New Union
Ann Beretta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuts to the quik but won't change anything
Separation from authority we're down and out and we don't know ehy
Desperation gets the best of me it cuts so deep but won't change anything the tide stays high and we don't know why
We're impossible lunatics on the rise
Lose ourselves in everything in our disguise
We're the devil's advocates & there's no compromise
New Union...Old Glory...Get's the best of Me
The lyrics of Ann Beretta's song New Union seem to be speaking about the frustrations and disillusionment felt by the singer towards the authority and the tide of societal change. The singer seems to be questioning the status quo and why things are the way they are. They see themselves as impossible lunatics, willing to fight against the norm and lose themselves in the pursuit of change. Their way of life seems to be a disguise from the world as they are the devil's advocates, representing those who are disenfranchised and voiceless.
The chorus of the song speaks to the idea of a new union and old glory. The singer seems to be calling for a new way of thinking and a new sense of community. They believe that inspiration can only get them so far, and that desperation will cut deep but fail to change anything. The singer seems to be calling for a change that will bring about a union that is grounded in values that the old glory of the past was built on.
