Born Again
X-Way Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They told us time was the same
They told we were the ones to blame
I don't believe those lies
Please give me back my smile
For one last time and night
Let me hold you in the light

Time passes and we're not the same
Youth passes by and I feel lame
The world expects you to
Grow forever young too
Indeed we'll become the same
In the name of this big game

And how is it to be born again
To be again where we began
When we first met, my friend.

Like when we were only friends
When love wasn't real
When at first glance we saw
A light shinin' through

We need to start anew
From the ashes we'll be born again
Not dull as the world
We'll be something else
We'll start a new journey
Looking for what we were

And how is it to be born again




To be again where we began
When we first met, my friend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of X-Way's song Born Again describe the experience of wanting to go back to a time when things were simpler and better. The artist acknowledges that time passes, and people change, and sometimes that change can make you feel lost and incomplete. The song begins with the artist discussing how someone - society, perhaps - told them that time was constant and that they were the ones to blame for their dissatisfaction with life. However, the artist rejects those lies and pleads for their smile back one last time before they move on.


Then the song moves into a discussion of how youth inevitably fades away, and the world expects people to "grow forever young," but that's impossible. Eventually, we all become the same, and it's all part of a "big game." But the artist is not content with simply accepting this, they want to be born again – to go back to a time before the world and its expectations took over. They long for a simpler time when they first met their friend, before love complicated things, and before they had to navigate the complexities of the world.


The artist believes that in order to move on, they need to start fresh, to be reborn from the ashes of their past. They want to be something other than the monotony of the world's expectations, and they're ready to start a new journey to find what they once were. The chorus repeats the idea of being born again, the longing to return to a simpler time when everything was new and exciting.


Overall, X-Way's song Born Again is a reflection on the passage of time and the inevitability of change. It's a longing for the past, a desire to start anew and reclaim the innocence and wonder of youth.
