The band Reamonn began in 1990 in Freiburg, Germany with a classified advertisment from Rea in the paper. "Irish singer is looking for band for recording and tour". It didn't take long for Mike to contact Rea. He knew Sebi, who played in a band with Uwe. Uwe told Phil about the project they were doing and suddenly he was there too. Reamonn was born...
Reamonn is currently on hiatus, with vocalist Rea Garvey focusing on his solo career at the moment.
Starting To Live
Reamonn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We?re racing through these streets of paradise
Wake up, Wake up
Open your eyes
Revolution?s ripping up the skies
You feel you?re starting to live
You feel your loosing control
So let the chemicals flow
The chemicals flow
Come on take a roller coaster ride
There?s no on in the universe tonight
Wake up, Wake up, you?ve arrived
We?re lighting up the streets of paradise
You feel you?re starting to live
You feel your losing control
You only get what you give
So let the chemicals flow
Oh, you feel like you?re in Overdrive
Oh, your shooting stars pass you by
You feel you?re starting to live
Oh you feel like you?re in overdrive
Oh shooting stars pass you by
You feel you?re starting to live
You feel you?re losing control
You only get what you give
So let the chemicals flow
Yeah your losing control
A chemical flow
It?s just a chemical flow
It?s just a chemical flow
It?s just a chemical
In Reamonn's song Starting To Live, the lyrics convey a feeling of liberation and celebration, as the singer navigates through a world that is bursting with energy and possibility. The idea of shooting stars, which are often associated with hope and magic, is used symbolically to suggest that nothing can bring them down or hinder their euphoric state. The words "Wake up, Wake up" are repeated twice in the chorus, almost as a call to action, urging the listener to embrace the moment and let themselves be swept up in the excitement of it all. The theme of revolution is also present in the song, as the singer sees the world around them changing and evolving, and feels as though they are a part of something big and transformative.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of loss of control, which can be both exhilarating and frightening at the same time. The repeated line "You feel you're starting to live" suggests that the singer is experiencing a kind of awakening, a shift in consciousness that is allowing them to fully embrace life and all of its ups and downs. The use of the word "chemicals" also contributes to this sense of surrender, as though the singer is allowing themselves to be carried away by the rush of adrenaline and excitement that comes with living fully in the moment. Overall, the song is an ode to the beauty and unpredictability of life, and the profound joy that can come from letting go and embracing the unknown.
