Gravy Train Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ahh, ahhh...
Ahh, ahhh...
Ahh, ahhh...
Tell me where you're going, I want everyone to know (and my?)
Take me to the children, let me see their smiling face again
You know that I'm to blame, so hang your head in shame
Ahh, ahhh...
Ahh, ahhh...
Ahh, ahhh...
Ahh, ahhh...
Tell me where you're going, I want everyone to know (and my?)
Take me to the children, let me see their smiling face again
The lyrics of "The New One" by Gravy Train appear to be somewhat vague and open to interpretation. From the first verse, it seems the singer is asking someone where they are going and requesting that this information be shared with others. Additionally, the singer wants to be taken to see children and witness their happy expressions once again. The second verse is a bit more cryptic, as the singer suggests that people know their name and are holding them responsible for something ("hang your head in shame"). This could suggest regret or guilt on the part of the singer, but the cause is left unclear.
One potential interpretation of these lyrics is that the singer is expressing a desire to connect with others and find joy in their company. The mention of children and their smiles could represent a longing for innocence and playfulness, which the singer may have lost in some way. The reference to shame and blame in the second verse could suggest that the singer has made mistakes or harmed others in the past, leading them to seek redemption or forgiveness. Overall, the song seems to be a meditation on the human need for connection, and the difficulties we face when trying to find it.
