The Clarke/Duke Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This ain't the blues This ain't nothin new
Are we fallin off again Someone pushed us from the ledge
No crime no sin We just don't fit in
Lets get lost Lost in Space Just two people a little out of
place Nothing's wrong Everything's fine Just lost in time
Woke up in a lost and found Don't understand the here and
now This aint my world Glad you're in my world
Lets get lost Lost in space Just two people a little out of
place Nothing's wrong Everything's fine Just lost in time
Sorry it don't get better Lets burn all the bridges we cross
Sorry it don't get better Lets burn all the people we know
This ain't the blues This ain't nothing new
Lets get lost This ain't the blues Lets get Lost This ain't
the blues Lets get lost This ain't the blues Lets get lost
Lets get lost Lets get lost Lets get lost Lets get lost Lets
get lost lets get lost Lets get lost Lets get lost This ain't the
blues

The Clarke/Duke Project's song Let's Get Started appears to be a reflection on feeling lost and displaced from the world. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who don't seem to belong in this reality, and have perhaps been pushed to the edge of their sanity. The repeated refrain of "Let's get lost" seems to suggest a desire to escape this harsh reality and find solace in each other's company. The lyrics touch upon themes of isolation, confusion, and ultimately, the cathartic release of burning all the bridges that keep one grounded in this world.
The opening lines of the song, "Lost in time no time in space, Never thought we'd ever fade" suggest a detachment from the usual markers of time and space that we use to navigate through life. This feeling of being perpetually lost is echoed in the later lines "Woke up in a lost and found, Don't understand the here and now, This ain't my world, Glad you're in my world". The connection between the two people is the only thing that offers any measure of stability and comfort in the bewildering landscape they find themselves in.
Interestingly, the lyrics also seem to subvert the conventional blues narrative. The repeated refrain "This ain't the blues, This ain't nothing new" suggests a rejection of the usual themes of heartbreak and loss that blues songs often explore. Instead, the song offers an alternative perspective, where getting lost and burning bridges becomes a release from the pain of being disconnected from the world around you.
