Again
Trampled By Turtles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living like a window
Stuck wide open
Take it all in
But don't let it burn you out
I know you have your doubts
But just forget them now

Will I see you
Will I see you
Will I see you
Again

Will I see you
Will I see you
Will I see you
Again

Dreaming doesn't make much
Sense anymore
All the demons
They're howling at your door
Still you beg for more
Ain't it over yet

Will I see you
Will I see you
Will I see you
Again

Will I see you
Will I see you




Will I see you
Again

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song "Living like a window, stuck wide open, take it all in but don't let it burn you out" evoke an image of someone who is feeling exposed and vulnerable, but is also receptive to the world around them. The metaphor of the window suggests that this person is open to experiences and emotions, but also implies that they may be overwhelmed or exposed to too much. The line "don't let it burn you out" suggests a need for balance and self-care in the face of such exposure. The following lines, "I know you have your doubts, but just forget them now," could be interpreted as an encouragement to this person to overcome their anxiety and embrace the present moment.


The chorus, with its repetition of the question "will I see you again," adds another layer of meaning to the song. It suggests that this window-like person may be transient or uncertain, perhaps coming in and out of the singer's life. The repetition of the question also emphasizes a sense of longing or uncertainty, as the singer seems to be searching for reassurance that they will indeed see this person again.


The second verse switches gears a bit, with the lines "dreaming doesn't make much sense anymore, all the demons they're howling at your door." This suggests a shift in mood, from the openness and vulnerability of the first verse to a darker, more fearful tone. The lines "still you beg for more, ain't it over yet" could be interpreted as either the singer urging the person to stop seeking out pain or difficulty, or the singer expressing frustration at their own inability to help. Overall, the song seems to be a meditation on the fleeting nature of human connection and the need for balance in the face of life's challenges.
