NWE
Josh Cameron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would I fade away
Who knows what I do
When i'm still awake
The key would I lose
Should I choose such fate
Its wrong
Would i give my breath away
Born so free of heart
To amplify the ring
To feel becomes
The only thing thats real
Wait till you get what you want
What you want
The only thing thats real
Starts like living
And its carried along
The only thing thats real
Serenade everything
Who knows what i do
When i'm still awake
The key would i lose
Should i choose such fate
Its wrong
Would i give my breath away
Born so free of heart
To amplify the ring
To feel becomes
The only thing thats real
Chorus
The lyrics of Josh Cameron's song NWE incorporate themes of limited freedom, identity, and the quest for personal fulfillment. The first verse questions whether the singer would choose to escape their chains and disappear without a trace or stay awake, potentially losing their only key to freedom. The lyrics suggest that freedom is not as clear cut as being unchained but involves making difficult choices. The chorus alludes to the idea that what we want is not always what is best for us, and sometimes the only thing that truly satisfies us is a genuine emotional experience.
The second verse mentions being born free-hearted to amplify the ring, which can be interpreted as emphasizing uniqueness and individuality. However, the lyrics also suggest that this freedom ultimately means being able to feel deeply, with the implication that this can lead to pain as well as joy. The repeated refrain emphasizes the idea that the "only thing that's real" is the emotional experience, and the singer expresses a willingness to give their breath away, suggesting a desire for an all-encompassing emotional connection to life.
Overall, the lyrics of NWE suggest a search for identity and fulfillment that is often hindered by the constraints of societal norms and personal fears. The repeated refrain offers a reminder that the emotional experience is the most important thing, and that true freedom means being able to express oneself honestly.
