This Again
Navigating the Unknown: Old Sea Brigade's 'This Again' Meaning
Lyrics
Go and let things fall
Encouragement to allow events to unfold naturally
If they’re going to
Accepting the outcome, regardless of the direction it takes
Slipping through my hands
Things slipping away beyond control
They weren’t built for sand
Referring to fragile things not meant for harsh environments
What if we don’t float
Concern about not succeeding or surviving
What if we don’t
Ruminating on the possibility of failure
What if we don’t know
Uncertainty or lack of knowledge about a situation
What if we don’t
Reiteration of uncertainty or lack of knowledge
Ever mention this again
Request or insistence to avoid discussing a topic further
When we lay on an island
Reflecting on a past moment of intimacy or connection
How do we ever change
Questioning the possibility of personal growth or transformation
We’ve weathered these storms
Enduring difficult times repeatedly
A hundred times before
Having faced challenges numerous times
What if they don’t come
Expressing doubt about someone or something showing up or arriving
What if they don’t
Reiteration of doubt about someone or something arriving
What if we don’t swim
Questioning the ability to navigate through difficulties
What if we don’t
Reiteration of uncertainty about navigating through difficulties
Ever mention this again
Request or insistence to avoid revisiting a subject
Fair isle you’re speaking your truth
A location/personification speaking honestly or authentically
You’re tired and you’re keeping me blue
Feeling emotionally drained or affected by the truth
Throw me a lifeline
Asking for help or support
Or just cut me loose
Seeking either assistance or release from a situation
