Start With
Seaweed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know you were screwuing us both over anyway
I wish i could laugh but my laughs all tapped out
Cause i sat alone as you worshipped your wallet
Start with
Another person you can juggle
Another sidekick for your show
Hang it over my head
Its my only home
Motivated by cash but i'll tell you you're not alone
Just down your street to the first cafe
They've got the cash and now look
What it's bought them
New hair and ass but their souls are are all rotten
Start with
Another person you can juggle
Start with another psychic for your show
A one way trip wherever you go
Together whatever
I am not your accomplice
And i felt things you'll never know
Recover your losses and let go
Just a few square feet in a block of shame
And the way that you act i'm now guessing you'll remain
So i'll leave you the key and it's all been done
This island was bought for a handfull of trinkets
Look at it now-at it's the best way could sink it
Start with another person you could juggle
Start with another sidekick for your show
You were right-i got too close to your shadow
You were right now i'm all packed
Forget that you know me
The lyrics of Seaweed's song "Start With" paint the picture of a toxic relationship that has come to an end. The singer of the song is reflecting on how they were being taken advantage of by their ex-partner who was motivated by money, goals, and success.

The message of the song is that true happiness cannot be found through material gains and that toxic relationships can be damaging to one’s mental health.
The line "It's unlaughable now, it's not okay" suggests that the situation has reached a point where it can no longer be laughed off or ignored. The singer is angry and exhausted, as they describe their partner worshipping their wallet and setting up goals at the expense of their relationship. "Hang it over my head, it's my only home" implies that the singer felt trapped and dependent on the relationship, despite its toxicity. They wish they could just laugh it off and move on, but they can't.
The chorus "Start with another person you can juggle, start with another sidekick for your show" highlights the manipulative nature of the ex-partner. They are constantly seeking more people to control and use to their advantage, like performers in a show. The singer is angry about being treated as a disposable object, rather than a real human being. Meanwhile, the line "I am not your accomplice" shows that the singer has realized their worth and will no longer be a part of the ex-partner's schemes.
Overall, the lyrics of "Start With" suggest that the singer has found the strength to break free from a toxic and manipulative relationship. They have come to the realization that material possessions and selfish ambitions do not bring true happiness.
