Discover the story of the song > Lesson Learnt – Aaron Taylor

The protagonist sings about how he keeps making the same mistake over and over again. He says that he should have learned his lesson by now but he always finds himself in the same situation. He compares this to swimming, saying that if you don't learn how to swim, you'll sink and drown. He admits that it's his own fault for playing with fire, meaning getting involved in something dangerous, and that he will burn because of it. He wonders if it's his fault for ignoring the advice he's been given before and if he'd rather not understand certain things. In the end, he asks someone to teach him the lesson so that he doesn't make the same mistake again.
