I'll Do It Again
Redemption Echoes: Navigating Life's Mistakes in 'I'll Do It Again'
Lyrics
Can you run away from the ruin
Reflecting on escaping the consequences or aftermath of destructive actions
You've caused, I know I can't
Acknowledging responsibility for causing ruin and realizing inability to escape it
It stays and it sticks to stewin'
Acknowledging that the impact of one's actions persists and is difficult to shake off
When you R.I.P. the rules of men
Referencing violation of societal rules, potentially leading to spiritual consequences
I know I'll do it again
Expressing a recognition of a recurring pattern of destructive behavior
I'll do it again
-I'll do it again
-I'll do it again
-But wait
Pause to consider the possibility of change or redemption
I can make amends
Expressing a desire for forgiveness and a chance to make amends
I can be redeemed
-Give me another chance
-Now
Indicating a readiness for change or improvement
It latches on when the laughter
Describing a tendency to be influenced by positive moments and forget past mistakes
Is enough to live again
-When I'm distracted from the disaster
-And I forget I am condemned
-And then i do it again
Reiterating the likelihood of repeating past destructive actions
I'll do it again
-I'll do it again
-I'll do it again
-But wait
Pause to consider the possibility of change or redemption (repeated)
I can change my stance
Expressing determination to change and see things through to completion
I can see this through
-Give me another chance
-I can act like this was all done to me
Acknowledging personal responsibility for past mistakes and losses
But it's me that's done the doing
-My life had been served up on a silver plate
-But this loser's gone and done his losing
-I wander in and out of all the folk I know
Describing a detached attitude towards the pain caused to others
Never knowing the hurt I've caused
-Because I don't really know 'bout people
-I can't be bothered by broken hearts
-I can't be bothered by broken hearts
Repetition emphasizing indifference to broken hearts
No
Asserting a lack of concern for emotional consequences
But I can't feel damned forever
Expressing a desire to move past feeling damned or condemned
The point is that I tried
Emphasizing the effort made to change or improve
That I'm only a partial monster
Claiming to be only partially monstrous and valuing personal pride
And I must protect my pride
Stating the need to protect one's pride before repeating destructive actions
Before I do it again
Reiterating the likelihood of repeating past destructive actions
I'll probably do it again
-I'll do it again
-I'll do it again
-But wait
Pause to consider the possibility of change or redemption (repeated)
I can make amends
Expressing a desire for forgiveness and a chance to make amends (repeated)
I can be redeemed
-Give me another chance
-I said wait
Expressing determination to change and see things through to completion (repeated)
I can change my stance
-I can see this through
-Give me another chance
-Now
Indicating readiness for immediate change or improvement
