Begin Again
The Summer Set Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slept all night on her bedroom floor.
I slip out the window
Shoes untied its time
I put the love that I lost in a cardboard box
Ship to you, PS, no return address, no, no.
I gotta let go.
Out into nothing
No there's gotta be something
If I crash I'll begin again
The weatherman's giving me rain
Pop an umbrella
I'll float away
Live it up like a holiday.
Cause everything's fine
Yeah everything's fine
Ready for take off
Out into nothing
No there's gotta be something
If I crash I'll begin again
Hey, hey pull the trigger
Here's to the start of bigger
I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
I play the part, but I can only apologize
One million times before it don't mean shit
And you know it
Ready for take off
Out into nothing
No there's gotta be something
If I crash I'll begin again
The weatherman's giving me rain
Pop an umbrella
I'll float away
Live it up like a holiday
Cause everything's fine
Yeah everything's fine
Ready for take off
Out into nothing
No there's gotta be something, something
I'll start over, over
This time I'm gonna get it right
I'm gonna start over, over
This time I'm gonna get it right.
Alright
Ready for take off
Out into nothing
No there's gotta be something
If I crash I'll begin again
The weatherman's giving me rain
Pop an umbrella
I'll float away
Live it up like a holiday
Cause everything's fine
Yeah everything's fine
I'm ready for take off
Out into nothing
No there's gotta be something
If I crash I'll begin again
Haha
The opening lines of the song, "Wake up, been here before. Slept all night on her bedroom floor" suggests a sense of deja vu or repetition, indicating that the singer has been through this situation before. It sets the tone of the following lyrics where the song talks about letting go of a past relationship and starting anew, hence the line "I put the love that I lost in a cardboard box. Ship to you, PS, no return address, no, no. I gotta let go". The metaphor of the box and the line "no return address" suggest the singer's willingness to move on completely, without any hopes of reconciliation.
The chorus of the song, with the repeated line "Ready for takeoff, out into nothing", ties in with the idea of moving on and starting anew. It's a metaphor for leaving everything behind and venturing out into the unknown. The line "If I crash, I'll begin again" adds a sense of transformation and growth, as the singer is willing to take risks and learn from their mistakes.
The second verse highlights the singer's desire for change and growth, with lines like "Here's to the start of bigger. I'm sorry, I'm not sorry. I play the part, but I can only apologize" hinting at the singer's realization of their past mistakes and their willingness to grow from them. The overall message of the song is optimistic and encouraging, with the lyrics urging the listener to let go of the past and begin again.
