Begin
Kristi Lane Sinclair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Lay your head down and go
See that worlds it’s going to undulate
Throw your hair back, it’s going to be a perfect day
Been so tired for while now
It’s time to get wild
Cause blame won’t hold us down
When I awake I’ll make even more mistakes
Shake shit clear apart and off I go
No, I don’t leave, I only start again
But more power in, fire breathes a perfect day
And been so tired for while now
It’s time to get wild
Blame won’t hold us down
Blame won’t hold us down
I only take what’s on the other side
Breathe in the night
Be free, darling change
And been so tired for while now
It’s time to get wild
Blame won’t hold us down
Clouds come with me, hand over fist
Failing the winds
To the waves, go underneath
Underneath, underneath, underneath
Underneath, underneath, underneath
Its time go and died a second time
Lay your head down and go
The lyrics of Kristi Lane Sinclair's song "Begin" carry a poignant and reflective message about embracing change, releasing burdens, and finding strength in resilience. The opening lines, "It’s where you go to die for a second time, Lay your head down and go, See that worlds it’s going to undulate, Throw your hair back, it’s going to be a perfect day," suggest a metaphorical death and rebirth, inviting a fresh start and a new perspective on life. The idea of letting go and surrendering to the flow of existence is portrayed as liberating and rejuvenating.
The repetition of feeling tired and the call to get wild denote a yearning for freedom and vitality amidst weariness and burdens. The refusal to be weighed down by blame signifies a defiance against negativity and a commitment to moving forward unencumbered by past mistakes or regrets. The singer acknowledges the inevitability of making more mistakes upon waking but resolves to shake off the past and embrace the journey of starting anew with renewed vigor and determination.
"I only take what’s on the other side, Breathe in the night, Be free, darling change" conveys a sense of courage to embrace the unknown, to welcome change, and to breathe in the fresh opportunities that lie ahead. The repetition of being tired for a while and the declaration that blame won't hold them down reinforces the resilience and determination to break free from limitations and self-imposed constraints, embracing a spirit of wildness and freedom.
The imagery of clouds, winds, and waves represents the unpredictable and turbulent nature of life, yet the call to go underneath suggests a willingness to delve beneath the surface and confront challenges head-on. The closing lines, "Its time go and died a second time, Lay your head down and go," brings the song full circle, echoing the theme of embracing change and embarking on a new chapter with a sense of surrender and acceptance. Overall, the lyrics of "Begin" resonate with themes of resilience, transformation, and the courage to embrace new beginnings.
