And the sun is

that this is the end
and this is the beginning
cause this is the end.
While I try to
calm down

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

The lyrics to Ian O'Brien-Docker's song "The Beginning" tell a story of a dark and uncertain journey into unfamiliar territory. The singer arrives in a new town on a Thursday, walking through the streets of an enemy's ground. As the sun heats up the environment, the singer begins to feel unsure and anxious, believing that this journey may mark the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one.
The second verse introduces a tragic element to the song, with the mention of a "girl" being killed in the city of love. Whether the singer was involved or simply witnessed the event is left unsaid, but the words carry a weight of guilt or sadness. As the song progresses, the singer tries to calm down and accept that they will have to continue on, pretending to be okay. The final lines hammer in the idea that this journey marks the beginning of something new, yet it also represents the end of something else.
Overall, the lyrics to "The Beginning" are rich with emotion and imagery, capturing the feeling of being lost and uncertain in a new place. The tragic note in the second verse adds an extra layer of depth and heartbreak to the story.
