but I am older now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me solutions
but I am sober now
all that you could ever
but you will not
you will not come down
offer me new propositions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to knowever think to ask me how or why
well offer me new institutions
some place I can clear up my mind
open up and swallow this mother fucker
you will not
you will not survive
I have seen the difference
but I am older now
well you will take what you want from me
but you will never win
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible to know
ever think to ask me how or why
I have seen it now
I never will come down
wish I could hold the photograph
yet this scene is old
I never felt this cold
wish I could hold from me...
now
cause everything is different now
though it seems so impossible
ever think to ask me how or why
offer me new institutions
here's something that you can rely
well you will take position
you will not
you will not survive
The lyrics of OneSideZero's song "New World Order" depict a sense of disillusionment and defiance towards the establishment. The singer seems to have had a realization about the world and how it functions, leading to a change in their behavior and outlook. They express that they have grown older and wiser, and are not easily swayed by the false promises of those in power.
The singer is asking for real solutions and new propositions that will enable them to clear their mind and make a positive change in their life. However, they seem to acknowledge that the powers that be are not interested in helping them, and may even be actively working against them. Despite this, the singer remains resolute and says that they will not be defeated.
In the final stanza, the singer expresses a sense of longing and nostalgia for a time before their realization. They wish they could go back to a simpler time and hold on to a memory that has now become cold and distant. The song ends with the singer reiterating that everything has changed, and that they will not be silenced or defeated.
