Dawn
De/Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lightly come, lightly go
Sick of your idealized home
I'm only pain
Not good for you
Don't follow me for
I'm lost too

Another day, another way
Once again I brave the world
In the light of things to come
It takes more to turn me on

And when the day is dawning
I leave it all behind
And when your world is calling
I leave it all behind

With a crying eye

And when the day is dawning
I leave it all behind (with a crying eye)
And when your world is calling
I leave it all behind (with a crying eye)

And when the day is dawning
I leave it all behind




And everything you're falling for
I leave it all behind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of De/Vision's song A New Dawn depict a sense of detachment and disillusionment from societal ideals, as the singer expresses a disinterest in conforming to the normative expectations of an idealized home. The opening lines "Lightly come, lightly go / Sick of your idealized home / I'm only pain / Not good for you" suggest a lack of investment or attachment to conventional societal norms and expectations. The singer distances themselves from the listener, warning them not to follow as they are lost themselves.


The chorus takes on a more emotional tone, indicating a desire to detach oneself from the struggles and expectations of daily life: "And when the day is dawning / I leave it all behind / And when your world is calling / I leave it all behind / With a crying eye." Here, the singer admits to experiencing an emotional impact from leaving, perhaps indicating feelings of guilt or sadness at the thought of leaving behind loved ones. However, the desire to leave everything behind suggests an overall lack of fulfillment or satisfaction with their current circumstances.


In summary, "A New Dawn" speaks to the disconnect between societal expectations and individual desires, and the desire to break free from those expectations to pursue one's own path. The song is a reminder that it is important to prioritize personal fulfillment and happiness over conformity to societal norms.


Line by Line Meaning

Lightly come, lightly go
I am not fully committed and might leave anytime


Sick of your idealized home
I am tired of the perfect facade you present


I'm only pain
I am the source of suffering and agony


Not good for you
I am not the right choice for you and will harm you


Don't follow me for
Do not come after me, it's not worth it


I'm lost too
I am just as lost as you are and don't have the answers


Another day, another way
Each day is a new opportunity and challenge


Once again I brave the world
I face the world and its challenges with courage


In the light of things to come
With the awareness that the future holds new possibilities


It takes more to turn me on
It requires significant effort to excite me


And when the day is dawning
As a new day begins


I leave it all behind
I choose to move on from my current situation


And when your world is calling
When you ask me to stay


With a crying eye
I feel sadness and regret as I depart


And everything you're falling for
Everything you find exciting and promising
