Start of Something New
Cast of High School Musical Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities

I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight?
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side

I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see

It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new

Overall Meaning

The song, "Start of Something New," is a ballad in the film High School Musical, but it's also more than a love song about two teenagers finding each other. It's about taking chances and opening yourself up to new experiences. The lyrics open up with a confession that the singer has been "Living in my own world" and "didn't understand that anything can happen when you take a chance." The first two lines with a slow, acoustic guitar make you feel like Gabriella never took a risk until now. And this night marks her attempt at experiencing something new.


The chorus marks the moment of change. They sing, "This could be the start of something new." The word 'could' here is significant because it encapsulates the entire song's essence. The characters aren't sure of the result of their chance meeting, but they know that they want to give themselves a shot at it. They are honest with themselves that they didn't know love before, but now it's easy to see - 'it's a start of something new.'


The song concludes with enthusiasm as Gabrielle sings "The start of something new" with grit and determination, and Troy sings confidently "the start of something new." It ends with the idea that the characters are about to embark on a new life, something different than they have known before.

Lyrics:

Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen

When you take a chance

I never believed in What I couldn't see

I never opened my heart (Oh)

To all the possibilities

I know that something has changed
Never felt this way and right here tonight
This could be the start of something new

It feels so right to be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart (feel in my heart)
The start of something new

Now who'd have ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
This could be the start of something new
It feels so right to be here with you (oh)
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
I never knew that it could happen till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
It's the start of something new
It feels so right to be here with you
And now looking in your eyes I feel in my heart
That it's the start of something new
It feels so right to be here with you
And now looking in your eyes I feel in my heart
The start of something new (The start of something new)
The start of something new
