Why Don't We Start from Here
Embracing Life's Great Escape with Lucy Spraggan
Lyrics
Every single wish she made
Expressing the fulfillment of wishes made by a female character
From shooting stars to birthday cakes
Referencing various wishes, from common ones (shooting stars) to celebratory moments (birthday cakes)
Every lucky charm she'd saved
Highlighting the collection of charms for a significant event or change
Was for the great escape
Implies that these wishes and charms were all directed toward a desire for a major change or escape
She crossed her heart and hoped to die
Using a solemn vow to emphasize commitment to a decision
Said farewell and closed her eyes
Symbolic act of bidding farewell and closing one's eyes, possibly indicating a departure or transformation
Knew that there was more to life
Acknowledging a belief that there is more to life than the current situation
In the great escape
Reiterating the theme of seeking a significant change or escape
She said
Introducing the character's verbalized thoughts
Why don't we start from here?
Repeatedly suggesting the idea of starting anew or making a fresh beginning
Why don't we start from here?
-Why don't we start from here?
-Why don't we start from here?
-(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repeating the call to action with an enthusiastic "Let's go"
(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-With every penny that she'd made
Emphasizing the willingness to invest money for a journey or escape
She took a bus to board a plane
Using transportation symbols (bus, plane) to signify a departure
Not a single plan in place
Highlighting the lack of detailed plans for the escape, suggesting spontaneity
For the great escape
She's not wealthy but she's rich
Contrasting wealth with the richness of knowledge and experience
Read all the books on how to live
Stressing the importance of reading and learning about life
And the final chapter said
Referring to a conclusion in a book that aligns with the idea of a significant escape
This is the great escape
Reiterating the concept of a grand escape as a life goal
She said
Repeating the character's expression of the desire to start anew
Why don't we start from here?
Reiterating the call to action for starting afresh
Why don't we start from here?
-Why don't we start from here?
-Why don't we start from here?
-(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repeating the enthusiastic "Let's go" as a motivational push
(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-She caught a falling leaf
Using nature imagery (falling leaf) to symbolize capturing a moment and waiting for positive change
And held it in her palms
-And waited for the sun to shine
-She caught a falling leaf
-And held it in her palms
-And waited for the sun
-She said
Repeating the call to action with added vocalization ("ooh") for emphasis
Why don't we start from here?
-Why don't we start from here?
-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Why don't we start from here?
Reiterating the desire to start anew, accompanied by enthusiastic encouragement ("Let's go")
Why don't we start from here?
-(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-(Let's go)
Why don't we start from here?
Continuing the theme of starting afresh, with variations in vocalization and intensity
(Let's go)
-Why don't we start from here?
-(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-(Let's go)
-Why don't we start from here?
Concluding with a final push for a fresh start, emphasizing the enthusiastic call to action
(Let's go)
-Why don't we start from here?
-(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
-(Let's go) ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
