Guvna B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got a second chance, you could go home
Escape it all it's just irrelevant
It's just medicine, it's just medicine
You could still be, what you want to
What you said you were, when I met you
Yeah. At times I don't know where I'm going
All these friends who say they supported you
Suddenly vanished with the wind
When you got nothing to lose, and expected to lose
Who do you look to then
When everybody wants something
Who can you really call a friend
Late night stressing cuz I'm guessing
Can happiness ever last
Cuz there's times, it's really here
But remains inside the past
I've given everything I got
But I always seem to crash
If life really gives you lessons
Then I'm failing the class
Damn, so let me start again
I've been losing this sight again
Been running close to empty
Don't think I can start this car again
It's hard to achieve, where no one sees you succeed
I sever ties with the closest ones who never believe
I've been broken down to pieces over a silly dream
Loved how my heart was ripped out for believing in me
Just a mic and a pen, and all the places I've been
I dont regret where I am
But can we start again
Pick it up, pick it all up, and start again
You got a second chance, you could go home
Escape it all, it's just irrelevant
What's meant to be isn't meant to be
Just everything we let happen
Been trapped inside our memories
The nights we stayed up laughing
I'm acting like I'm fine, as if none of this ever happened
Like my body shield with armor but inside I'm just collapsing
I know that You've moved on, and thats fine cuz so have I
But sometimes you reminisce of the feelings we made alive
And all those moments where you call me up at 3 in the morning
Can't tell you why I'm not folding
Am I provoking emotions
Was I wrong to try
And save the thing I thought that we had
Or was I crazy to believe that we could piece it all back
Like broken mirrors, I don't think that we could see through the cracks
We could do this all again, I know I take this all back
So tell me, was it worth it
With all the lies and the games
All the fights and the name calling
Im sorry to say, that these words aren't meant for you
But for me to ease the pain
Cuz sometimes you do feel better
When you walk in the rain
Pick it up, pick it all up, and start again
You got a second chance, you could go home. escape it all, its just irrelevant
Those moments when you realize all the friends that you lost
Pursuing happiness but losing it, the feelings so lost
When you're over thinking every night and you just want it to stop
Endlessly falling forever, and i dont want to be cut
I know I said it was for the best and while I'm filled with regret
I've been losing pieces of myself I don't know how much is left
I don't want to ever clean up this room, cuz I'd be the only mess left
Yeah, I'm still cleaning up my thoughts
And you're the only thought left
Lets Start Again
It's just medicine, it's just medicine
You could still be what u want to
What you said you were
When I met you
The lyrics to Guvna B's song Start Again speak to the idea of starting over and the hope that comes with a second chance. The opening lines of "pick it up, pick it up, and start again" set the tone for the rest of the song, with the repetition emphasizing the importance of grabbing hold of an opportunity to start anew. The lyrics acknowledge the difficulties that come with starting over, the sense of uncertainty that comes from not knowing where one is going, and the pain that comes from lost friendships and broken relationships. However, the song ultimately affirms that though it may be difficult, starting over is worthwhile, because it offers the chance to "be what you want to" and to live up to the image of oneself that one had at the beginning of life's journey.
As the song progresses, it explores different aspects of the drive to start over. In some cases, starting over is a matter of being able to escape from the past, represented in the phrase "escape it all, it's just irrelevant." In other cases, starting over is about overcoming fear and self-doubt, as reflected in the line "hard to achieve where no one sees you succeed." Still other times, starting over requires recognizing the damage that one has done to oneself or to others, as conveyed in the phrase "I've been losing pieces of myself I don't know how much is left."
One key thread that runs throughout the song, however, is a sense of hope. Even in the midst of hardships, the lyrics suggest that it is possible to "start again," that there is always a chance to begin anew. The closing lines of the song tie this hope to the idea of personal growth and development, with the phrase "you could still be what you want to" highlighting the infinite potential that lies within each individual.
