The beginning
Dr. Schmidt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light

I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low

I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine

But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dr. Schmidt's song The Beginning are a poetic expression of a person discovering newfound love and appreciation for the little things in life that they previously didn't give much thought to. The opening lines, "I never cared much for moonlit skies, I never wink back at fireflies" suggest a lack of interest or attention to the beauty of nature. However, the singer's perspective changes with the discovery of a new love, "But now that the stars are in your eyes, I'm beginning to see the light." Here, the metaphorical use of "light" suggests a newfound understanding and appreciation of the world around them.

The theme of discovering love is further reinforced throughout the song, particularly in the lines "Then you came and caused a spark, That's a four-alarm fire now" and "But now that your lips are burning mine, I'm beginning to see the light." These lyrics suggest a passionate and intense love that has ignited within the singer. The use of metaphors like "spark" and "burning lips" evoke strong imagery and emotions associated with romance.

Line by Line Meaning

I never cared much for moonlit skies
Moonlit skies never really caught my attention

I never wink back at fireflies
I didn't care to acknowledge fireflies

But now that the stars are in your eyes
But now that I'm with you, I see stars in your eyes

I'm beginning to see the light
I'm starting to understand, to see things differently

I never went in for afterglow
I wasn't much for afterglow

Or candlelight on the mistletoe
Or that cliched candlelight and mistletoe scene

But now when you turn the lamp down low
But now, when you turn the lamp down low, it's different

I'm beginning to see the light
I'm starting to understand, to see things differently

Used to ramble through the park
I used to wander through the park

Shadowboxing in the dark
I would shadowbox in the dark

Then you came and caused a spark
But then you came into my life and ignited something

That's a four-alarm fire now
That small spark has grown into a raging fire

I never made love by lantern-shine
Making love by lantern-shine was never something I did

I never saw rainbows in my wine
I never used to see joy in the simple things, like rainbows in my wine

But now that your lips are burning mine
But now that you're with me, kissing me passionately

I'm beginning to see the light
I'm starting to understand, to see things differently
