Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once again I open up my arms and let you do your healing
Once again you text my phone and get me right back in my feelings
Once again you dial my number and tell me you feeling distant
I been down this road to many times, switch positions
I been chasing you so long at this point it ain't reminiscing
Every time I say your name my brother telling me I'm tripping
I'm tryna see pass you but my vision is not the issue
I been tryna stay patient and give me soul to you
I don't know what to do to tell you the truth
Ima give it to you
Ima give you the world
Ima give it to you
Ima give you pearls
Red roses just for you
I'll do that for you boo
Once again I'm on the edge
I need your love
Once again I comfort you and listen to you when you venting
Once again I open up my arms and let you do your healing
Once again you text my phone and get me right back in my feelings
Once again you dial my number and tell me you feeling distant
I been down this road to many times, switch positions
I been chasing you so long at this point it ain't reminiscing
Every time I say your name my brother telling me I'm tripping
I'm tryna see pass you but my vision is not the issue
Once again I comfort you and listen to you when you venting
Once again I open up my arms and let you do your healing
Once again you text my phone and get me right back in my feelings
Once again you dial my number and tell me you feeling distant
I been down this road to many times, switch positions
I been chasing you so long at this point it ain't reminiscing
Every time I say your name my brother telling me I'm tripping
I'm tryna see pass you but my vision is not the issue
The lyrics to X-ING's song "Once Again" depict a cycle of emotional connection and distance in a relationship. The singer acknowledges that they have gone down this road multiple times, constantly switching positions and chasing after the other person. They express a sense of frustration and confusion, as their friends and family perceive their attachment to be excessive and possibly irrational. The singer is trying to see beyond the person's influence and move on, but they find it difficult because their feelings and emotions are still entangled.
The repetition of phrases like "once again" emphasizes the recurring nature of the situation, highlighting the singer's continuous willingness to be there for the other person, despite the pain and uncertainty it brings. They offer comfort, open arms, and a listening ear each time the other person vents and needs healing. However, the text messages and phone calls from the person then trigger the singer's emotions once again, pulling them back into their feelings. The singer's inner conflict is evident in lines such as "I been tryna stay patient and give my soul to you" and "I'm tryna see pass you but my vision is not the issue." They are torn between wanting to move on and still being deeply attached and affected by the person.
Overall, "Once Again" captures the ambivalence and complexities of a relationship that keeps repeating patterns, where one person consistently seeks comfort and healing from the other while simultaneously creating distance and confusion.
