New Age
Bloodlines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only through the Messiah we shed our selfish ways
How do we deserve his grace
How do we fill our lives with peace
For we are the only thing keeping us from seeking him
The truth will come and we will fall to our knees begging for eternity
We are sinking into deeper darkness they have
Silenced our voice but they can′t silence our love
We are running towards the end of life
They can make us go blind but we still follow the light
And now we're free we′re stuck on the
Quicksand and there is no way back to the top
Unless you grab ahold of the spirit within you
Seek the lord while he may be found
Seek the lord while he may be found
Let your voices be heard the Messiah returns and the King will reign
The lyrics of Bloodline's song "New Age" speak to the struggle to find peace and meaning in a world full of pain and chaos. The opening lines express a sense of hopelessness and despair: "In this life we have forgotten how to bury the pain, only through the Messiah we shed our selfish ways." The idea here is that we have lost touch with our ability to cope with pain and suffering, and that only through a connection with a higher power can we find redemption.
The second stanza raises questions about how we can deserve this grace and peace, and suggests that the answer lies within ourselves. The song moves towards a more uplifting and empowering message, reminding us that our voices cannot be silenced, and that we still have the power to follow the light even in the darkest of times. The bridge urges us to seek out a spiritual connection: "Seek the Lord while he may be found, let your voices be heard."
Overall, "New Age" is a song that speaks to the human struggle for a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment, and encourages us to connect with something greater in order to find peace and meaning in our lives.
