How did the universe shift from "dark matter dominated" to "dark energy dominated"?

In order to get dark energy to dominate, wouldn't you first need another form of energy to push the expansion until dark energy could dominate? Otherwise I don't understand how the universe could shift from having a decelerating expansion to an accelerating expansion. Is there any analogy that could help understand this?
