It All Starts Here
Magic Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just the kid looking out the window over rusted rundown moon
Wall eyes, and a thicken smile
Radio drowning on and on
Don't hold back, don't hesitate
'Cause we've got fire, it's in our blood
God damn this restless heart, keeping me up through the night
Cold dust in the desert rain, radio drawing on and on
Don't hold back, don't hesitate!
'Cause we've got fire, it's in our blood
And you don't need to be careful
No, you don't need to be careful
No, you don't need to be careful
Ooh oh oh ooh
I've got this restless heart burning up inside my bones
I remember looking out the window
Over rusted rundown moon
Wall eyes, and a thicken smile
Radio drowning on and on
Don't hold back, don't hesitate
'Cause we've got fire, it's in our blood
And you don't need to be careful
No, you don't need to be careful
No, you don't need to be careful
Ooh oh oh ooh
We hold our heads over the rising tide
To find our way out the city lights
The morning skies never seemed so clear
It all starts here
We hold our heads over the rising tide
To find our way out the city lights
The morning skies never seemed so clear
It all starts here
It all starts here
Oh oh ooh
It all starts here
Oh oh ooh
The song “It All Starts Here” by Magic Man, seems to be about someone who has a restless heart and can't keep still. The song starts with the singer describing their restlessness as a burning sensation inside their bones. Looking out of a window, over a rusted moon, they reminisce about their past and how far they've come. The radio in the background is playing, but the noise is drowned out by the voice inside their head, urging them to keep moving forward.
The chorus of the song is catchy and emphasizes that you don't need to be careful. The singer seems to be telling themselves, or whoever is listening to the song, to take risks and live without reservation. They talk about holding their heads over the rising tide, looking for a way out of the city lights, and seeing the morning sky clearer than before.
Overall, the song “It All Starts Here” embodies a sense of restlessness and the yearning for something more. It's a song about taking risks and finding your way out of the mundane, into something better.

Caplow dropped off the Face of the Earth.( I think it is a mental Ailment of some kind.)
He might be back in Years, or never be back.
Vanderhoop-Lee only posts Politics now.
Bowe moved on and joined a new Band.
Goodman is making his own Music.
I have not looked into Sulkowski though.
This is just to inform you in case you wanna know what happened to 4/5 of them.
I feel bad for Caplow, I FELT his pain from that post.....
It just bothers me people are suffering like that.
I think there is no hope Caplow will come back unless it is Politics.

I'm moving to Spain in 10 days. This song moves all my feelings and makes me wanna cry like a baby every little time I listen to it, but I'm pretty sure this is the song I'm gonna be playing on repeat on my flight to my new home. :)
@TigerAndTheDuke1

Still in Spain?
@BackfallGenius
holy crap I can't believe how good this new album is turning out to be. After their unbelievably good debut album, I didn't expect the second one to be better but this song is proving me wrong.
