New Again
Fay Wildhagen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby don't bother me
My god admits the failure
That you've always been
You think you're writing poetry
It never touches me
I know your faces perfectly
Lay down your love
Act like you're new again
Show me your love
I'm not a fool my friend
I wanna live, so let me go
Let me live, don't tell me how
To feel, I'm like the wind and snow
I need to live
So I'll let go
You got a car
You're on TV
Stuck, n bound to be
A broke mind, a hollow ghost
What others want to see
Lay down your love
Act like you're new again
Show me your love
I'm not a fool my friend
I wanna live, so let me go
Let me live, don't tell me how
To feel, I'm like the wind and snow
I need to live
So I'll let go
Go wherever you go
Leave me here
When all is over
I will meet you where
There's new beginnings
And the sky is clear
Take me with you
I'll be here
I wanna live, so let me go
Let me live, don't tell me how
To feel, I'm like the wind and snow
I need to live
So I'll let go
In the song "New Again" by Fay Wildhagen, the lyrics express a strong sense of independence and self-determination in the face of external pressures to conform. The first verse challenges the idea of superiority and reveals that the singer's belief in her own worth and her faith in a higher power that recognizes everyone's failures equally. The second verse takes on the idea of artistic genius and suggests that the singer sees past the facade of supposed brilliance, recognizing the faces and masks that hide the insecurities of others, and demanding that people show their true selves.
The chorus of "New Again" emphasizes the singer's desire to live on her own terms and to experience life fully. She calls on those around her to act with authenticity and to treat her in the same way. She refuses to be told how to feel and demands the freedom to go where the wind and snow take her. The closing lines of the song suggest that the central struggle is between the urge to be with others and the desire for individuality, to strike out on one's own and explore the world in one's own way, but to always remain open to new possibilities and perspectives.
