About This Track

'Begin Again' by Andy Shauf is an alternative song from the album 'The Party' (2016). The lyrics cast a self-aware, theatrical narrator, telling someone to take a bow and play the leading man, with the looming, apocalyptic notion that the end is decided by them. The refrain-led insistence to “Begin again” turns the performance into a plea for reset, even as the imagery of a brilliant light suggests a final dissolution.

"Begin Again" is a track by Andy Shauf, from the album The Party, released 19th May 2016. The track is 3:18 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Andy Shauf.

Lyrics

Begin Again

Begin again
This time you should take a bow at the very end
It's quite an act you put on
Wait til the cameras roll
You're the leading man
In a film where the end of the world
Is decided by you
Whenever you choose

Oh from the sky
A brilliant light will dissolve us all

Begin again
And tell me all about the one that you love
And all about the other one
That you've got on the side
I don't give a damn
About you fooling around behind sherry's back
It's just the one that you found
Is the one that i need

Oh from the sky
A brilliant light will dissolve us all

Listen to this halfwit
Spilling his guts after a bottle of wine
Thought this would be a good time
Now i can't finish my drink
Let him laugh it off
Hey it's a city the size of a dinner plate
It's hard not to overlap
What could you expect

Oh from the sky
A brilliant light will dissolve us all

Now i'm kicking leaves
Cursing the one that i love and the one i don't
I wonder who you're thinking of
