I Could Be Again Lyrics

Through growing gloom I see the flicker of treason
Dancing on the picture of what might have been
This minute will last a day these days will last for years
And those years that take ten lifetimes will pass without a reason

To be again
I could be again
To be again
I could be again

Rising up the notion of rejuvenation
Oh yes I could be again
I could be again
Rising up I could be again

Taking form a complete transformation
Just us the cameras and those wonderful people out there in the dark
This minute will last a day these days will last for years
And those years that take ten lifetimes
well I won't let disappear

To be again
I could be again
To be again
I could be again

Growing in the dark
From such a tiny spark
It's me again
I could be again

I could be again
I could be again
I could be again
It's me again
I could be again
I could be again
I could be again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for I Could Be Again lyrics by Siouxsie and the Banshees

by Earthling on Fire

The quote "those wonderful people out there in the dark" makes it clear that the song is inspired by the movie Sunset Boulevard, where a has-been actress is desperate to be again.
