Starter
Evergreen Terrace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my capulet, it seems, is just a step away
we walk, we walk this darkened road
I can´t see, I can´t see at all
this joke is getting older every single day
something´s come over me
no place I´d rather be
what are the chances
it´s right in front of me but still a step away
we walk, we walk this weary road
I can´t move, I can´t move at all
this joke is getting older every single day
I´ve heard quite enough
forget, forget it all
starting all over again
regret has mounted tall
over and over again
is this our final call
starting all over again
forget, forget it all
over and over
you can´t take it from me with softly spoken lies
one more mistake may end up costing you your life
The lyrics of Evergreen Terrace's song Starter seem to be about the internal struggle of someone who is seeking answers, possibly in relation to matters of the heart. The use of the metaphor "my capulet" likely refers to someone or something that the singer sees as unattainable or out of reach, much like the doomed romance of Romeo and Juliet. The repeated line "we walk this darkened road" suggests a sense of confusion or uncertainty, while the lines "I can't see, I can't see at all" and "I can't move, I can't move at all" further convey a feeling of being stuck or lost.
The chorus, with its repetition of "something's come over me" and "this joke is getting older every single day," emphasizes the singer's sense of urgency and frustration. The verses following the chorus suggest a desire to start anew and move on from past mistakes or regrets. The final lines of the song, "you can't take it from me with softly spoken lies / one more mistake may end up costing you your life," almost seem like a warning or challenge to someone who may be trying to deceive or mislead the singer.
Overall, the lyrics of Starter seem to describe a personal struggle with matters of the heart and a desire to move forward despite confusion and uncertainty. The repeated themes of walking a dark and weary road, feeling stuck or lost, and the need to forget and start over again emphasize the singer's determination to find clarity and move on.
