Back From The Beginning
SlowMotionNoise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just when you think it starts
Everything falls apart
And you have to start
Back from the beginning

Friends turned enemies
Have changed our destinies
Pushing everything
Into a distant memory

It′s time to start
Don't fall apart
We′re not the same
Don't point the blame

We had the best time of our life
Then you had to draw your knife
And plunge it straight into my back
There's no more time left to react

You see
Everything
Happens for a reason

Let′s just hope
For your sake
You made the right decision

A box of letters and
A couple photographs
Are the only things
To keep the memory

Of nights at the park
Sitting alone in the dark
When the world seemed to be
Only you and me

It wouldn′t last
We went to fast
Right from the start
We fell apart

We had the best time of our life
Then you had to draw your knife
And plunge it straight into my back
There's no more time left to react

You see
Everything
Happens for a reason

Let′s just hope
For your sake
You made the right decision

(I never knew that anything like this would ever happen)
Please girl, just talk to me
Just talk to me
Don't run away

(Right from the start we should have already seen this one coming)
But we both were blind
Lost track of time
Our heads still spinning

(I never knew that anything like that would ever happen)
Please girl, just talk to me
Just talk to me
Don′t run away

(Right from the start we should have already seen this one coming)
But we both were blind
Lost track of time
Our heads still spinning

We had the best time of our life
Then you had to draw your knife
And plunge it straight into my back
There's no more time left to react

You see
Everything
Happens for a reason

Let′s just hope




For your sake
You made the right decision

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to SlowMotionNoise's song "Back From The Beginning" depict the aftermath of a failed relationship and the realization that sometimes things fall apart, forcing us to start over. The opening lines express the sentiment that just when it seems like everything is beginning, it all crumbles and the journey must restart from the very beginning. The lines "Friends turned enemies, have changed our destinies, pushing everything into a distant memory" suggest that the relationship has deteriorated to the point where once close friends have become enemies, drastically altering the course of their lives and pushing their past experiences into a distant and painful memory.


The chorus emphasizes the need to keep moving forward and not let the situation break down completely. The lyrics mention that the singer had a wonderful time with their partner but then a betrayal occurred, comparing it to someone drawing a knife and stabbing them in the back. The significance of time running out for any possible reaction reflects the permanent damage that has been done. The lines "Everything happens for a reason, let's just hope for your sake, you made the right decision" suggest that the singer believes there is a purpose behind the relationship falling apart and hopes that their ex-partner has made the right choice in ending it.


The verses expand upon the memories and experiences shared in the relationship, touching on the nostalgia of moments spent together in places like the park. The realization that their connection was not strong enough to withstand the test of time dawns on the singer, with the lines "We went too fast, right from the start, we fell apart." Despite the pain and betrayal, there is still a plea for communication and an attempt to understand what led to the breakdown.


Line by Line Meaning

Just when you think it starts
Just when you believe things are beginning


Everything falls apart
Everything crumbles and breaks


And you have to start
And you are forced to begin


Back from the beginning
From the very start once again


Friends turned enemies
Those we once trusted now become foes


Have changed our destinies
They have altered the course of our lives


Pushing everything
Causing everything to be pushed


Into a distant memory
Into a fading recollection


It's time to start
It is the moment to commence


Don't fall apart
Do not break down


We're not the same
We have changed, we are different now


Don't point the blame
Do not assign guilt


We had the best time of our life
We experienced the most joyous moments


Then you had to draw your knife
But then you chose to betray me


And plunge it straight into my back
And thrust it directly into my betrayal


There's no more time left to react
There is no longer any time to respond


You see
You understand


Everything
All occurrences


Happens for a reason
Take place with a purpose


Let's just hope
We can only wish


For your sake
In your interest


You made the right decision
You have chosen wisely


A box of letters and
A container of written correspondence and


A couple photographs
A few pictures


Are the only things
Are the sole objects


To keep the memory
To retain the recollection


Of nights at the park
From evenings spent at the park


Sitting alone in the dark
Sitting in solitude within the darkness


When the world seemed to be
When it appeared that the entire world was


Only you and me
Only the two of us


It wouldn't last
It was not meant to endure


We went too fast
We rushed too quickly


Right from the start
Right from the very beginning


We fell apart
We disintegrated


Let′s just hope
We can only wish


For your sake
In your interest


You made the right decision
You have chosen wisely


(I never knew that anything like this would ever happen)
(I was naive and did not anticipate such an event)


Please girl, just talk to me
Please, girl, simply communicate with me


Don't run away
Do not flee


(Right from the start we should have already seen this one coming)
(From the very beginning, we should have foreseen this situation)


But we both were blind
But both of us were oblivious


Lost track of time
Allowed time to slip away from us


Our heads still spinning
Our minds are still in turmoil


(I never knew that anything like that would ever happen)
(I was unaware that such an occurrence could transpire)


Please girl, just talk to me
Please, girl, simply communicate with me


Don′t run away
Do not flee

But we both were blind
But both of us were oblivious


Lost track of time
Allowed time to slip away from us


Our heads still spinning
Our minds are still in turmoil


We had the best time of our life
We experienced the most joyous moments


Then you had to draw your knife
But then you chose to betray me


And plunge it straight into my back
And thrust it directly into my betrayal


There's no more time left to react
There is no longer any time to respond


You see
You understand


Everything
All occurrences


Happens for a reason
Take place with a purpose


Let's just hope
We can only wish


For your sake
In your interest


You made the right decision
You have chosen wisely
