The Start
Journey from Love to Darkness: Johnny Yukon's Reflective Ballad
Lyrics
Something like that, yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation with a previous statement.
Something just, like, simple
Describing a preference for simplicity.
It's a long way back to the start
Reflecting on the journey back to the beginning or origin.
It's a long way back to your heart
Highlighting the distance to reconnect with emotions or love.
Think I lost myself in the dark
Suggesting a sense of being lost in challenging or difficult times.
Guess that's why our love fell apart
Attributing the breakdown of love to losing oneself in the darkness.
We used to wake up when we wanna
Recalling a past when waking up and spending days together was natural.
Wastin' my days with you
Expressing regret for spending time in a way that may not have been productive.
I shouldn't say it, but I'm gonna
Acknowledging a difficult truth that needs to be said.
We were never the same when you said
Noting a shift in the relationship after a specific statement or event.
Back in the past, I thought it would last
Reflecting on a belief that the relationship would endure in the past.
I said that I love you
Initially professing love.
But I'm takin' it back
Retracting the previous declaration of love.
And now you're fuckin' who you wanna (O oh)
Expressing the partner's freedom to be with whoever they choose.
'Cause you know, yeah, you know that
Acknowledging the partner's awareness of the situation.
It's a long way back to the start
Reiterating the theme of returning to the beginning of the relationship.
It's a long way back to your heart
Repeating the idea of a long journey to rediscover love.
Think I lost myself in the dark
Reiterating the feeling of losing oneself in challenging circumstances.
Guess that's why our love fell apart
Connecting the loss of love to losing oneself in darkness.
When you said
Repeating a past statement about the endurance of love.
Back in the past, I thought it would last
Reflecting on the belief that love would last in the past.
I said that I love you
Repeating the initial declaration of love.
But I'm takin' it back
Retracting the repeated declaration of love.
And now I'm fuckin' who you wanna (O oh)
Expressing the speaker's freedom to be with whoever they choose.
'Cause you know, yеah, you know that
Reiterating the partner's awareness of the situation.
It's a long way back to the start
Repeating the idea of a challenging journey back to the relationship's start.
It's a long way back to your heart
Reiterating the distance to reconnect with the heart or emotions.
Think I lost myself in thе dark
Reiterating the feeling of losing oneself in challenging circumstances.
Guess that's why our love fell apart
Connecting the loss of love to losing oneself in darkness.
