New Life
Fort Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now it's gone, and now it's gone, and now it's gone
'cause if I had known about tomorrow I wouldn't be drowning my sorrows
But it's not enough, no its not enough, no its not enough
So bury the hatchet now my son
Or we're gonna be done I swear
So bury the hatchet now son
So pick me up a new life
'cause I'm not happy with this, not happy with this at all
Are you gonna jump
Or let it pass by wondering why I've not got it all
So pick me up a new life
So no one's gonna shut me out
There's nothing left to talk about
We decide to sink or swim my friends
So pray that it's not the end
And I will never leave you like this again
No I will never treat you like this again
No I will never see you like this again, no, no
And I will never leave you like this again
No I will never treat you like this again
No I will never see you like this again, no, no
And we pray that it's not the end
So pick me up a new life
'cause I'm not happy with this, not happy with this at all
Are you gonna jump
Or let it pass by wondering why I've not got it all
So pick me up a new life
The lyrics of Fort Hope’s song “New Life” seem to describe a state of confusion and disillusionment, with the singer expressing a desire for a fresh start. The first verse suggests that the singer has lost something that used to be important but now holds no meaning. If they had known about tomorrow, they wouldn't be “drowning their sorrows”. There is a sense of regret and a feeling of being trapped in a situation they can't escape from. The second verse includes the phrase “bury the hatchet”, implying a need for forgiveness and reconciliation in order to move on from the past.
The chorus expresses the need for a “new life”, suggesting that the singer wants to start over and leave their current existence behind. They are not happy with their current situation and are wondering whether they should take action to change it or just let it pass them by. The final verse seems to be about the importance of sticking together in difficult times and not giving up hope that things will get better. The repetition of the phrase “I will never leave you like this again” suggests a bond between the singer and the listener, and a commitment to finding a way forward together.
Line by Line Meaning
There's something I'm keeping that's lost all its meaning
I am holding onto something that has lost its importance to me
And now it's gone, and now it's gone, and now it's gone
Whatever I was holding onto is now lost forever
'cause if I had known about tomorrow I wouldn't be drowning my sorrows
If I had foreseen the future, I would not be drinking to forget
But it's not enough, no its not enough, no its not enough
Even though I am trying to forget, it is not helping me cope
So bury the hatchet now my son
Let go of whatever is causing us to argue, my child
Or we're gonna be done I swear
If we don't reconcile, our relationship will be over
So pick me up a new life
Help me start afresh
'cause I'm not happy with this, not happy with this at all
I am unhappy with my current situation
Are you gonna jump
Are you going to take a risk and change your life?
Or let it pass by wondering why I've not got it all
Or will you watch life pass you by and regret not achieving more?
So no one's gonna shut me out
No one is going to exclude me from their life
There's nothing left to talk about
There is no more need for conversation
We decide to sink or swim my friends
We must make a choice to fail or succeed, my friends
So pray that it's not the end
Hope that this is not the end of our journey
And I will never leave you like this again
I promise to never abandon you in your time of need
No I will never treat you like this again
I vow to never mistreat you again
No I will never see you like this again, no, no
I will never let you suffer like this again
And we pray that it's not the end
Together we hope that this is not the end, but a new beginning
