Lament Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Black Marlin

I agree with LuvMartinGore and lyricist1111 however, when I first got into this song my interpretation was slightly different.

Agreed it could be reconciling with the same person who treated you badly. It could also mean falling for a different person and foreseeing the same sequence of events and end result happening again.

My own experience biases my interpretation (obviously). After being with my first wife, divorcing then being single to then fall in love and resisting believing it would end badly eventually.
