New Born
✔ Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Link it to the world
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
Soulless is everywhere

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Muse's song "New Born" are full of vivid imagery and emotional depth. The song echoes a sense of disillusionment with the world, and a desire to break free from the constraints of society. The opening lines, "Link it to the world, link it to yourself, stretch it like a birth squeeze", suggest an act of creation and connection, as if the singer is urging the listener to assert their own identity and link it to the wider world. The reference to a "birth squeeze" implies a painful process of growth and transformation, a feeling that is echoed throughout the song.


The lyrics also touch on themes of hidden pain and bitterness, and the difficulty of reconciling one's own feelings with the expectations of the world. The line, "The love for what you hide, the bitterness inside, is growing like the new born", seems to suggest that the singer is grappling with intense emotions that they can't fully express or reconcile. This is further underscored by the repeated refrain, "When you've seen too much too young, soulless is everywhere", which hints at a sense of disillusionment or loss of innocence.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes more and more defiant, urging the listener to "destroy the spineless" and break free from the constraints of societal expectations. The lines, "Just break the silence, 'cause I'm drifting away, away from you", suggest a sense of isolation and disconnection, as if the singer feels alienated from those around them.


Overall, "New Born" is a haunting and powerful song that captures the complexity of human emotions and the struggle to find meaning and connection in a world that can often feel alienating and harsh.
