Think Again
Venice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It may sound funny, but know it's true
I hope you get it, before I'm through, I hope you do
I miss the strawman, and dottie two
I've heard the lyin', the tinman's blue
I've seen the witches, both good and bad, I'm glad I had
I held the rabbit, the rabbit died
Talked to the preacher, the preacher lied
Cried for my father
And so please don't talk about life to me
I've seen more than most people my age have seen
And there ain't no rules on how it's gotta be
Think again
Oh and please don't talk about love to me
'Cause I've given love and I've received
And you know I'm gonna love just who I please
Think again
I crossed an ocean and wrote this song
A million people, but I can't find one
I loved Katrina, but now she's gone, gone to my father
This here's a story, I sing for you
It may sound funny, but know it's true
I hope you get it, before I'm through, I hope you do
(Chorus)
In "Think Again," Venice tells a personal story of experiences and lessons learned. The song speaks to the painful and often complicated aspects of life, and how no one person's journey is the same. Venice uses colorful imagery and references to classic fairy tales and fables to illustrate the different places life has taken them. The opening lines of the song sets the stage for Venice's storytelling style, emphasizing the importance of listening closely to the wisdom and lessons that are passed down through generations.
The lyrics become more introspective as the song progresses, delving into themes of love, heartbreak, and loss. Venice's references to Katrina and her father reveal the deeper emotional impact of their experiences. The chorus is a call to reflect on one's own experiences and to not take life or love for granted. Ultimately, Venice's message is an invitation to think more deeply and to embrace the complexities of one's own personal journey.
