When It Begins
Kevin Drew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's gonna be really hard when we get to the end
Well, you love the start but really it's just to begin
It's gonna be really hard when we get to the end
But don't forget what you said
Thought I was gonna die when we got to the end
Love the start but just to begin
Thought I was gonna die when we got to the end
But don't forget what you felt
The lyrics to Kevin Drew's song "When It Begins" depict the difficulty of endings and the anticipation that comes with beginnings. The repetition of the line "It's gonna be really hard when we get to the end" emphasizes the fear and uncertainty that people often feel when approaching a conclusion or endpoint. The juxtaposition of this fear with the excitement of the beginning, as expressed through the line "Well, you love the start but really it's just to begin", highlights the human tendency to focus on the present and not think too much about the future consequences of our actions.
The repetition of the phrase "But don't forget what you said" or "But don't forget what you felt" throughout the song serves as a reminder to stay true to oneself and not lose sight of what is important. It's a call to look back on the promises and feelings that we had at the start of a journey or relationship and to hold onto those as we move forward.
Overall, the song captures the bittersweet feeling of transition, acknowledging the challenges that come with endings while still embracing the hope and possibility of new beginnings.
