New Divide
Jonathan Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect this space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that
Across this new divide
There was nothing in sight
But memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide
In every loss in every lie
In every truth that you′d deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect this space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide
The song New Divide by Jonathan Young reflects on the theme of facing the consequences of one's actions. The singer finds himself surrounded by darkness with lightning all around him, feeling lost and hopeless. He realizes that he is getting what he deserves and that fate has finally caught up with him. What comes to his rescue is the voice of someone he cares about, comforting him and giving him the strength to face the truth.
The chorus, "So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean. Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes. Give me reason to fill this hole, connect this space between. Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide," is a plea for a chance to make things right. The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to reach the truth that lies across the new divide. He wants a reason to prove himself wrong, to wash away his past memories, and to fill the empty space between him and the one he loves.
The lyrics of this song are powerful and impactful, as they convey a message of hope and redemption. It encourages listeners to face their problems head-on and to search for the truth, no matter how difficult it may be to confront it.

I remembered black skies
I recalled a time of darkness and hopelessness
The lightning all around me
The flashes of light around me that represent my pain and despair
I remembered each flash
Every time I felt pain or sadness, it was crystal clear in my memory
As time began to blur
Even though some time has passed, the memory is still vivid and feels like it happened yesterday
Like a startling sign
It felt like a wake-up call
That fate had finally found me
I felt like destiny had caught up to me
And your voice was all I heard
Your voice, offering comfort and a way out, was the only thing that mattered
That I get what I deserve
I believed that my struggles were a result of my own actions or shortcomings
So give me reason
I'm asking you to give me justification or motive
To prove me wrong
Challenge me and push me to think differently
To wash this memory clean
I want to forget the past and start over
Let the floods cross
Allow the strong emotions to come and overwhelm me
The distance in your eyes
The emotional gap between us that needs to be bridged
To fill this hole
I need something to fill the empty space inside me
Connect this space between
Bring us closer together and remove the distance between us
Let it be enough to reach the truth that
If we can bridge the gap between us, we'll be able to uncover the truth
There was nothing in sight
I couldn't see a way out of my situation
But memories left abandoned
My past was filled with forgotten or ignored experiences
There was nowhere to hide
I felt exposed and vulnerable
The ashes fell like snow
The destruction and heaviness of my past surrounded me like snow
And the ground caved in
My foundation and sense of security completely crumbled
Between where we were standing
The gap between us felt impossible to bridge
In every loss in every lie
Every failure and falsehood that I experienced
In every truth that you'd deny
Every time you refused to accept the truth
And each regret and each goodbye
Every disappointment and farewell
Was a mistake too great to hide
The consequences of our past mistakes were too big to ignore
Give me reason
I'm asking you to give me motivation to move forward
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
If we can connect and bridge our differences, we'll be able to find the truth
Across this new divide
There's a new chapter and a fresh start waiting for us if we can bridge our divide

Before Transformers, I never knew Linkin park but it all changed when I heard "New divide".
Linkin park is now one of my favorite band (RIP :,( ) and "arrival to earth" is the most beautiful OST I've ever heard.
Thank you Transformers for bringing all those musics to me and making my childhood even better.
