Been Here Once Before
Navigating Shadows: Echoes of Redemption in 'Been Here Once Before'
Lyrics
You got you back up against the wall
You are in a difficult situation with limited options.
Now you know that after all
After considering everything, you now realize.
When you make mistakes like that
Mistakes like the one you made have consequences.
There´s no more turning back
There's no way to undo or reverse what has happened.
Now we've gone and we lost our head
Things have escalated, and it's better to remain passive.
You´re better off just playing dead
Playing dead or avoiding conflict is a better option.
Once you´re wearing that black hat
Wearing a metaphorical "black hat" signifies a negative role.
There´s no point in turning back
There's no benefit in trying to reverse the negative situation.
I know, I know, I know
Acknowledgment of past experiences and mistakes.
We've been here once before
Reiterating that the current situation has occurred before.
I know, I know, I know
Expressing certainty about the repetition of past events.
We've been here once before
Confirming the familiarity of the current predicament.
All you know is you need to win
Emphasizing the desire or necessity to succeed.
Should you go when your call comes in?
Contemplating whether to act when an opportunity arises.
Once you see all the blood that flows
Once the consequences of actions are apparent, reluctance sets in.
I don't think you´ll be wanting more
Experiencing a negative outcome reduces the desire for more.
Now I thought that was all in the past
Reflecting on the belief that difficulties were in the past.
And that peace would come at last
Expecting peace after overcoming previous challenges.
Once again we are at war
Despite expectations, conflict has resurfaced.
Yes I know we've been here before
Acknowledging the repetition of a familiar scenario.
I know, I know, I know
Reaffirming the recognition of a repeated situation.
We've been here once before
Stating the recurrence of the current circumstance.
I know, I know, I know
Expressing certainty about the repetition of past events.
We've been here once before
Confirming the familiarity of the current predicament.
And I don't think you´ll be wanting more
Doubting the desire for additional negative experiences.
We've been here once before
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a repeated situation.
We've been here that´s for sure
Acknowledging the certainty of having been in this situation.
And I don't think you´ll be wanting more
Doubting the desire for additional negative experiences.
We've been here once before
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a repeated situation.
We've been here that´s for sure
Acknowledging the certainty of having been in this situation.
