At once warm and welcoming, The Start Of The End is an album quite unlike anything that The Oscillation have ever released before. Fuelled by optimism and taking stock of what’s good about life and what needs to be jettisoned, the record is a result of spiritual and physical re-charging and cleansing.
The Start Of The End is a line in the sand and one that points to a better tomorrow.
lyrics
Time after time,
I've been here before,
I got deja vu when I walked back through the door,
All over again, a lifetime to pay,
I'm paying it off and then I'm going my own way.
Around and around
Another trick of the light.
We're in a dark new age
But we can make reality alright
So don't lose faith when things get dark
Keep your head high
Because heaven is in your heart
All over again, looks like the start of the end
but it's all ok
I learned the rules to the game.
So this time round I won't be led astray
because I know where I'm going...
and I'm going my own way
It looks like the start of the end
I know where I'm going, I'm going my own way.
