“Here’s to Starting Over” talks about the return of vocalist Danny Worsnop to the band after his infamous retirement after 2013’s From Death to Destiny. Ben Bruce talked about it to Kerrang!:
When Danny re-joined the band for the self-titled album, there was a lot of re-learning each other. It had...
[Verse 1]
I'm sick of tryna be something that I'm never gonna be
Tryna fit in a mold that wasn't meant for me
I just wanna be free to let my mind do its thing
Without the world weighing in on where my heart should've been
And who I'm supposed to be
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I draw the line
In the sand, my line
[Chorus]
Here's to starting over
Here's to no compromise, yeah
Get up or get out of my way
Here's to starting over
[Verse 2]
I'd always sworn that I'd fight to find my own way through, yeah
But the past has a way of coming back for you, oh, oh
I'm just trying to do what I was put here to do
Without the world all assuming, oh, what it is that I do
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I draw the line
In the sand, my line
[Chorus]
Here's to starting over
Here's to no compromise, yeah
Get up or get out of my way
Here's to starting over
[Post-Chorus]
I'd rather fail as me than succeed as someone else
[Bridge]
There's a world of opportunity for someone like me
I don't need you to choose my direction
I'll pave my own way, I can make my own mistakes
No matter what it takes or what it means for in the days to come
[Chorus]
Here's to starting over
Here's to no compromise, yeah
Get up or get out of my way
Here's to starting over
Here’s to Starting Over was written by Danny Worsnop & Ben Bruce & Cameron Liddell & James Cassells & Sam Bettley.
Here’s to Starting Over was produced by Matt Good.
Asking Alexandria released Here’s to Starting Over on Fri May 15 2020.
[In] “Here’s to Starting Over” there’s a beautiful bridge where Danny is talking about how he’d rather fail as himself than succeed while pretending to be someone else—and a lot of that, again, comes from where we are as a band right now.
