It's getting lost into the sea
I grew so close to all the thoughts I had to leave forever
I left the chill and voice of screams and kids and ran for shelter
You know I won't say sorry
You know I won't say sorry
The pain has a bad reaction
A blend of fear and passion
You know what it's like to believe
It makes me wanna scream
I see a glow from far away
A faint reflection on the sea
I left some words quite far from here to be a short reminder
I laid them out in stone in case they need to last forever
You know I won't say sorry
You know I won't say sorry
The pain has a bad reaction
A blend of fear and passion
You know what it's like to believe
It makes me wanna scream
I see the stars, they're in your eyes
A playful kiss, can you tell I'm excited?
A fast escape in the nick of time
If you lost your wish, can I help you find it?
I'm on my knee, just one to start
A fresh new start, don't be undecided
If love's a word, that you say
Then say it, I will listen
If love's a word, that you say
Then say it, I will listen
If love's a word, that you say
Then say it, I will listen
If love's a word, that you say
Then say it, I will listen
If love's a word, that you say
Then say it, I will listen
If love's a word, that you say
Then say it, I will listen (I will listen)

It's getting lost into the sea
I grew so close to all the thoughts I had, to leave forever
I left the chill and voice, the screams in kids, and ran for shelter
You know I won't say sorry
Do you know I won't say sorry?
The pain has a bad reaction
Do you know what it's like to believe?
It makes me wanna scream
I see a glow from far away
A faint reflection on the sea
I left some words quite far from here to be a sure reminder
I laid them out in stone in case they need to last forever
You know I won't say sorry
Do you know I won't say sorry?
The pain has a bad reaction
A blend of fear and passion
Do you know what it's like to believe?
It makes me wanna scream
I see the stars, they're in your eyes
A playful kiss kept undecided
I'm fast asleep in the nick of time
You lost your wish, I can't help you find it

The lyrics of Angels & Airwaves's song Start The Machine describe a universal feeling of wanting to leave the past behind and start anew. The first verse describes a sense of detachment from past events, as the ash from these events has blown away and been lost into the sea. The singer admits to growing close to these thoughts and memories, but ultimately decides to leave them behind and run for shelter. The chorus repeats the phrase "Do you know I won't say sorry?", indicating a sense of pride and perhaps stubbornness in moving forward. The pain of the past has had a strong reaction, creating a blend of fear and passion, but the singer knows what it's like to believe and this makes them want to scream.
The second verse contains semblances of hope through a faint glow seen from far away, possibly representing a new beginning or opportunity. The singer leaves some words far from where they are, as a reminder of what they are leaving behind. The chorus repeats the same sentiment as before, with the pain of the past still being a driving force. The bridge sees a change in tone, shifting to a romantic or intimate scene, with stars in the eyes and a playful kiss. However, the uncertainty remains as one person is fast asleep and the other has lost their wish. The final line of the bridge leads into the final repetition of the chorus, where the singer swears to start fresh at the words of love from their partner.

I'm here turning 33 with the same things. Things too hard, evil and wicked to explain to anyone. But if you have lived it - you know. I hope I will survive my hell. Sending strenght to anyone who relates or is going through hardship of any kind ❤
