Same Mistake Twice
311 · Evolver
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
The more you scream in your denial
the more you turn to your desire
na na na na...
After it's on fire, you'll be the end
na na na na...
Once was a curse gone bad I will admit,
same all the day
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
I'll steal a ??? while you're whining
and in a trap of your designing
Don't be so sure
Nobody knows where you were last
na na na na...
what did I think of, to find a true friend?
same all the day
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life...your life...
another detour just goes by
falling into the abyss that has become your life
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
All of your life
It's another thing to make it all of your life
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
The more you scream in your denial
the more you turn to your desire
na na na na...
After it's on fire, you'll be the end
na na na na...
Once was a curse gone bad I will admit,
same all the day
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
I'll steal a ??? while you're whining
and in a trap of your designing
Don't be so sure
Nobody knows where you were last
na na na na...
what did I think of, to find a true friend?
same all the day
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life...your life...
another detour just goes by
falling into the abyss that has become your life
It's one thing to make the same mistake twice
It's another thing to make it all of your life
All of your life
Same Mistake Twice
From the 1993 album Evolver, 'Same Mistake Twice' stands as a defining track in the career of American rock band 311. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of hard rock and hip-hop influences, featuring vocalist Mike Shinoda's distinctive delivery over a driving, guitar-heavy arrangement. Released during the band's formative years, the recording captures the raw energy and lyrical intensity that would characterize their subsequent discography. As a staple of their catalog, the track has become a recognizable element of 311's public musical identity, reflecting the late 90s alternative rock landscape while establishing a foundation for their long-term impact on the genre.
