Once More

TEMIC's song 'Once More' delves into themes of uncertainty, self-discovery, and the struggle to overcome past sorrows. The lyrics reflect a journey of introspection, where the protagonist acknowledges the years spent in sorrow and the need to move beyond them. The repeated lines 'We threw 'em away' and 'You know it's true' emphasize the recognition of wasted time and the desire to let go of past regrets.

The song also explores the idea of freeing oneself from the hollow parts of the past to open new possibilities. The imagery of 'passages will open to brand-new worlds' suggests that by confronting and releasing past pain, one can find new opportunities and directions in life. This is further reinforced by the lines 'They're showing the way' and 'They're gleaming through,' indicating a sense of hope and guidance emerging from within.

A significant part of the song is the protagonist's internal struggle with self-identity and purpose. The lyrics 'I never really had a glance of who I was beneath the scars' and 'I wonder if I have a reason to reach for the stars' highlight the uncertainty and doubt that often accompany personal growth. Despite this, the resolve to 'try once more' signifies a determination to keep pushing forward, even without a clear reason or guarantee of success. The song ultimately conveys a message of resilience and the importance of continuing to strive for a better future, even when the path is uncertain.
