste
But I believe I should experience
Of what you reap you sow
The consequences of your actions
Ah, ah muma, that's alright
Oh, it's okay
Ah, ah drama, that's alright
Oh, it's okay to have conflicts
Hurt me once, can't hurt me twice
If you've hurt me before, you can't hurt me again
Embarrass me in front of everyone
Publicly humiliate me
So that I feel deterred
To make me lose my confidence
And bruise me with your fists, I don't care
Even physical harm from you doesn't bother me
It's what you said that hurts
It's your hurtful words that affect me
And put a price on my love
You devalue my love
But that price is ridden with a curse
But that devaluation comes with negative consequences
I know I deserve a taste
I am convinced I should experience
Of something that is worse
Something even more unpleasant
I like to think
I prefer to believe
That good is not really real
That happiness is merely an illusion
That bad is not really real
That suffering is not truly substantial
That we're just here to feel
That our existence is solely about experiencing emotions
