The Beginning
Ian O'Brien-Docker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Arriving on a Thursday
walking down the streets
of another big town.
And the sun is
starting to heat up
the environment
of the enemy's ground.
And I'm starting to believe,
that this is the end
and this is the beginning
cause this is the end.
While I try to
calm down
my circulation
I know I will have to
go on to pretend.

Here's a note of my Diary
written on the 21st of July
it was in the city of love
you killed the girl
and I still don't know why

And I'm starting to believe
that this is the end
and this is the beginning
cause this is the end.
While I try to
calm down
my circulation
good luck and good-bye
my beautiful friend.

This is the beginning
and this will be the end

'Cause this is the beginning
and this will be the end

Try to calm down my circulation
Good luck and good-bye

Arriving on a Thursday
walking down the streets
of another big town.
And the sun is
starting to heat up
the environment
of the enemy's ground.

And I'm starting to believe
that this is the end
and this is the beginning
cause this is the end.
While I try to
calm down
my circulation
I know I will have to
go on to pretend.
'Cause this is the beginning





This is the beginning
and this will be the end
