Just The Beginning
Hangar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did I have some kind of dream?
Hear the voices calling insanities
Loneliness is my name
Somehow the pain inside your eyes
Is just the beginning
Strange like angels going to hell
Somehow we found each other
Sacrifices
Have you ever seen a life falling dead?
Hate and love will give you chances
Beyond my silence I have my past
Living promises forever, forever
All the passion will be gone
New sensations
Some creations
Hate and love will give you chances
Somehow the pain inside your eyes
Is just the beginning
Sometimes they call
I just want to live inside your heart
Forever, forever
Love through her eyes forever
"E finalmente encontrei a paz através da dor e do sofrimento...
De alguma forma, a dor de dentro dos seus olhos é apenas o começo".
[translation:
"And finally I found the peace through pain and suffering…
Somehow, the pain inside your eyes is just the beginning."]
The lyrics of “Just the beginning” by Hangar portray the feeling of dissociation from the reality that the singer is going through. The opening line “Did I have some kind of dream?” implies that the singer is questioning the reality they are experiencing. The next line “Hear the voices calling insanities” suggests that the singer is hearing voices that are making them feel disconnected from the world around them. The line “Loneliness is my name” portrays the feeling of isolation and loneliness that the singer is experiencing.
The pain inside the eyes of someone else that the singer is talking about in “Somehow the pain inside your eyes is just the beginning” seems to be a reflection of their own pain. The singer finds solace in this pain as it helps them to connect with the other person who is experiencing similar emotions. The line “Strange like angels going to hell” portrays the surreal feeling of being in a situation that is beyond their control. The pain and sacrifices that they have endured lead them to a new phase in their life. They are hopeful for new experiences and sensations. The line “Love through her eyes forever” is a symbol of hope and a new beginning.
