New Light
Eve St. Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lighting up inside your drawer at home all alone
Pushing 40 in the friend zone
We talk and then you walk away every day
Oh you don't think twice bout me
And maybe you're right to doubt me but
But if you give me just one night
You're gonna see me in a new light
To meet you underneath the moonlight
Oh I want a take two
I wanna break through
I wanna know the real thing about you
So I can see you in a new light
Take a ride up to Malibu
I just wanna sit and look at you, look at you
What would it matter if your friends knew
Who cares what other people say anyway
Oh we can go far from here
And make a new world together babe
'Cause if you give me just one night
You're gonna see me in a new light
Yeah, if you give me just one night
To meet you underneath the moonlight
Oh I want a take two
I wanna break through
I wanna know the real thing about you
So I can see you in a new light
Yeah if you give me just one night
You're gonna see me in a new light
Yeah if you give me just one night
To meet you underneath the moonlight
What do I do with all this
What do I do with all this
This love that's running through my veins for you
What do I do with all this
What do I do with all this
This love that's running through my veins for you
What do I do with all this
What do I do with all this
This love that's running through my veins for you
What do I do with all this
What do I do with all this, oooh
The song "New Light" by Eve St. Jones explores themes of longing, unrequited love, and the desire for a deeper connection. The lyrics depict a woman who feels unnoticed and overlooked by the person she desires. She describes herself as "the girl in your other phone," symbolizing that she is hidden and not a priority in the person's life.
The line "Pushing 40 in the friend zone" suggests that the singer is reaching a point where she wants more than just a friendship. Despite the lack of reciprocation, she finds herself constantly engaged in conversations that ultimately lead to disappointment as the person walks away every day. She acknowledges that others may doubt her worth, but she still believes that if given a chance, she can reveal a new side of herself.
The chorus expresses her plea for a single night together, hoping that it will allow the person to see her in a different light. The mention of meeting "underneath the moonlight" adds a romantic and intimate atmosphere, creating a longing for a genuine connection beyond just surface-level interactions.
The second verse further emphasizes her desire to break through the barriers and truly understand the person she desires. She suggests going on a trip, referencing Malibu as a picturesque setting where she wants to simply observe and appreciate the person's presence. The lyrics imply that their relationship might face judgment from others, but she dismisses their opinions, emphasizing the importance of their connection.
The bridge of the song expresses the overwhelming intensity of her love for this person. The repetition of "What do I do with all this love that's running through my veins for you" highlights the depth and intensity of her emotions. It conveys the uncertainty and confusion she feels about how to handle her strong feelings and what to do with them.
Overall, "New Light" portrays a woman longing for a deeper connection with someone who only sees her as a friend. She hopes for an opportunity to show her true self and create a new world together, even if it means facing judgment from others. The song captures the emotional turmoil and passion that come with unrequited love and the yearning for a chance to be seen and understood by the person she desires.

I'm the girl in your other phone
I'm the person you keep hidden, only reaching out when it's convenient for you
Lighting up inside your drawer at home all alone
Waiting anxiously, hoping for your attention while being hidden away
Pushing 40 in the friend zone
Being stuck in a platonic relationship, longing for something more
We talk and then you walk away every day
We have conversations, but you always leave without considering my feelings
Oh you don't think twice bout me
You don't give me a second thought or consider my importance
And maybe you're right to doubt me but
Perhaps you have valid reasons to question me, but
But if you give me just one night
If you give me a chance for a single evening
You're gonna see me in a new light
You will witness a different side of me, revealing my true worth
Yeah if you give me just one night
Yes, if you offer me an opportunity for a single night
To meet you underneath the moonlight
To spend intimate time with you under the romantic moonlit sky
Oh I want a take two
I desire a second chance, a fresh start
I wanna break through
I yearn to surpass the barriers that keep us apart
I wanna know the real thing about you
I want to discover the true essence of who you are
So I can see you in a new light
So I can perceive you differently, with a deeper understanding
Take a ride up to Malibu
Let's embark on a journey to a special place like Malibu
I just wanna sit and look at you, look at you
I simply desire to be in your presence, admiring your beauty
What would it matter if your friends knew
Why should it concern us if your friends found out about us?
Who cares what other people say anyway
We shouldn't worry about the opinions of others
Oh we can go far from here
We have the potential to create a distance from our current situation
And make a new world together babe
We can build a fresh, unique reality as a couple
'Cause if you give me just one night
Because if you grant me the opportunity for a single night
What do I do with all this
How do I handle the overwhelming amount
This love that's running through my veins for you
This intense, passionate love that courses through my entire being, directed at you
What do I do with all this, oooh
How do I manage these intense emotions overpowering me, ooh
