To Start Anew
The Perishers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's been a while since I've been alive
A new day, I feel a summer breeze
I will let it take me, wherever it may please
Breaking the promises I've made
'Cause I don't thirst for more
Don't hunger like before
I'm not sure no more
That we were fine before
I'm sorry, I hate to let you down
I know I promised that I'd always be around
A new day, a chance to start anew
I will try and move on but I'll remember you
Don't think I can forget one day I might regret
Breaking the promises I've made
'Cause I don't thirst for more
Don't hunger like before
I can't pretend another day
I'm not sure no more
That we were fine before
In The Perishers' song "To Start Anew," the lyrics express the desire to break free from the constraints of the past and start fresh. The opening lines "I'm breathing, I feel my heart beat, But it's been a while since I've been alive" convey a sense of resignation and feeling disconnected from the present moment, possibly due to some past disappointments or setbacks. However, the following lines "A new day, I feel a summer breeze, I will let it take me, wherever it may please" signal a renewed hope and willingness to move on.
The chorus of the song "Breaking the promises I've made, 'Cause I don't thirst for more, Don't hunger like before, I can't pretend another day, I'm not sure no more, That we were fine before" suggests that the singer is ready to break free from the promises they've made in the past, as they no longer feel the same hunger and thirst for life they once did. They are also no longer sure if everything was fine in the past as they had thought. The lines "I'm sorry, I hate to let you down, I know I promised that I'd always be around" convey a sense of regret and guilt for letting someone down, possibly a partner or a friend.
Overall, "To Start Anew" is a poignant track that explores the themes of detachment, self-discovery, and the painful process of moving on. It encourages listeners to embrace change, let go of the past, and live in the present.

on Trouble Sleeping
I’m having trouble sleeping
不眠症な僕の
You’re jumping in my bed
ベットの上で君はジャンプして
Twisting in my head
頭の中をねじるんだ。
Leave me
そっとしておくれ。
I’m having trouble breathing
呼吸困難な僕の
You’re sitting on my chest
胸の上で君は座って
I sure could use the rest
確かに安息できたんだ。
Leave me
そっとしておくれ。
It’s you
君さ
Why’s it always you
何故いつも君なんだ
and never me?
何故僕じゃなく。
I’ve never dared to let
僕には勇気がなかった
my feelings free
心を解き放つ
Why’s it always you
何故いつも君なんだ
and never me?
何故僕じゃなく
I’ve never cared
構ってあげられない僕の
too much about honesty
あまりにも素直な気持ち。
I’m having trouble sleeping
不眠症な僕の
I’m thinking of what you said
君の言った事を考えて
About the tears been shed
流れた涙のわけも
Leave me
離れて行く
It’s you
それは君
Now and always you
ずっと君なんだ
but never me
決して僕じゃなく
I’ve never dared to
僕には勇気がなかった
let my feelings free
感情を解き放つ
Why’s it always you
何故いつも君なんだ
and never me?
何故僕じゃなく
I’ve never cared
構ってあげられなかった僕の
too much about honesty
あまりにも素直な気持ちさ。
