Start
Coffee Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you who you want to be?
Have you been to the places you want to see?
When was the last time you were impressed with yourself?
Or are you told what to do?
Is there a half-checked list that shadows you?
When was the last time you had faith in yourself?
Well, it's right there in front of you;
It's always been there,
And all it takes is just a step or two
And then you're on your own.
If you wake up in the morning,
If you feel boring,
It's time to stir things up.
The day that you stop your dreaming and start believing,
You're closer to the top.
'Cause ev'ry day you don't take action,
No satisfaction,
You're selling yourself short.
Don't tell me that you ain't got it,
'Cause I don't buy it.
All you gotta do is start.
All you gotta do is start.
All of the things that you have missed,
Can you say you've had enough of this?
When was the last time you made time for yourself?
... too much weight
Have your friends said that it's way too late?
When was the last time ... yourself?
Well, it's right there in front of you;
It's always been there,
And all it takes is just a step or two
And then you're on your own.
If you wake up in the morning,
If you feel boring,
It's time to stir things up.
The day that you stop your dreaming and start believing,
You're closer to the top.
'Cause ev'ry day you don't take action,
No satisfaction,
You're selling yourself short.
Don't tell me that you ain't got it,
'Cause I don't buy it.




All you gotta do is start.
All you gotta do is start.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Coffee Project's song "Start" implore listeners to ask themselves if they are who they want to be, if they have traveled to the places they want to see, and if they are doing what they want or just following orders from others. These questions encourage self-reflection and self-exploration, urging the listener to take action and start pursuing their dreams. The chorus emphasizes the importance of taking action and believing in oneself, as staying idle leads to dissatisfaction and a sense of being unfulfilled. The song urges listeners to not sell themselves short and to take a step or two towards their dreams, as it only takes a start to make progress.
