Waltz for Koop
Koop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're always on the run, away from the sun
And we've only just begun
You say we've overcome, nothing is wrong
You say our job is done, the battle is won
But we've only just begun
You say our job is done, the battle is won
But we've only just begun
The lyrics to Koop's "Waltz for Koop" invite listeners to pause and reflect on the journey of life. The opening lines acknowledge how elusive peace of mind can be, as we are constantly running away from the sun, a metaphor for life's challenges and struggles. However, despite this constant search, the singer notes that "we've only just begun," hinting at an optimistic outlook and an understanding that every journey has a beginning.
The song takes a darker turn in the second verse, with the singer challenging someone who claims they have already overcome life's challenges, insisting that nothing is wrong and the battle is won. The singer begs to differ, insisting, "we've only just begun" and implying that there is still much to do and overcome, both personally and collectively.
