Song meaning of Again Again by Lady Gaga

"Again Again" by Lady Gaga, as interpreted by Germ, delves into the complexities of a love triangle and the desire for a forbidden connection. The song opens with the narrator expressing frustration towards someone who has audaciously entered their life while they are still in a relationship. The lyrics "You gotta a lot, a lot of nerve / Comin' here when I'm still with him / And I can't have you / It isn't fair" convey a sense of conflict and the internal struggle faced by the narrator.

The song then shifts to the narrator's longing for this new person, as they mention their upcoming birthday and how their one wish would be to have this individual by their side. Lady Gaga's lyrics "My birthday's comin', and if I had one wish / Yeah, you'd be it" highlight the intense desire and infatuation the narrator feels towards this person.

In the pre-chorus, the narrator describes the intoxicating effect this person has on them, losing themselves in their presence. The line "When you're 'round, I lose myself inside your mouth" suggests a passionate and all-consuming connection. The mention of the person's unique brown eyes further emphasizes their distinctiveness and allure.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Again and again" to emphasize the narrator's longing and the desire for this connection to continue indefinitely. The repetition of "Never stop" further emphasizes the intensity and urgency of their feelings.

In the second verse, the narrator reflects on their current relationship, expressing dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfillment. The lyrics "He never really saw me or waited / When we were hookin' up, yeah, he'd a never... last" suggest a lack of emotional depth and a fleeting nature to their current relationship. The narrator contrasts this with the new person, who seems to understand them on a deeper level. The line "You said that you knew my eyes changed from kinda green to kinda blue" implies a level of emotional insight and connection that is absent in their current relationship.

The song concludes with the narrator contemplating the possibility of leaving their current partner for this new person. The lyrics "They tell me / If I leave him, baby, would you be there? / 'Cause maybe, you could be m-m-mine all the t-t-time" convey a sense of uncertainty and hope, as they question whether this new person would be there for them if they were to make the difficult decision to end their current relationship.

Overall, "Again Again" explores the complexities of desire, longing, and the internal conflict that arises when faced with a forbidden connection. Lady Gaga's lyrics, combined with Germ's interpretation, paint a vivid picture of the narrator's emotional journey and the intense desire for a love that seems just out of reach.
