Brand new start
Regretful Echoes: Unraveling the Shadows of a Broken Past
Lyrics
Dragged myself to places where I used to meet you
Reflecting on the effort to revisit places associated with past meetings with the person.
Guided by the secret hope that maybe you would be there alone
Driven by the secret hope that the person might be found alone at those places.
Turns out that the rumours I had heard about you
Discovering that rumors about the person were true, leading to a surprising revelation.
Suddenly unfolded and I saw you with my perfect clone
Witnessing the person with someone who closely resembles or imitates the speaker.
Yeah, I know that I wished you could find another me
Acknowledging the desire for the person to find happiness with someone similar to the speaker.
But did he have to be so much like another me
Expressing surprise or disappointment that the person's new companion is too similar to the speaker.
And though I was the one who couldn't wait to be free
Realizing that, despite wanting freedom, the speaker did not anticipate this specific outcome.
This wasn't something that I wanted to see
Expressing the emotional impact of witnessing the person with a doppelganger.
I know I gave no reason to depart
Acknowledging that the speaker provided no valid reason for ending the relationship.
I know my bad decisions broke your heart
Recognizing that the speaker's poor choices caused heartbreak for the person.
I know my massive ego kept us apart
Admitting that the speaker's inflated ego played a role in keeping the two apart.
And most likely destroyed any chance to build
Speculating that the speaker's actions likely ruined any chance of starting anew.
A brand new start
Summarizing the desire for a fresh beginning but acknowledging its unlikelihood.
If regrets were lethal I'd be down six feet below the level
Using a metaphor, stating that if regrets were fatal, the speaker would be deeply affected.
Of the streets you walk each day on your way home
Comparing the speaker's emotional state to being below the level of the person's daily life.
I told myself that freedom was the change I needed
Initially believing that freedom would bring positive change but experiencing a dull reality.
But instead of vibrant everything has turned out so monochrome
Expressing disappointment that life has become monotonous instead of vibrant.
Yeah, I know that I wished you could find another me
Reiterating the wish for the person to find someone like the speaker but not an exact copy.
But did he have to be so much like another me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the striking similarity between the speaker and the new companion.
And though I was the one who couldn't wait to be free
Acknowledging the irony that, despite wanting freedom, the speaker is bothered by the outcome.
This wasn't something that I wanted to see
Expressing the emotional impact of witnessing the person with a doppelganger.
I know I gave no reason to depart
Admitting that the speaker provided no valid reason for ending the relationship.
I know my bad decisions broke your heart
Recognizing that the speaker's poor choices caused heartbreak for the person.
I know my massive ego kept us apart
Admitting that the speaker's inflated ego played a role in keeping the two apart.
And most likely destroyed any chance to build
Speculating that the speaker's actions likely ruined any chance of starting anew.
