Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around her you are so still it lets you down
In my way i'll come around
And run to the side and don′t lend a hand out
In my bed
The storm said
You're my pet
The snow fell
The storm said
You're my pet
The snow fell
Here′s my desire
Born in the lie
Here′s all I want
To find us alone
It's all you want
Get up and go
For I delight
In seeing the sight
In my bed
The storm said
You′re my pet
The snow fell
In my bed
The storm said
You're my pet
The snow fell
It′s all you want
Get up and go
The lyrics to Phoria's song, "Once Again", speak to a sense of helplessness and isolation in the midst of a troubled relationship. The opening lines paint a picture of someone who is wandering aimlessly, burdened by debts that they cannot escape. The next couple of lines describe the feeling of being let down by someone who is typically a source of calm - perhaps a romantic partner or close friend. The singer promises to come around in their own way, but will not go out of their way to help.
The chorus brings a slightly surreal edge to the lyrics, describing a pet-like relationship between the singer and a storm, with snow falling in their bed. It's unclear whether this is a hallucination or a metaphor for emotional turmoil, but the image is striking and unsettling. The following lines describe a desire to be alone with the person they care about, but also a sense of resignation that this may never happen. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the sense of being trapped in a difficult situation, but also finding some comfort and familiarity in it.
Overall, "Once Again" is a haunting and introspective song that uses vivid imagery to convey complex emotions. The lyrics suggest a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of disappointment and regret, but also a glimmer of hope that things can improve. The song captures the bittersweet feeling of longing for someone or something that may be out of reach.
