Here It Comes Again

KoRn's 'Here It Comes Again' is a raw and intense exploration of the cyclical nature of personal struggles and mental anguish. The song opens with a powerful depiction of the onset of pain and confusion, with the lyrics 'Pounding, it starts again / Hurting, oh, where do I begin?' This sets the tone for a narrative that delves deep into the recurring battles faced by the protagonist. The use of visceral language like 'screaming' and 'hurting' paints a vivid picture of the internal chaos and the desperate hope for an end to the suffering.

The chorus, with its repeated lines 'Really fucked up again / I can't fucking give in / Can't I ever win,' captures the essence of the song's theme: the relentless fight against one's own demons. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the feeling of being trapped in a never-ending cycle of failure and frustration. Despite the overwhelming sense of defeat, there is a glimmer of resilience in the lines 'I feel that I can fight,' suggesting a persistent, albeit weary, determination to overcome the odds.

In the bridge, the lyrics 'Oh, I must hold on / Oh, I won't be gone' reflect a moment of resolve, a refusal to succumb to the darkness. However, this is immediately followed by questions of self-doubt, 'Why I can't hold on? / Why I can't be gone?' This juxtaposition highlights the constant internal conflict and the struggle to maintain hope in the face of adversity. The song's structure, with its cyclical return to the phrase 'Here it comes again,' mirrors the repetitive nature of the protagonist's struggles, making it a poignant and relatable anthem for anyone who has faced similar battles.
