Emery - The Beginning Lyrics






Wait
Don't go
I've been walking through these woods shivering in these new clothes
And I
I wanted to see
The world through eyes
But they were never meant for me

It was placed just right, to catch the eyes, we waited completely naked
But never underestimate the lie, that kind, that breaks it, the whole life that you tasted

I thought I heard her say
I don't want to go
But the words hurt more than I thought through
And nothing leaves you quite as cold
As my father's back turned on me
When you take someone down the garden path
You take someone for all they have

And death
Was only a word
But to a jealous heart that has made its plans
It was the soil that gave it birth
And the sun it’s light there on me
Shone through the clouds and upon my feet
To the ground that we chose as a door to leave

Die for one man
I was so in love. I was just so young and so in love.
How could I say no to the hand that was built for me
I saw it so clear, like the first day you laughed or said my name
I couldn't say no, but we both know, we both know

We would have been changed like the days of our lives
(The illusion was ours, it was joy it was rapture)
Oh this place is a hell with its death and goodbyes

And you can't stop yourself when you’re dreaming of days
But these pieces will fade until there's only this place
.
In this world that’s to come, it's only the fear

Was there ever a moment, just a moment the truth could touch our lips
Would it have mattered, the harvest will come

If I would have chosen another, it would have meant I loved him more than you

  4. S.... c....

    Can someone PLZ explain why he says "if i wouldve chosen another.. it wouldve meant i loved ----- HIM ----- more than you" ---- instead of "HER." ... i know he aint gay?????!?!?!?!?!

    S.... c....

    Oh, I had just read someones interpretation of the lyrics and it made enough sense that I ran with it. Can you link me to Toby talking about the song more?

    S.... c....

    Toby went on Matt Carter's "Break It Down" Podcast and explained how "You Were Never Alone" is a concept album based on Biblical stories. They purposefully didn't explain it at first so people could enjoy the album in a pure way. Toby explained all the songs and meaning in a few eps of Break It Down.

    Check out this link, at about the 12:00 mark to hear about The Beginning being based off of Adam and Eve.

    Yeah, it's about Adam struggling with taking the fruit from Eve and choosing her over God. "If I would have chosen another (Fruit), It would have meant I loved Him (God) more than you (Eve).

    I love the line: "How could I say no to the hand that was built for me"

    S.... c....

    He's Christian, so I'm assuming he's referring to God.

    Dude. This just sent me back in time. It has this nostalgic early 2000's feeling to it. I was just waiting for Toby to just jump at the end.. This is great

  8. h.... ....

    Toby's beard was so glorious.

  9. J.... R....

    Awesome!!!

  10. J.... T....

    I love your music guys, but you may be better off just putting up a blank slate or something.  Some of these music videos are...more amateur than what I saw high school kids making 8 years ago.

    J.... T....

    @James T Emery: "Yo! We Do What We Want! :D"

    J.... T....

    @James T rude as hell

    J.... T....

    @James Wightman Emery is my all time favorite band, I've been following them forever. I have nothing against their music, but this is a music *video* that just looks poorly produced.

    J.... T....

    @James T would you literally rather look at a black screen? regardless of whether or not these videos win any awards for amazing production, doing an entire video album on a 0 dollar budget isn't something to scoff at.

    Amazeballs!
