Once You Give In
Resisting Temptation: The Perils of Giving In
Lyrics
Here I go again
Expressing a sense of repetition or déjà vu in facing a situation once again.
Dealt in some game that I'll never win
Engaged in a futile or challenging situation with little chance of success.
But I'll always give in
Despite challenges, consistently yielding or giving in to circumstances.
Pissing up the stream and spitting in the wind
Engaging in pointless or counterproductive actions, emphasizing struggle against the odds.
Found a friend in the rain
Finding solace or companionship in difficult situations, represented by rain.
Asked me if I had any change
Encountering a question about change, possibly financial, from a companion.
I said brother, I'm just the same
Acknowledging similarity with others, possibly in facing life's challenges.
Been looking for change ever since I came
Expressing a longstanding desire for change since the beginning of one's journey.
Now I don't know where I'm going
Feeling lost or uncertain about the future.
But you know where I been
Reflecting on past experiences and acknowledging a shared history.
Burning my candle from both ends

It sure is hard getting out

Once you give in

You don't want no part of this stuff

Because it's give and it's take and I can't get enough
Describing the nature of the situation as involving both giving and taking, suggesting imbalance.
Look at all the things he does
Observing someone's actions and possibly criticizing their priorities or choices.
He ain't got time and he ain't got love
Suggesting a lack of time and love in the observed person's life, possibly due to their pursuits.
Don't know where he's going
Expressing uncertainty about the observed person's future.
But you know where he's been
Reiterating the theme of burning the candle from both ends in the observed person's life.
Burning his candle from both ends

It sure is hard getting out
Reiterating the challenging nature of escaping once someone gives in to difficulties.
Once you give in
Emphasizing the enduring difficulty of breaking free from a challenging situation.
Yes it sure is hard getting out
Confirming the persistent challenge of escaping once someone succumbs to difficulties.
Once you give in
