Koop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We never seem to find peace of mind
We're always on the run, away from the sun
And we've only just begun

You say we've overcome, nothing is wrong
You say our job is done, the battle is won
But we've only just begun
You say our job is done, the battle is won




But we've only just begun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Koop's "Waltz for Koop" invite listeners to pause and reflect on the journey of life. The opening lines acknowledge how elusive peace of mind can be, as we are constantly running away from the sun, a metaphor for life's challenges and struggles. However, despite this constant search, the singer notes that "we've only just begun," hinting at an optimistic outlook and an understanding that every journey has a beginning.


The song takes a darker turn in the second verse, with the singer challenging someone who claims they have already overcome life's challenges, insisting that nothing is wrong and the battle is won. The singer begs to differ, insisting, "we've only just begun" and implying that there is still much to do and overcome, both personally and collectively.


Line by Line Meaning

We never seem to find peace of mind
Our minds are constantly uneasy and disturbed, and we struggle to find inner tranquility despite our efforts.


We're always on the run, away from the sun
We are forever running away from brightness and positive energy, and avoiding experiences that require us to be present in the moment.


And we've only just begun
Despite the challenges we face, we know that we are just at the beginning of our journey towards growth and self-improvement.


You say we've overcome, nothing is wrong
Individuals around us may try to convince us that we have achieved healing and everything is alright, but we must on our own find acceptance and balance within ourselves.


But we've only just begun
Despite their attempts to bring us to a closure, we know deep down that our journey towards peace and well-being is far from finished.


You say our job is done, the battle is won
People may tell us that the fight is over and we no longer have to worry, still, that's not enough. There is always room for improvement and constant growth should be our goal.

Hello, my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you
We said goodbye
With the smile on our faces
Now you're alone
You're so sad on your own
The truth is
We ran out of time
Now you're looking for me
Or anyone like me

I remember the first time I heard this song, I was in the car with the love of my life, he died last year, and this song will always have its power to make me feel melancholic.
