Redemptive Reflections: Kerouac Kids' 'Start Again' Unveiled
Lyrics
I wasn't every girl in a red shirt or a sweater
I did not embody every girl wearing a red shirt or a sweater.
Imagining the words you said to her does not feel better
Reflecting on the words you spoke to her doesn't bring comfort.
An unforgiving smile or how you lie to your new lover
A smile that does not forgive or your deceptive words to your current lover.
I guess if I was fine I wouldn't have to think
If I were truly okay, I wouldn't have to contemplate.
About the past or the little things
Thinking about the past and small details.
Try to make it last
Attempting to make the relationship endure.
Swallow everything
Suppressing emotions and enduring difficulties.
I forgive so fast and we could start again
I forgive quickly, and we have the chance to start anew.
And that's all I want
This is my only desire.
It happened every night after you left I'd start to panic
Every night after you departed, anxiety would overwhelm me.
And though I dread the pain sometimes I think that I still want it
Despite dreading the pain, there's a part of me that still longs for it.
The light under your belt, the way it felt just for a minute
Recalling the warmth beneath your belt, the fleeting sensation.
I know I wanna help but I get stuck and think
I want to assist, but I get stuck overthinking.
About the past and the ugly things
Contemplating the past and unpleasant memories.
In the river while
Thinking about dark moments while walking upstream.
I walk up the stream
Carrying all the things that I fail to comprehend.
Carry all the things I don't understand
But that's all I desire.
But that's all I want
Wondering if Sarah's smile is truly beautiful.
But when Sarah smiles is it beautiful?
If Suzie tried, could she break down the barriers?
And if Suzie tried could she break the walls?
Did Jessie believe she was the chosen one?
And did Jessie think that she was the one?
Is that all she desires?
Is that all she wants?
When I cut my hair, it was a signal that you couldn't control me.
And when I cut my hair it was to know you couldn't pull it
The rabbit was a hare, contradictions existed, and your touch was harmful.
The rabbit was a hare, the black was white, your hand a bullet
A fist is just a gift if its true intent remains concealed.
A fist is just a gift if you don't know what else it's hiding
The mind resists, but if allowed to contemplate...
The brain wants to resist but if you let it think
Thinking about the past or minor details.
About the past or the little things
Delete the path, attempt to preserve the dream.
Or delete the path
I could let go or start again.
Try to save the dream
Because that's all I desire.
I could let it go or we'll start again
Reflecting on the option to start anew.
Cause that's all I want
This is my sole aspiration.
