Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much too young, young
Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth?
You can't come down to earth
You're swelling up, you're unstoppable
'Cause you've seen, seen
Too much too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'Cause I'm drifting away
Away from you
Yeah, link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze
And the love for what you hide
And the bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
Too much too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'Cause I'm drifting away
Away from you
Oh, oh, woah
The lyrics of "New Born" by Muse delve into the themes of insecurity, isolation, and disillusionment. The opening lines "Link it to the world, link it to yourself, stretch it like a birth squeeze" exhort the listener to make connections and be part of something bigger than themselves. However, the subsequent lines reveal a sense of bitterness and emotional turmoil as the singer struggles with their inner demons.
The lines "The love for what you hide, the bitterness inside, is growing like the new-born" suggest that the singer's emotions are raw and intense, like those of a newborn baby. The metaphorical use of childbirth creates an image of pain and a sense of newness and innocence. The repeated reference to seeing too much too young hints at traumatic experiences that have left the singer jaded and disconnected.
The chorus is a plea for action and connection: "Destroy the spineless, show me it's real, wasting our last chance to come away, just break the silence, 'cause I'm drifting away, away from you." The singer is asking for someone to prove their worth and break the silence that is causing them to drift away from human connection.
Overall, "New Born" is a haunting exploration of the human psyche and the struggle for connection in a world that can be cruel and isolating.

Link it to the world
Connect your thoughts with the world
Link it to yourself
Unleash your thoughts to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
Extend it forcefully and uncomfortably like a birth
The love for what you hide
You still have love for things you keep hidden
The bitterness inside
There's a bitterness brewing inside of you
Is growing like the new born
It's growing rapidly like a new born baby
When you've seen, seen
Once you witness, witness
Too much too young, young
You've seen too much at a young age
Soulless is everywhere
People lack soul and spirit
Hopeless time to roam
There's a sense of despair when wandering
The distance to your home
The distance to your familiar space
Fades away to nowhere
Slowly diminishes to nothingness
How much are you worth?
What is your true value?
You can't come down to earth
You can't ground yourself
You're swelling up, you're unstoppable
You're expanding and can't be stopped
'Cause you've seen, seen
Because you have witnessed, witnessed
Too much too young, young
You've seen too much at a young age
Soulless is everywhere
People lack soul and spirit
Destroy the spineless
Eliminate the weak-willed
Show me it's real
Prove that it's authentic
Wasting our last chance
We're losing our final opportunity
To come away
To leave and escape
Just break the silence
Speak up and end the quietness
'Cause I'm drifting away
Because I'm gradually drifting apart
Away from you
Distant from you
Oh, oh, woah
Expressing strong emotion
