See You Again
The Phantom Years Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't just push it all down
And tell you that it never happened
That it never happened
See you again
I went away, away for awhile
To figure out where it went wrong
I went astray, chasing down clouds
See you again
I'm back at your place, fall at your feet
Stumble my way through the door
Of me there's no trace, you're needing nothing
It's like we were never before
I can only tell you everything
If you don't make me get out
I can only tell you everything
If you don't make me get out
I don't need you telling me again that
I just gotta get out
I don't need you telling me again that
I just gotta get out
See you again
See you again
I can't just push it all down
And tell you that it never happened
That it never happened
I can't just push it all down
And tell you that it never happened
That it never happened
The lyrics of The Phantom Years' song "See You Again" explore the complexities of a failed relationship and the struggle to move on. The opening lines, "I can't just push it, push it, push it, push it. I can't just push it all down," suggest the singer's inability to suppress their emotions and feelings about the past. The repetition emphasizes the inner turmoil they are experiencing.
The next lines, "And tell you that it never happened, that it never happened," highlight the temptation to deny the existence of the relationship and the pain it caused. This denial is likely a defense mechanism to protect oneself from the hurtful memories associated with the past.
The chorus, "See you again," conveys a yearning to reconnect with the person from the past, indicating that despite the pain, there is still a desire for reconciliation or closure. The following verses depict the singer's journey of self-discovery and coming to terms with their mistakes, as they "went away for a while" to reflect on where things went wrong and ultimately find their way back to where they belong.
The bridge expresses vulnerability and a willingness to open up, stating that they can only share everything if they are not pushed away. However, there is also a sense of frustration in the lines, "I don't need you telling me again that I just gotta get out." It conveys a resistance to external pressures and demands to move on.
The repetition of the closing lines, "I can't just push it all down and tell you that it never happened, that it never happened," reinforces the inner conflict the singer faces. Ultimately, the song reflects the internal struggle to process the past, the longing for reconciliation, and the importance of being allowed to express their true emotions.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't just push it, push it, push it, push it
I cannot simply ignore or bury my emotions and experiences
I can't just push it all down
I cannot just suppress or hide all the emotions and memories
And tell you that it never happened
And pretend that all of it never occurred
That it never happened
That all those experiences and moments never actually took place
See you again
I hope to encounter you once more
I went away, away for awhile
I distanced myself, went somewhere else for a period of time
To figure out where it went wrong
To analyze and understand the point at which things went awry
I went astray, chasing down clouds
I lost my way, pursuing futile and intangible desires
Ended up where I belong
Eventually, I found myself in the right place
I'm back at your place, fall at your feet
I have returned to your presence and surrender myself entirely
Stumble my way through the door
I clumsily navigate my way into this situation
Of me there's no trace, you're needing nothing
There is no evidence of my existence, and you require nothing from me
It's like we were never before
It feels as if our past experiences never happened or mattered
I can only tell you everything
I can only reveal and share all my thoughts and feelings with you
If you don't make me get out
As long as you don't force me to leave or distance myself
I don't need you telling me again that I just gotta get out
I don't want you reminding me once more that I should leave
See you again
I hope to encounter you once more
See you again
I hope to encounter you once more
I can't just push it all down
I cannot just suppress or hide all the emotions and memories
And tell you that it never happened
And pretend that all of it never occurred
That it never happened
That all those experiences and moments never actually took place
