This track is one of The Black Lips' more upbeat and poppier songs on this album and in their catalog.
In the liner notes of the album, the band explains the song’s message:
Every man or woman has got to start over. For some starting over is getting a new and better job, home, or family. For other...
[Verse 1]
I gotta keep running (I'm starting over)
I do for fun and (I'm starting over)
I'm low and I love it (I'm starting over)
Gotta keep gunnin' (I'm starting over)
[Chorus]
Well, it's just a wasted year
I'm doing my time
If things don't go right I'll drink some more beer
And I'll blow out my mind
[Verse 2]
Well I'm lucid (I'm starting over)
Stop acting stupid (I'm starting over)
Where the fuck is my cupid (I'm starting over)
Gotta stop juicin' (I'm starting over)
[Chorus]
Well, it's just a wasted year
I'm doing my time
If things don't go right I'll drink some more beer
And the things will be fine
[Verse 3]
My wounds won't stop oozing (I'm starting over)
Tired of boozing (I'm starting over)
Gotta stop choosing (I'm starting over)
Gotta quit losing (I'm starting over)
[Chorus]
Well, it's just a wasted year
I'm doing my time
If things don't go right I'll drink some more beer
And I'll blow out my mind
[Verse 4]
Will I do this (I'm starting over)
Gotta consume it (I'm starting over)
Gotta keep moving (I'm starting over)
Gotta stop losing (I'm starting over)
Starting Over was written by Cole Alexander.
