Restart
Aurea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I spared my soul and played it smart
I gave it up, although it was not impossible
To walk-through
I said the wrong words
At the wrong time
I ran away and hide from confrontation
And looking back now
I gave you all my love
I sang you my song
I said yes forever
I carried our soul
I died and I flied
I haunted your dreams
I found love inside my heart
Restart
In the last mile of road
I realized my heavy load
Was nothing precious
Had nothing worth
I can't find a reason why I bear it
And looking back now
I gave you all my love
I sang you my song
I said yes forever
I carried our soul
I died and I flied
I haunted your dreams, I found love
Inside your hearts
Restart
Now I'm certain
Now I'm sure about it
There's only one thing
There's only one way to feel complete
We're made to love each other
I gave you all my love
I sang you my song
I said yes forever
I carried our soul
I died and I flied
I haunted your dreams, I found love
Inside your hearts
Restart

In the first two verses, the singer acknowledges their past mistakes and shortcomings, recognizing that they have hurt others and avoided difficult situations out of fear. They reflect on saying the wrong words and running away from confrontation, which led to missed opportunities for connection and understanding. The use of imagery like "wounded hearts" and "haunted dreams" conveys the emotional weight of their actions.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses regret for not fully appreciating the love they had and the sacrifices made by their partner. The repetition of phrases like "I gave you all my love" and "I carried our soul" underscores a sense of accountability and a desire to make amends.

They affirm that loving each other is essential for fulfillment and completeness. This revelation marks a turning point in the narrative, where the focus shifts from past mistakes to a newfound clarity about the importance of love and mutual support in relationships.
The final chorus brings a sense of resolution and renewal, as the singer vows to give their all in love, to sing their song with sincerity, and to commit to forever. The repeated mention of restarting signifies a fresh start, a commitment to learning from past errors, and a determination to approach love and relationships with honesty and dedication. Overall, "Restart" is a moving reflection on growth, redemption, and the transformative power of love.