Line by Line Meaning
Pick it up pick it up and start again
Take a second chance and move forward, leaving the past behind
You got a second chance, you could go home
Opportunity to return to being oneself and restart
Escape it all it's just irrelevant
Leave behind what does not matter
It's just medicine, it's just medicine
The past is just a lesson
You could still be, what you want to
You still have the power to achieve your dreams
What you said you were, when I met you
Striving to become who you wanted to be when you were younger
At times I don't know where I'm going
Lost and uncertain of the future
I'm stuck looking back at where I've been
Focusing too much on the past
All these friends who say they supported you
Friends who claimed to be supportive are gone
Suddenly vanished with the wind
Friends have left without a trace
When you got nothing to lose, and expected to lose
When you have nothing valuable to lose and expect failure
Who do you look to then
Where to turn to when you have no one to rely on
When everybody wants something
When people only want something from you
Who can you really call a friend
Trying to find genuine friends
Late night stressing cuz I'm guessing
Stress from constant overthinking
Can happiness ever last
Wondering if happiness is ever long-lasting
Cuz there's times, it's really here
Feeling happy at times, but has not lasted
But remains inside the past
But happiness only exists in the past
I've given everything I got
Putting all the effort in, but it's not enough
But I always seem to crash
Facing failure despite trying so hard
If life really gives you lessons
If life is supposed to provide lessons
Then I'm failing the class
But feeling like they are failing the test
Damn, so let me start again
Restarting again from where they stand
Been running close to empty
Drained of energy and running out of ideas
Don't think I can start this car again
Questioning their ability to keep going
It's hard to achieve, where no one sees you succeed
It's difficult to achieve success when no one believes in you
I sever ties with the closest ones who never believe
Cutting off those who didn't believe in their dreams
I've been broken down to pieces over a silly dream
Feeling defeated and discouraged over a dream
Loved how my heart was ripped out for believing in me
Despite heartache, they still believed in themselves
Just a mic and a pen, and all the places I've been
Traveling life with a microphone and pen as tools
I dont regret where I am
No regrets about the present
But can we start again
Hopeful for a new beginning
What's meant to be isn't meant to be
Things don't always work out as they were meant to
Just everything we let happen
Accepting things that happen but with control
Been trapped inside our memories
Stuck reminiscing about the past
The nights we stayed up laughing
Fond memories of late night laughter
I'm acting like I'm fine, as if none of this ever happened
Acting like the pain doesn't exist
Like my body shield with armor but inside I'm just collapsing
Putting up a strong front, while emotionally falling apart
I know that You've moved on, and thats fine cuz so have I
Acknowledging that they have moved on from a past relationship
But sometimes you reminisce of the feelings we made alive
Remembering the emotions they shared in the past
And all those moments where you call me up at 3 in the morning
Thinking back to moments shared with the person in the past
Can't tell you why I'm not folding
Not sure how they've managed to keep going
Am I provoking emotions
Wondering if they are giving off the wrong impression
Was I wrong to try
Questioning whether they should have kept trying
And save the thing I thought that we had
Trying to restore what they thought they had
Or was I crazy to believe that we could piece it all back
Thinking whether it was unrealistic to aim for reconciliation
Like broken mirrors, I don't think that we could see through the cracks
Seeing issues that cannot be fixed
We could do this all again, I know I take this all back
Hoping to start over and make better choices
So tell me, was it worth it
Asking if it was all worth it in the end
With all the lies and the games
Considering the games and deceit that led to the downfall
All the fights and the name calling
Recalling past fights and negative behavior
Im sorry to say, that these words aren't meant for you
These words are not directed at the person in the past
But for me to ease the pain
They are words used to overcome their own pain
Cuz sometimes you do feel better
Feeling relieved after letting it all out
When you walk in the rain
Finding comfort in the rain
Those moments when you realize all the friends that you lost
Realizing the many friends that have left in pursuit of happiness
Pursuing happiness but losing it, the feelings so lost
Searching for happiness, but unsure where it went
When you're over thinking every night and you just want it to stop
Experiencing constant overthinking that feels endless
Endlessly falling forever, and i dont want to be cut
Feeling like they are falling endlessly with no end in sight
I know I said it was for the best and while I'm filled with regret
Saying it was for the best, but feeling regretful about it
I've been losing pieces of myself I don't know how much is left
Feeling like they are losing themselves and unsure of how much they have left
I don't want to ever clean up this room, cuz I'd be the only mess left
Not wanting to clean up the mess they've become
Yeah, I'm still cleaning up my thoughts
Still sorting out their inner thoughts and emotions
And you're the only thought left
Thinking about the person from their past relationship
Lets Start Again
Hoping to start anew
