Lyrics
Once, once is really something twice
Emphasizes the significance of a single occurrence.
It's just a tease for a little more
Repetitive actions build anticipation for more.
One more time I've gotta ask you
Expressing the need to communicate something.
Come over here cause I got something I'd like to say
Asking someone to come closer for an important message.
Once, once is real easy then
Highlighting the ease of a single action.
Twice, your just begging for a little more
Repeated action intensifies desire for more.
One more time I've gotta ask you, come over here
Reiterating the request for someone to come closer.
'cause I've got something I've gotta say
Implying a pressing need to express something.
It may seem easy for you to penetrate what you
Perceiving someone's ease in penetrating denial.
Intend to deny, but when it comes back around
Suggesting that negative actions draw attention.
Is death the only way to get attention?
Raising a question about attention-seeking through death.
Once, once is real early but twice came back
Early experiences contrasted with subsequent, harder ones.
And it got a little rough,
Describing a situation turning difficult or harsh.
And there I stand in the middle, and I was
Being alone in the midst of adversity.
By myself like before,
Reflecting on solitude similar to past experiences.
Yeah once, once is real conniving, it's easy now,
Characterizing conniving behavior as easy.
When your conniving with me.
Describing connivance when cooperating with someone.
You step in my way, well now I have a little more to say.
Responding with more to say when hindered.
It may seem easy for you to recognize
Noticing ease in recognizing what's intended to be ignored.
What you intend to ignore, but when it cuts back round,
Consequences when negligence returns.
Well death is a sick way for attention
Commenting on the extreme act of seeking attention.
I think there's a little more to be said.
Suggesting there's more to express or understand.
They cut the cord, it cuts everything that's living in me,
Metaphorically addressing a drastic disconnection.
Well it all dies anyway
Highlighting the inevitability of everything ending.
I thought that that might disappear but you penetrate
Perceiving an attempt to deny something persistent.
The will to deny and I'm standing in the dark all over again,
Being stuck in darkness due to repeated circumstances.
Oh lie on me, that's all I want is you to lie on me,
Desiring honesty or emotional closeness.
Why did I see the birds an the sidewalk today,
Noticing natural occurrences despite personal turmoil.
Split open inside and why do I hear the birds when they're
Hearing sounds associated with distress while dealing with personal struggles.
Squawking over my head, don't let me down
Requesting not to be disappointed or let down.
Don't come down on me,
Asking not to be judged or condemned.
'cause I just want to know, I need just a little
Expressing a need for more time to clarify oneself.
More time to explain myself.
Highlighting the ease of an initial action.
Once, once is real easy, then twice,
Repetition leading to an intensified desire for more.

One more time I've gotta ask you,
Repeating the call for someone to come closer.
Come over here, sit down, I've got somethin'
Inviting someone to sit down for a conversation.
That's just begging to get out
Expressing a strong desire to express something.
Once, once is real conniving,
Characterizing conniving behavior as real.
And twice, you're just begging for a little more
Desire for more when conniving with someone.
One more time, I'm gonna need you, I can tell
Expressing the need for someone's presence.
It may seem easy for you to penetrate
Recognizing ease in penetrating intentional ignorance.
Your will to ignore, but when it cuts back round
Consequences when neglect returns.
Death is the sickest way for attention.
Describing extreme attention-seeking through death.
