Start Again
M.I.GOD. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seen this war a million times
Looking for a peace of mind
Now you hate what we've become
Say the word, let's be done
There is something in the way
I'm not always perfect
But I'm always myself
Find someone else
I won't say I'm sorry
For being who I am
Is the end a chance to start again?
幸せの定義は誰にもわからない
決める必要はない
その溢れた感情が
幸せと呼べる日々を作れ
I'm not always perfect
But I'm always myself
If you don't think I'm worth it
Find someone else
I won't say I'm sorry
For being who I am
Is the end a chance to start again?
I know, I know, I know it's not easy
You can leave here anytime
You know, you know, you know it's just not right?
I'm not always perfect
But I'm always myself
If you don't think I'm worth it
Find someone else
I won't say I'm sorry
For being who I am
Is the end a chance to start again?
The song "Start Again" by M.I.GOD. is a powerful and introspective reflection on the conflicting emotions that arise as relationships come to an end. The lyrics speak of drawing a line and wanting to find peace of mind, but also recognizing the imperfections of oneself and the fear of starting over. The chorus, "I'm not always perfect, but I'm always myself. If you don't think I'm worth it, find someone else," highlights the importance of self-love and acceptance, even in the midst of heartbreak.
The Japanese verse, "幸せの定義は誰にもわからない 決める必要はない その溢れた感情が 幸せと呼べる日々を作れ" translates to "No one can know the definition of happiness. There's no need to decide. Create everyday as a happiness with overflowing emotions." This adds another layer of depth to the song, emphasizing the importance of finding one's own happiness and not relying on others to define it.
Overall, "Start Again" is a poignant reminder that endings can also bring opportunities for new beginnings, and that it's ultimately up to oneself to create their own happiness.

For those confused by the music video in the comments here is the interpretation no one asked for.
TLTR (Basically a snake a man or temptation got into her life and she had an affair and it ruined her life and or marriage and destroyed her paradise which is her family. She feels guilt but also Accepts who she is, a sinful person.)
Some religious history needed before we jump into it. The devil disguised as a snake one day convinced Eve the first women into eating the forbidden fruit which is often depicted as an apple. (The fruit represents temptation and sin.)
By breaking Gods rule by eating the fruit, God cast Eve and Adam the first man out of the garden of paradise and into the world of sin. In the video we see a snake on a chair and in Adelle's lyrics say she wants to have fun and intentionally eats the apple at the end of the video. The Music video pans through allot of sexual and provocative themes such as half undressed men and women sometimes dancing and touching each other in shadows then slowly coming out into light where everyone can see them.
I think the director or Adele's is trying to say that she doesnt want to hide who she is anymore (come out from the shadows) and wants to indulge in the pleasure that are deemed as sinful.
The chair represents her leaving a conservative or restrictive life she once had. The chair is also seen to have plants growing from it at times representing the garden of paradise (Her paradise could be her family) and in one scene a man pours gas on it, In another scene a man breaks the chair, breaking her paradise. (Possibly a man could have something to do with her past life being broken or left behind?).
The ringed lights represent angles halos which represent her faith in god, in one scene a man crouches away from the halo possibly meaning she feels regret or so much shame represented by the man he covers his face with clothes unable to look at or unable to show his face to God due to the strong feelings of this guilt & shame, so much he hides from it's glow and crouches back in that shadows to hide. (Possibly the guilt & shame is from an affair.) This could also possibly mean she's struggling in her beliefs and faith in God. Notice when she is near the halo her clothes are identical to that of a nuns cloth and as we pan to the next moments her clothes become darker and revealing then we see the chair burning representing her deciding to destroy or forget her old life or possibly her marriage burning and her paradise lost in ashes. Then at the end of the video she intentionally bites the apple (The forbidden fruit)... Accepting that she is a sinful woman.. That's just my interpretation anyway.
TLTR (Basically a snake a man or temptation got into her life and she had an affair and it ruined her life and or marriage and destroyed her paradise which is her family. She feels guilt but also Accepts who she is, a sinful person.)
@Imalostboy
I ain't got too much time to spare
But I'll make time for you to show how much I care
Wish that I would let you break my walls
But I'm still spinning out of control from the fall
Boy, you give good love, I won't lie
It's what keeps me coming back even though I'm terrified
I know that it's wrong
But I want to have fun
Hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah
I know that it's wrong
But I want to have fun
Hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah
Oh my God, I can't believe it
Out of all the people in the world
What is the likelihood of jumping
Out of my life and into your arms?
Maybe, baby, I'm just losing my mind
'Cause this is trouble, but it feels right
Teetering on the edge of heaven and hell
Is a battle that I cannot fight
I'm a fool, but they all think I'm blind
I'd rather be a fool than leave myself behind
I don't have to explain myself to you
I am a grown woman and I do what I want to do
I know that it's wrong
But I want to have fun
Hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah
I know that it's wrong
But I want to have fun
Hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah
Oh my God, I can't believe it
Out of all the people in the world
What is the likelihood of jumping
Out of my life and into your arms?
Maybe, baby, I'm just losing my mind
'Cause this is trouble, but it feels right
Teetering on the edge of heaven and hell
Is a battle that I cannot fight
Lord don't let me
I said, Lord don't let me
I said, Lord don't let me, let me down (oh, Lord)
Lord don't let me
I said, Lord don't let me
I said, Lord don't let me, let me down (don't let me let myself down)
Lord don't let me
I said, Lord don't let me
I said, Lord don't let me, let me down (oh my God)
Lord don't let me
I said, Lord don't let me
I said, Lord don't let me, let me down
Oh my God, I can't believe it
Out of all the people in the world
What is the likelihood of jumping
Out of my life and into your arms?
Maybe, baby, I'm just losing my mind
'Cause this is trouble, but it feels right
Teetering on the edge of heaven and hell
Is a battle that I cannot fight
I know that it's wrong
But I want to have fun
Hmm, yeah, hmm, yeah
I know that it's wrong
