Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why can't we start it over again
Just let us start it over again
And we'll be good
This time we'll get it, mmm get it right
It's the last chance to forgive ourselves
The lyrics to Muse's song Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3: Redemption portrays a sense of hope and redemption. The lyrics speak to the desire to start over and make things right. The first verse repeats the line "Let's start over again" three times, emphasizing the idea of starting anew. The lyrics suggest that starting over will lead to goodness and that this time around, things will be done right.
The lines "It's the last chance to forgive ourselves" suggest that there may have been mistakes made in the past, but there is still an opportunity to make amends and set things right. The lyrics throughout the song are paired with sweeping, emotional instrumentation, with soaring strings and epic horns. While the lyrics themselves are somewhat simple, the delivery and the accompanying music lend a sense of grandiosity and emotion to the message of redemption.
Line by Line Meaning
Let's start over again
Let's begin anew, with a clean slate
Why can't we start it over again
What's preventing us from starting fresh?
Just let us start it over again
Please, give us the chance to start over
And we'll be good
We promise to do better this time
This time we'll get it, mmm get it right
We won't mess up again, we'll get things right
It's the last chance to forgive ourselves
We need to forgive ourselves for past mistakes, as this may be our final opportunity to do so

My "stepdad" or rather, a great friend and my mom's boyfriend for a few years, got cancer just after retirement, and the same year my mom would retire. He died a few weeks ago, a very good and influential person. He got me VIP tickets on several occacions to see live classical music in Oslo, as he could not attend some of them. One of them was with Debussy, it's the most intense listening experience I've ever had.
I already liked classical music, but he was almost fanatic about it, and highly critical of pop.
I just recalled now this as one song I never got the time to play for him, I think he would be impressed.
This song is the only song ever made that I've heard that has given me goosebumps.
Not only that, it gives me goosebumps EVERY time, and not only ONE it's SEVERAL!
This from a guy who already before 18 (2006) had over 2000 songs hand picked and downloaded individually through KaZaA or similar, cause I only add individual songs to my collection....
This song will stick by me until I'm dead.
And I will make sure to share it more wit hthose worthy :)

I played this to my stepdad the day it was released, he said it was the most beautiful piece of music he'd ever heard. Last year we played it at his funeral. I cried for about half an hour and this was the first time I've heard it since. Damn that was hard!
