Where to Start
Discovering Love's Labyrinth: Where to Start by Junkyard Cat Unveiled
Lyrics
1, 2, 3, 4...
Counting off numbers to establish a rhythm or sequence.
Well don't close your eyes, the time will pass
Encouraging someone to stay awake and engaged because time is passing.
Cause it's too late to save the one, her love burns fast
Expressing regret that it's too late to save a relationship that burned out quickly.
Through 20 years, you've laughed and you've loved, but what do you have to show?
Reflecting on 20 years of experiences, questioning the achievements in love and life.
Some broken dreams, a blonde-shaped-hole, and a million places you need to go
Listing the outcomes of the relationship: broken dreams, a void, and a desire for exploration.
But I just don't know where to start
Expressing uncertainty and hesitation about moving forward.
Stuck in just one place I'm tied down, chained to a rock
Feeling stuck and constrained, possibly in a stagnant situation or relationship.
I took a mushroom trip I felt the love in my heart
Describing a psychedelic experience and feeling love deeply.
I promised her I'd make it she said, "Don't be someone you're not"
Recalling a promise to a loved one to be genuine and true to oneself.
She said, "Don't be someone you're not"
Repeating the advice to avoid pretending to be someone else.
Say, "Don't be someone you're not", oh
Reiteration of the advice to be authentic and true to oneself.
Said, "Don't be someone you're not", oh
Further repetition of the counsel to avoid pretense.
Said, "Don't be nobody to me"
Rejecting the idea of being nobody to the speaker, asserting individuality.
Find my eyes if you need to see
Inviting someone to look into the speaker's eyes to understand them better.
I'm not the guy you see in the movies
Denying conformity to the stereotypical movie character.
Look through me loosely
Encouraging a more casual or flexible perception of the speaker.
Holding on to my arms while we trip to your favorite songs
Sharing intimate moments and connections through shared experiences.
Share your mornings and evenings and seasons and dawns
Describing shared moments in different phases of the day and seasons.
But I'll cut my hair, and she'll bite my lip
Symbolic actions of change (cutting hair, biting lip) within the relationship.
And we'll dance under stars, and figure out who we are
Expressing a desire to explore and discover identity together.
Cause I just don't know where to start
Reiterating the theme of uncertainty about where to begin in the relationship.
Stuck in just one place I'm tied down, chained to a rock
Feeling confined and restricted, possibly by circumstances.
I took a mushroom trip I felt the love in my heart
Recounting a psychedelic experience and the profound feelings it evoked.
I promised her I'd make it she said, "Don't be someone you're not"
Reaffirming the commitment to be true to oneself in pursuit of success.
And I just don't know where to start
Repeating the uncertainty about where to begin in the relationship.
And I just don't know where to start
Continuing the expression of uncertainty and indecision.
And I gave you all my heart
Affirming the sincerity of giving one's heart to another.
And I gave you all my heart
Repeating the sentiment of giving one's heart completely.
And I just don't know where to start
Reiterating the uncertainty and confusion about where to start.
Stuck in just one place I'm tied down, chained to a rock
Repeating the feeling of being stuck and constrained.
I took a mushroom trip I felt the love in my heart
Recalling the impactful psychedelic experience and the love felt.
I promised her I'd make it she said, "Don't be someone you're not"
Reaffirming the commitment to be genuine and not pretend to be someone else.
