Begin Again
Brooks Dixon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to the city of flashing lights
I woke up
to that unfamiliar skyline
oh, but these days
my worries seem to cut to the fog and the haze
but the light
can't seem to find it's way back to me
could I feel the warmth again
and just begin again
I got up
from that same old resting place
brush my hair to the side
and fluffed up my pillowcases
I looked in the mirror
and the rackless face of a man
he said what are we gonna do with you?
I say wathever we can
But I hope one day
I can do more than hope again
and just begin again
Oh, begin again
come along, my friend
from where and wherever you've been
and just begin again
Oh, begin again
just begin again
Oh, begin again
just begin again
Oh begin again
Come along my friend
We can start all over again
and just begin again

The lyrics of Brooks Dixon's song Begin Again describe the experience of someone who has gone to the city in search of something new and exciting, but instead finds themselves lost and struggling to find their way. The flashing lights and unfamiliar skyline represent the idea of the city as a place of opportunity, but the singer soon realizes that the promises of the city are not delivering as expected. The fog and haze that he describes represent the confusion and uncertainty that he is feeling. He wonders how he can get back to feeling the warmth of hope and possibility that he once had.
The song then goes on to describe the singer's feelings of resignation and the idea that he is stuck in the same old place. He looks in the mirror and sees the restless face of a man who is unsure of what to do next. However, he is determined to keep going and hopes to do more than just hope again, which leads to the refrain of the song: "Oh, begin again, come along my friend, from where and wherever you've been and just begin again."
The message of the song is about the hope of starting over and beginning again, even when things seem difficult or impossible. It is a reminder to not give up and to keep pushing forward towards a better future.

I went up
I traveled to a different city
to the city of flashing lights
to a city with lots of bright lights
I woke up
I became aware
to that unfamiliar skyline
to the sight of a city skyline I didn't recognize
oh, but these days
recently
my worries seem to cut to the fog and the haze
I'm having trouble seeing through my worries
but the light
hope or positivity
can't seem to find it's way back to me
I'm having trouble feeling hopeful or positive
And I wonder how
I question how
could I feel the warmth again
can I feel happiness or comfort again
and just begin again
and start fresh
I got up
I stood up
from that same old resting place
from the same spot where I usually rest
brush my hair to the side
tidied up my hair
and fluffed up my pillowcases
arranged my pillows
I looked in the mirror
I saw my reflection
and the rackless face of a man
my tired and worn out appearance
he said what are we gonna do with you?
acknowledging my current state and questioning how to improve it
I say wathever we can
I'm open to any solutions
But I hope one day
I have a desire for improvement in the future
I can do more than hope again
I can take action rather than just hoping for the best
and just begin again
and start fresh
Oh, begin again
Oh, start fresh
come along, my friend
join me
from where and wherever you've been
wherever you came from or have been before
just begin again
let's start fresh together
Oh, begin again
Oh, start fresh
just begin again
let's start fresh
Oh, begin again
Oh, start fresh
just begin again
let's start fresh
Oh begin again
Oh, start fresh
Come along my friend
Join me, my friend
We can start all over again
We can start fresh from the beginning
and just begin again
and start fresh
