new dawn
Above & Beyond Lyrics

Hey you! Hey you! Hey you! Hey you
Addressing someone who has wronged the singer in the past

The one who told me the worst thing I've felt in my veins
Referring to a person who hurt the singer deeply

At a moment where everybody was deeply in pain
The hurtful action occurred during a time of collective suffering

We were going in different schools
The artist and the person referenced were attending separate schools

While crying, you told me, as a fool, « The sad thing is : I won't victimise you again »
The person who caused the artist pain expressed remorse but in a hurtful way

The one who took my bagpack
Referring to a person who stole from the singer

Every school break I had to track
The singer had to search for their stolen backpack during every break

Cause you hide it in one of the fucking building trashs
The backpack was hidden in a garbage can

What did you find so funny, making me lose my time
The artist questions why the theft was seen as amusing

Searched my bag during classes, it's you I wanted to smash
The artist was angry with the person who stole from them

And look at you now, where are you
Reflecting on the current state of the person who caused the singer pain

While I'm living my best life being me
Emphasizing that the artist is happy and successful without the other person's influence

You're only one simple guy in your crew
Diminishing the other person's importance or status

I've done things you couldn't dream to see
Boasting about the singer's accomplishments compared to the other person's

Fame is only temporary (Make your dream come true)
The singer acknowledges the transient nature of fame and encourages pursuing personal goals

Being kind with others will comeback later (Comeback later)
Kindness to others will have positive consequences in the future

Crush people is not necessary (Look beyond and find the truth)
Harming others is not a necessary or productive action

A new dawn will give us the strength of getting better (Getting better)
Hope for a better future and the potential for personal growth

Being honest I thank you all
The singer expresses gratitude to everyone who has impacted their life

I wouldn't be here without your acts
Acknowledging the contributions of others to the artist's current position

We are what life give us now
Accepting the current circumstances and making the best of them

Make the best of it: only facts
Emphasizing the importance of making the most of one's situation

For some I'm a hero, for others I'm a loser
Acknowledging that people have different opinions or perspectives on the singer

Guess what: Knowing yourself is the only thing that matters
Emphasizing self-awareness as the most significant factor in one's life

Fame is only temporary (Make your dream come true)
Reiterating that fame is fleeting and personal aspirations should be prioritized

Being kind with others will comeback later (Comeback later)
Repeating the idea that kindness can have future benefits

Crush people is not necessary (Look beyond and find the truth)
Repeating the idea that harm is not a productive action

A new dawn will give us the strength of getting better (Getting better)
Reiterating the idea of hope for the future and personal growth

Hey you! Hey you! Hey you! Hey you
Repeating the opening address towards the person who caused the artist pain

Fame is only temporary (Make your dream come true)
Repeating the idea that fame is fleeting and personal goals are important

Being kind with others will comeback later (Comeback later)
Repeating the idea that kindness can have positive consequences

Crush people is not necessary (Look beyond and find the truth)
Repeating the idea that harm is not a productive action

A new dawn will give us the strength of getting better (Getting better)
Reiterating the idea of hope for the future and personal growth
