And so It Begins
Artificial.Music Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aint it something that we say these things that we need
But then fear creeps in or other life forces impede
And then we stop the challenge before we get the prize
And we stutter through hellos, while perfecting goodbyes

Like a corvette with the garage door down
Or a rescued dog that never leaves the pound
Or that something lost never cared to be found
In the wasteland, stopping before it begins.
Like a soaring eagle that can't flap his wings
Or a perfect voice, that wouldn't ever sing
Or a long cold winter, that never gets to spring
In the wasteland, stopping before it begins

Don't fret it, don't sweat it, just acknowledge the pull
And just take the grab like the horns of the bull
Whether it's right or it's wrong, we can't always know
But to live a full life, it's the up you must show

Like a corvette with the garage door down
Or a rescued dog that never leaves the pound
Or that something lost never cared to be found
In the wasteland, stopping before it begins.
Like a soaring eagle that can't flap his wings
Or a perfect voice, that wouldn't ever sing
Or a long cold winter, that never gets to spring
In the wasteland, stopping before it begins

Like a corvette with the garage door down
Or a rescued dog that never leaves the pound
Or that something lost never cared to be found
In the wasteland, stopping before it begins.
Like a soaring eagle that can't flap his wings
Or a perfect voice, that wouldn't ever sing
Or a long cold winter, that never gets to spring




In the wasteland, stopping before it begins
In the wasteland, stopping before it begins

Line by Line Meaning

Aint it something that we say these things that we need
Isn't it strange that we express our desires and necessities


But then fear creeps in or other life forces impede
But then fear or other external factors hinder us


And then we stop the challenge before we get the prize
And then we quit before reaching the goal


And we stutter through hellos, while perfecting goodbyes
And we struggle with beginnings while mastering endings


Like a corvette with the garage door down
Like a luxurious car trapped in a confined space


Or a rescued dog that never leaves the pound
Or a rescued animal that remains in captivity


Or that something lost never cared to be found
Or something that's lost and forgotten


In the wasteland, stopping before it begins.
Abandoned or left incomplete


Like a soaring eagle that can't flap his wings
Like a bird unable to fly despite its potential


Or a perfect voice, that wouldn't ever sing
Or an individual with a beautiful voice that doesn't showcase their talent


Or a long cold winter, that never gets to spring
Or a period of stagnation, where growth and change never come


Don't fret it, don't sweat it, just acknowledge the pull
Don't worry too much, just recognize the urge to move forward


And just take the grab like the horns of the bull
And seize the opportunity like taking hold of the horns of a bull


Whether it's right or it's wrong, we can't always know
Sometimes, we cannot determine what's correct or incorrect


But to live a full life, it's the up you must show
However, to fully experience life, one must persevere


In the wasteland, stopping before it begins.
In an unproductive or fruitless situation, ending before starting


Like a corvette with the garage door down
Like a luxurious car trapped in a confined space


Or a rescued dog that never leaves the pound
Or a rescued animal that remains in captivity


Or that something lost never cared to be found
Or something that's lost and forgotten


In the wasteland, stopping before it begins.
Abandoned or left incomplete


Like a soaring eagle that can't flap his wings
Like a bird unable to fly despite its potential


Or a perfect voice, that wouldn't ever sing
Or an individual with a beautiful voice that doesn't showcase their talent


Or a long cold winter, that never gets to spring
Or a period of stagnation, where growth and change never come


In the wasteland, stopping before it begins
In an unproductive or fruitless situation, ending before starting
