New Day
Anouk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We come out when the world's at rest
It's all good when we lay down on the grass
Me and my friends, we celebrate
The time of our lives
Making love under the trees, lay
In my arms, yeah, it's all free
Skinny dipping in the river flow
No, we're not ready to go home
Oh no
Oh baby come on
Sun goes down
The water feels fine
Oh baby come on
Give it all I'm gonna make you mine
Oh baby come on
Sun goes down
The water feels fine
Oh baby come on
Give it all and let me make you mine
It's okay when we make a mess
Ain't got time for any stress
No escape is where we belong
We're making shadows in the hot hot summer sun
Perfect day, let's take a chance
Watch your feet, how they can dance
Love and learn, yeah it's a new day
It's way too short to let it waste away
Oh baby come on
Sun goes down
The water feels fine
Oh baby come on
Give it all I'm gonna make you mine
Oh baby come on
Sun goes down
The water feels fine
Oh baby come on
Give it all and let me make you mine
Love, learn, it's a new day
Everyday is a new day
Oh baby come on
Sun goes down
The water feels fine
Oh baby come on
Give it all I'm gonna make you mine
Oh baby come on
Sun goes down
The water feels fine




Oh baby come on
Give it all and let me make you mine

Overall Meaning

"New Day" by Anouk is a song that exudes a carefree spirit and highlights enjoying the simple pleasures of life while surrounded by friends. The song begins with the imagery of a group of friends coming out when the world is at rest, signifying their departure from the mundane and ready to embrace their own form of entertainment. They lay down on the grass, celebrating the time of their lives and engaging in activities such as making love under the trees or skinny dipping in the river flow. These activities represent the joys of living in the moment with no worries holding them back, free to revel in their youth, and a sense of liberation.


The chorus is an invitation to join in on the fun, wanting to share the experience of living in the moment with a lover. The lyrics convey a sense of impulsive passion and an unwillingness to let go, mirroring the theme of letting loose and enjoying the now. This is punctuated by the lines "Love and learn, yeah, it's a new day/ It’s way too short to let it waste away," which encapsulates the idea of embracing the present moment and its fleeting nature. The overall effect is one of nostalgia for youth, carelessness, and a sense of embracing the here and now.
