Start Choppin' Lyrics

There's no goin' back to that
I'm so numb, can't even react
Didn't say it's not ok
But we aren't dealin' the same way
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
It's the last thing on my mind
Still you won't let things unwind
Spinnin' tight around your head
Can't you hear a word I've said?
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
When you call it's just not fair
It's the last thing you should share
I can't deal,
I'll let you know
Still I wish you'd let it go
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
I'm tellin' you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
I waited as long as
I could If you need it, sure I would, that's fine

[Solo]

Well, there's no goin' back to that
I'm so numb can't even react
Didn't say it's not ok
But we aren't dealin' the same way
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
I'm tellin' you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
I waited as long as I could
If you need it, sure I would, that's fine
I'm takin' away a lot of stuff
I'm tellin' you it's rough but not goodbye

[Solo]

This song is definitely about breaking up and going different ways.

"I ain't tellin' you a secret, I ain't tellin' you goodbye " - he's tired of arguing and just wants to end it right away, no goodbyes whatsoever.

"It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide" - this line kind of says (at least to me) to not blame him for what he did because he had to deal with it too.

I would have to agree with you about a break-up, but it's also the same break-up he's talking about in OUT THERE.

I'm not going back into our messed up relationship. i dont know how to feel or react to you wanting me to come back after all the shit we alrady went through. i didnt say not to tell me that, you could tell me to come back. but you have to remember we're both different and that not to get mad when i dont say i dont want to go back. im not lying to you (we're not...

i agree with jodamu start choppin, i immediately thought of chopping up weed haha & the first few lines kinda relate to be being baked

Not sure what this song is about but for a long time DJ would not play this song live. I think it was because it was a single and lots of Alt-rock bands do not want to play their singles so they do not appear to be sell outs and other such artistical-minded non-sense.

after listening a couple times, i wonder if this is about an unintended pregnancy?

My Interpretation

nah, looking at it again doesn't seem very likely
