Brand New Day
Ryan Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta get on the run again
I saw the one thing that I want
Hell bent, get outta bed
I'm throwing rocks at your window
You're tying the bed sheets together
They say we are dreaming too big
I say this town's too small
Dream
Send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
I need to break out
And make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand new day
It's the brand new day
I've taken hits like a brawler
But I'm getting back up again
And from the moment I saw her
I was hell bent with heaven sent
I'm throwing rocks at your window
We're leaving this place together
They say that we're flying too high
Well get used to looking up
Dream
Send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
I need to break out
And make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand new day
It's the brand new day
It's the brand new day
I know it's the brand new day
Come on to the brand new day
I know it's the brand new day
Dream
Send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
I need to break out
And make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand new day
It's the brand new day
The song "Brand New Day" by Ryan Star is an ode to breaking free from monotony and stagnation. The opening lines, "I stayed in one place for too long, gotta get on the run again," indicate a need for change and movement. Star then sings about seeing "the one thing that I want," and being determined to go after it, no matter what. The imagery of throwing rocks at a window and tying bed sheets together to escape adds to the sense of urgency and passion in the lyrics.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the need for a fresh start, to "break out and make a new name" and "open our eyes to the brand new day." The repetition of the phrase "dream, send me a sign" suggests a sense of hope and an openness to the possibilities that the future may hold. The final lines of the song, "I know it's the brand new day, come on to the brand new day," are an invitation to embrace change and start anew.
