The Draft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but let him settle in
and all the rest of the pieces
will fall in
and all that's left of his life
will haunt him and
her last breath will be where it begins
cause they bring him back,
this is not the end.
There's plenty more,
I've seen it before.
The end's where it begins
And that's what I like about it.
It's not so complicated if you go right through.
It's the best part of all of this.
Cause we have been left for dead
in our own fuckin beds.
Forced to start again,
with new eyes open.
The end's where it begins
And that's what I like about it.
It's not so complicated if you go right through.
The decisions made never go away,
but they're misunderstood.
It's not looking good,
but that's what I like about it.
It's not so complicated if you go right through.
The Draft's New Eyes Open is a song that tells the story of someone who has gone through a lot of ups and downs in their life. The opening lines of the song introduce the singer as someone who is a "wreck" and is in the process of settling in. The lyrics then go on to suggest that things will eventually fall into place for him, albeit in a way that is haunting and will be a constant reminder of his past. The line "her last breath will be where it begins" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the person's past is tied to someone they loved who has passed away.
Throughout the song, the lyrics suggest that there is hope for the future, despite the difficulties that the singer has faced. The chorus, "The end's where it begins" is a reminder that every ending creates a new beginning, and that even in the darkest moments, there is always the possibility of something new and better. The repeated line "It's not so complicated if you go right through" is a message of encouragement, urging the listener to keep going no matter what obstacles they may face.
Overall, the lyrics of New Eyes Open suggest that even in the face of adversity, there is always hope for a better future. The song encourages listeners to embrace the unknown, to look for the possibilities in every ending, and to keep moving forward no matter what obstacles they may face.
Line by Line Meaning
He's a wreck
He is a damaged and troubled person
but let him settle in
Give him time to adjust and find peace
and all the rest of the pieces
All the other aspects of his life
will fall in
Will fall into place and make sense
and all that's left of his life
What remains of his existence
will haunt him and
Will torment him and linger
her last breath will be where it begins
The end will lead to a new start
cause they bring him back,
They revive him
to counter-attack,
To fight and resist
this is not the end.
It is not the ultimate conclusion
There's plenty more,
There is a lot more to come
I've seen it before.
I have experienced it in the past
And that's what I like about it.
That's what appeals to me
It's not so complicated if you go right through.
It's not difficult to understand if you analyze it properly.
It's the best part of all of this.
It is the most rewarding aspect of everything
Cause we have been left for dead
We have been abandoned or ignored
in our own fuckin beds.
Left to face our problems alone
Forced to start again,
Compelled to begin anew
with new eyes open.
With a fresh and insightful outlook
The end's where it begins
The conclusion marks a new start
The decisions made never go away,
The choices we make are permanent
but they're misunderstood.
But they are often misinterpreted
It's not looking good,
It's not appearing favorable
but that's what I like about it.
But that's what makes it interesting

@Jay 13 Just because you like music that isn't mainstream doesn't make you interesting or not bored. As a matter of fact, you are typical. It's extraordinarily typical to seek out things that aren't mainstream, and then project your faux superiority on people. The Foo Fighters being popular doesn't make their music bad just as this music not being popular doesn't make it bad. Get over yourself.

@Seeno K Foo Fighters are a lame arse mainstream band for bored kids. so who cares ...
