New Life
Handsome Poets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up in flames
Blows my mind
Roll away
Rising Tides
Rainy day
You're a star
Ooooh
This is your life
Far away
I hear a voice
I can't stay
This is your life
On my way
Enjoy the ride
Far away
I hear a voice
I can't stay
This is your life
On my way
Enjoy the ride
A visual sensation
My imagination
Wish me luck and wave goodbye
Enjoy the ride
Upside down
in a games
in my palms
hall of fame
Rolling dice
vision fades
lovers eyes
in a maze
Ooooh
This is your life
Far away
I hear a voice
I can't stay
This is your life
On my way
Enjoy the ride
Far away
I hear a voice
I can't stay
This is your life
On my way
Enjoy the ride
The lyrics of Handsome Poet's song "New Life" are open to interpretation, but it seems to be a song about embracing opportunities and taking chances in life. The song begins with the idea of a "Midnight show/Up in flames" which could be interpreted as a metaphor for a dramatic change in one's life or a new beginning. The next line "Blows my mind/Roll away" suggests that this change is overwhelming, but it is possible to let go and move forward.
The next verse talks about "Rising Tides" and a "Rainy day" which can be interpreted as obstacles in life. However, the line "You're a star/Far away" suggests that there are still opportunities to shine and make a difference. The chorus repeats the phrase "This is your life" which reinforces the idea that we have the power to make our own choices and live life on our own terms. The line "On my way/Enjoy the ride" suggests that even though there may be challenges, it is important to embrace the journey and make the most of it.
The second verse mentions being "Upside down" and in a "hall of fame" which could suggest the ups and downs of success. The line "Rolling dice/vision fades/lovers eyes/in a maze" could be interpreted as the uncertainty of love and relationships. Once again, the chorus repeats the phrase "This is your life" to remind us that we are in control of our own destiny.
