Always Begin

Circa Survive

Never wanted to beg for you
I never wanted to ask anyone for their help
I know the one I got
Don't know exactly what I want
I'm just making a fatal mistake, from my show

There is always a face you'll make
Whenever you don't believe (I need you there)
And I don't know what I want from you
I can't tell if I lost anything that I need

Always begin before you'd ever prepare
Never think twice about
Nothing will come until you're already there
Never think twice about it all

I never wanted to take from you
Love everything that you wanted me to have safe
I know it wasn't true (you know exactly what I want)
And I'm just making it way too fucked up for myself

There is a face you'll always make (that tell me)
Whenever you don't believe (I need you there)
And I don't know what I want from you (could choose)
I can't tell if I lost anything that I need

Always begin before you'd ever prepare
Never think twice about
Nothing will come until you're already there
Never think twice about

I know a thousand ways to go (never know)
That is no way of living though (let you know)
Always begin before you ever prepare
Never think twice about it all

I made my bed
Now I live in my doubt
I'll change my mind
And all the ways I breathe

There are a thousand ways to go (never know)
Let go of everything you know (please tell me )
Give up on everything you think you need (let me know)
Let me show (please tell me)

Always begin before you'd ever prepare
Never think twice about
Nothing will come until you're already there
Never think twice about it all

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about the push-pull in every relationship & how that element can make or break it. What divides us can be what eventually conquers us & sometimes it can't be stopped.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
