Begin
Brian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Of course I'm scared
Wouldn't you be shocked if I wasn't a little scared?
I knew there'd come a time
Where I couldn't run anymore
A what's a life to leave behind
When all you've done was waste your time
And sat and thought, what good did that do?
And if all that's left to start again
Was will and love from way back then
I may have thought I would have made it through
Part of me wants to forget
Oh but part of me knows that I can't
Oh and I know that I should move on
But I know it could happen again
It took time
To feel alright
To almost miss the days when Nothing seemed to matter
And I feel fine




I'm not going nowhere
Seems like maybe I've just made it out

Line by Line Meaning

I remember the day when
I have a clear memory of the exact day when


We first met
I recall the moment we were first introduced


We both got caught in
We were both affected by


The rain
The wet precipitation from the sky


And we were soaking wet
Our clothes were completely drenched


I looked in your eyes
I made direct eye contact with you


You gave me a smile
You formed a facial expression showing happiness


You told me your name
You stated to me the identity you are known by


You told me about
You spoke to me concerning


Your career
The profession or work that earns you money


I told you about my hopes
I shared with you my aspirations


My dreams my fears
The aspirations and anxieties that live inside me


We had some laughs
We were amused and entertained together


One month has past
30 or so days have gone by since that time


Tonight can't you stay
I am requesting that you spend the night


[Chorus]
The repeated section of the song


Now that
Considering that


The time is feeling just right
The moment seems to be ideal


Candles burnin' turnin' out
The flames of the candles are burning down


The lights
The illumination in the room


Anticipate the feelin' of
I am imagining the sensation of


Your skin
The external layer of your flesh


Shall we begin
Should we initiate this romantic encounter


Hit repeat and let the
Press play again and allow the


Music play
The melody and rhythm to continue


Until the night turns
Continuing until the time when evening transitions


Into day
The start of the next morning


Open-up your heart and let
Please be vulnerable and allow


Me in
Let me connect with your emotions


Over time
As time passed by


We've gotten closer
Our bond has strengthened


Than close
More than what is considered near


You're the one
You are the person


I want to be with the most
The individual I desire to spend the most time alongside


Neither one of us was in
Neither of us were


A rush
An urgency to act quickly


Agreeing to wait
Determined to show patience


Now I feel my patience
Currently, I am not as tolerant


Running thin
Exhausting or almost depleted


Anticipating when you tell
Expecting a response from you on


Me when
Informing me of the time when we can take the next step


The time is now
We should act in the present moment


Tell me you'll stay
Confirm that you'll continue to be with me


[Chorus]
The repeated section of the song


We're gonna take our time
We will proceed at a leisurely pace


Don't hesitate to
Don't be afraid to


Come inside
Enter this intimate moment with me


Relax your mind
Ease your thoughts and simply be in the moment


Everything is alright
You have nothing to worry about


The candlelight and you
The cozy illumination of the candles alongside you


Just pour the wine
Just fill our glasses with this alcoholic beverage


We're gonna take it
We'll move at a relaxed tempo


Nice and slow
Smoothly and unhurriedly


Auto pilot
Naturally and without much thought


Steady as we go
Let's proceed cautiously and consistently


Not in a hurry, no
Let's take our time, we don't need to rush


Till I hear you say
I will wait until you declare


That you're glad
That you feel satisfied


You stayed
That you spent this special moment with me

Uri Patootie

This is actually some really good shit. Learning to enjoy tension and learning to love the thrill can be extremely useful, even for things you would never consider to have anything to do with masculinity.

When I was a freshman in highschool I had to do a presentation with 3 other classmates(less tension than being by myself). I was scared shitless. I was fidgeting, I was rocking side to side, my voice would have weird inconsistencies, and what I said didn't make sense.

2 years later, having watched this video and read up on growing my masculinity and actually doing it in those 2 years, I give a legendary presentation all by myself in a class that I almost never talked in. Everybody loved it and died of laughter and felt various emotions as I took them through a weird but genuine presentation that nobody expected.

And now, I love the thrill of presenting. I crave getting up in front of a group of people and not know what the hell I'm gonna say and making it up by looking right at everybody, reading the room, and building from there, all while maintaining calm and cool body language and facial expressions, and enjoying the tension that I'm creating.

tldr; masculinity ftw



I am

36:53 Connect to the heart and stomach

44:41 it's the energy behind the words, it's how you say it

49:10 Great example on how to communicate

51:30 How to communicate for better sex

Be the mountain, Be the riverbank



John Smith

As if you were a psychologist
As I study psychology I talk to people and think about people through a psychologist`s view point , it helps tremendously. A psychologist keeps secrets, shows compassion, listens attentively, and responds appropriately with words and body language.
A great book to study and put into practice is called:
BASIC SKILLS IN PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELING BY CHRISTIANE BREMS.
Someone said to me they don`t believe in psychology. And I replied, I`very been using it while we were talking! That will be $200 please. (I didn`t say the money part).
Are you a psychologist or my friend? Hmm... let me see, I`m deciding what you need? Enough with the jokes,
Great instructional video Brian. How not to be "beside yourself " (seeing someone as the image you made up in your mind as you want or think they should be). But moving into your body fully and accepting the other's authentic presence as you present your authentic presence with compassion. Wow! Possibilities...
Awareness should be used for the good of both people. I once talked with a gorgeous 22 year woman when I came out of a store . (She was a mexican, long black hair, slim tight body, petite, friendly disposition, perfect American English, my type... oo la la).BUT do to her circumstances it was best to let her be. She" hit" on me during our ending conversation. I opened her up with psychology skills. I didn't want to take advantage of her though. I don't remember off hand , it's something to do with 2 opposing dilemmas in your mind at the same time in psychology. To solve them both I cut the line and left politely when the conversation ended .(there is a natural end to every conversation once heart words are exchanged).
Thankyou Brian,
From USA with love,
Jm

43:34 I like her explanation Of how it feels from the feminine perspective.

And your awareness of the masculine’s poor reaction. It expresses a state within him of lowness (for lack of a better word). Why is he reacting that way? Lack of confidence? Tension fatigue in life? Hell maybe he has no fight left in him.

I think what we have been asking for is women to recognize our states but such is not the case.

So we have to tell ourselves to heal restore recharge and move forward while understanding she may not assist in that process. Not cause she can’t. She’s just too busy hitting us and hoping we stay in show how strong we are opposed to assisting in why we are not.

Either way at the end of the day it’s up to us
