Begin Again
Bury Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Start over, set finally free
Destroy me completely
Start over eternally
Taking control of falling apart
Choosing to crawl when I can no longer walk
Trapped in these four walls, no fear of the dark, no fear of the dark
Remember when I stole your future?
I severed the divine, forced forward
As I felt the wind slow, I let the guilt grow
We watched the sky fall apart
Light to dark
The start of the decline, self tortured
A short departure, deceivers design
Hide what lies inside
Sick of the lies you're telling me
Ever-paralyzed
Push the reset, we'll begin again
I've been so disconnected, feeling the distance, never free
A time despised
Push the reset, we'll begin again
Erase me completely
Start over eternally
We are left wondering why we always fall
The days are turning to years, becoming nothing at all
Repeat, recede into this constant sleep
The mind in stasis, a coma deep
Hide what lies inside
Sick of the lies you're telling me
Ever-paralyzed
Push the reset, we'll begin again
I've been so disconnected, feeling the distance, never free
A time despised
Push the reset, we'll begin again
Taking control of falling apart
Choosing to crawl when I can no longer walk
Trapped in these four walls, no fear of the dark, no fear of the dark
Erase me, completely, start over
Push the reset, we'll begin again
Push the reset, we'll begin again
The lyrics to Bury Tomorrow’s song “Begin Again” can be interpreted as a call for personal transformation and rebirth. The repetition of the phrase “Erase me completely, start over” and “Push the reset, we’ll begin again” speaks to the singer’s desire to shed their former self and begin anew. This theme is reinforced by the line “Taking control of falling apart, choosing to crawl when I can no longer walk,” which suggests a willingness to move forward despite the difficulties that accompany change.
The song also seems to touch on themes of guilt and remorse. The line “Remember when I stole your future?” suggests the singer has caused harm to another person, and the subsequent lines “As I felt the wind slow, I let the guilt grow” and “self tortured” suggest that they are dealing with the emotional aftermath of that harm.
Overall, the song is a powerful anthem of personal transformation, urging listeners to embrace change and begin again.

Dani was right. Kinda. This was not musically heavy, but oh my god it hits deep emotionally. Loved every single second of it. A perfect emotional song for the album! Gave me huge 'Better Below' vibes. The Seventh Sun hype is through the roof!🔥
