Again & Again

Melody Chubak's song 'Again & Again' delves into the themes of connection, change, and the cyclical nature of life. The opening lines, 'Lie down on ground / To talk to bright sky,' evoke a sense of grounding and openness to the universe, suggesting a moment of introspection and connection with something greater. The imagery of a shooting star dashing through the sky symbolizes fleeting moments of beauty and the transient nature of life, while the tears and blurred eyes indicate an emotional response, perhaps to the beauty or the ephemerality of these moments.

The lyrics 'Never turn back / Like a playful mind of a child / We are changing' highlight the inevitability of change and the importance of embracing it with a childlike sense of wonder and playfulness. This perspective encourages a forward-looking attitude, suggesting that change is not something to fear but to welcome. The metaphor of 'invisible wings' implies that we have the potential to soar and transform, even if the means to do so are not always visible or tangible.

The song also touches on the theme of connection in the lines 'Your temperature is a little below normal / But we can feel warm / In a secret terminal.' This suggests that even when things are not perfect or 'normal,' there is a warmth and connection that can be found in shared, secret spaces. The recurring phrase 'Hello goodbye / Again and again' at the ticket gate in the crowd underscores the cyclical nature of meetings and partings, emphasizing that these moments are a constant in life. The final lines, 'See into the future / With a telescope / Stay here,' juxtapose the desire to look ahead with the importance of being present, encapsulating the song's message of balancing forward momentum with present awareness.
