New Age
Dark Station Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In social hypothermia
Tap into my sinuses
Chemical disturbia
Utopian society
Not a place you want to be
Freedom from the enemy
Emotional identity
This is the new age
We're in a new age
If you take a look around
You'll see what I mean
True colors are showing
Are showing me
What you stand for in this world of hate
I guess this is the new age
Bury all the history
Slide into obscurity
Let's break all the conspiracies
Take advantage of naivety
Do you believe what you see
Is what you're after baby
This is the new age
We're in a new age
If you take a look around
You'll see what I mean
True colors are showing
Are showing me
What you stand for in this world of hate
I guess this is the new age
Everyone's frozen
In social hypothermia
Tap into my sinuses
Chemical disturbia
If you take a look around
You'll see what I mean
True colors are showing
Are showing me
What you stand for in this world of hate
I guess this is the new age
If you take a look around
You'll see what I mean
True colors are showing
Are showing me
What you stand for in this world of hate
I guess this is the new age
The lyrics to Dark Station's "New Age" express criticism of the current social climate, describing a "new age" that has emerged that is characterized by a "hypothermia" that pervades social interactions. The notion of social hypothermia is used to describe a lack of emotional warmth and genuineness in human interactions that is caused by a disconnection from one's emotional identity, which is further exacerbated by the presence of chemicals that disturb the natural balance of human psyches. The lyrics suggest that this is a Utopian society that no one would truly want to live in.
The song also comments on how history is being brushed aside and new conspiracies are being formed in a world of naivety. The singer challenges listeners to question the new reality they are presented with and encourages them to see beyond the surface level. Throughout the song, there is also an emphasis on the need for people to show their true colors and stand for something in a world of hatred.
Overall, the lyrics of "New Age" present a critique of contemporary social phenomenon, and advocate for a return to emotional authenticity and a critical eye towards new realities that arise, ultimately calling for listeners to take a stand for what they believe in amidst an increasingly fractured world.
