In a profound statement of experience, San Sebastian's song "Again and Again" boldly proclaim that they would bear the same pain of heartbreak over and over in order to savor the good in a relationship. With lyrics that explain a hurt like drowning, the speaker admits that while the pain of a breakup is nearly unbearable, it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. The line, "I'm burning in the flame that is you and I" paints a beautiful bitter-sweet image through positive connotations of light and warmth, as well as negatives of suffering. It feels impossible to let go of a relationship, even when it causes you pain, and this impactful song captures the situation with powerful imagery and lyrics that will make you think.
A dance pop sound of fluidity will invigorate you with powerful vocals and a moving, upbeat sound. Through the verse, the singing feels like a nostalgic narrative, slow in contrast to the rhythm of the instrumentals, before propelling listeners into the heavy pre-chorus lyrics that ramp up the pace. Sebastian's high vocals feel like a heartfelt confession through the chorus, and the electronic rhythm of the instrumentals intoxicate the tune with a feeling of excitement. Percussion and fast-paced synth chords give the track a rapid sense of progression. This electrifying song will leave you mystified, emulating the lyric's cyclical patterns in its energizing rhythm.
