Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Justice's song "Newlands" convey a sense of determination and perseverance in the face of challenges. The repetition of the lines "So you're runnin' in a best of three/And you're gunnin' on the kingside, for the queen" suggests that the singer is engaged in a high-stakes competition or pursuit. The use of chess terminology, such as "kingside" and "queen," adds a strategic element to the lyrics, implying that the singer is playing a game where victory is crucial.


The repeated chorus line "New lands, trust embedded on the sand" hints at a desire for a fresh start or an opportunity to build something new. Trust, in this context, signifies the belief in oneself and in the potential of uncharted territories. The mention of the sand as the surface on which trust is embedded symbolizes the fragility and impermanence of this newfound trust.


The lines "Trust in us embedded on the sand" and "Trust embedded on the sand" indicate the importance of trust not only in oneself but also in others. It suggests that in order to succeed and explore new lands, it is vital to have trust and rely on others. This could refer to collaboration, teamwork, or the need for support and understanding from others in achieving one's goals.


The repetition of the phrase "New lands" throughout the song emphasizes the theme of exploration and venturing into the unknown. It represents the desire for growth, change, and the willingness to take risks. The song ultimately encourages the listener to embrace new opportunities, have faith in oneself and others, and strive for success in uncharted territories.
