Newborn Faith
Kill the Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or a perpetual maze
I'm what victory chase
I'm their ghost the vision
Their blindness as my guidance
Stellar guard of no-man
I welcome you to my mind
Dear welcome into my life
Without you all
Am I now worth this present
Am I now here for real
As asked I will obey
And I will bow
I'm your new phenomenon
Your newborn faith
Desire for vengeance for hope
Oh I'm crowned
And the weight of my throne
Is so illusive
Hold my reflection up high
Make me immortal
If I walk on water could I fly
Divine permission
If I stand in brave like a hero
I have become your fame
I won't your fame
Welcome to the mourning
And the blessing
And to all those
Touching insights
Move on as if you've never
Seen the terror
As your own delight
A day that counts
A day that won't
A man must stay silent
At the presence of his host
Stand the beauty
Of this madness
Upon the altar
(And bow to death)
I'm right here
I'm what you will fear
How dare you
To question any of this
I am whatever you lack
I am the beast that is back
I am all your god's soul prey
What have you done
To my mind
What have you done
To my eyes
The gravity of your mistake
Is too vast
At the end I'll need you
At the end I'll lead you
We shall meet as our
Reconciliation
I'm your new phenomenon
Your newborn faith
Desire for vengeance
For hope
The lyrics of Kill the Romance's song "Newborn Faith" are complex and multi-layered. The singer begins by describing themselves as both a predator and a maze, suggesting that they are a formidable and perhaps unpredictable force. They also describe themselves as a guide to victory, but in the same breath call themselves "their ghost," suggesting a complicated relationship to the people they are addressing. The singer goes on to describe themselves as a "Stellar guard of no-man," which might suggest a kind of neutral third party observing the action from afar. However, this is quickly subverted by the invitation for the listener to enter the singer's mind and life. The final stanzas describe the singer's power and their desire for worship and adoration from their followers. The overall effect is both unsettling and captivating, drawing the listener into a world of power dynamics and twisted morality.
The lyrics of "Newborn Faith" can be read in a number of ways. On one level, they can be seen as a meditation on power and control, with the singer positioning themselves as a godlike figure with the power to shape reality. On another level, they can be seen as a commentary on the nature of belief and faith, with the singer using religious language to describe their own power and influence. Ultimately, however, the meaning of the song is left somewhat ambiguous, with the listener invited to explore their own interpretations of the singer's words.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm the feast to their prey
I am the target that my enemies are after
Or a perpetual maze
Or I am an unfathomable mystery
I'm what victory chase
I am what people seek when they desire a win
I'm their ghost the vision
I am the apparition that is haunting their minds
Their blindness as my guidance
Their lack of insight helps me make my way
Stellar guard of no-man
I am a watchful protector for no one in particular
I welcome you to my mind
I invite you to explore my thoughts and ideas
Dear welcome into my life
I am pleased to have you become part of my existence
I don't know what I should do
I am uncertain of the course of action I should take
Without you all
Without all of you
Am I now worth this present
Do I now deserve what I have been given
Am I now here for real
Do I actually exist in this reality
As asked I will obey
When I am requested to do so, I will comply
And I will bow
And I will show respect by lowering my body
I'm your new phenomenon
I am the latest new thing that you are enamored with
Your newborn faith
Your trust and belief in me is newly formed
Desire for vengeance for hope
You seek both revenge and hope
Oh I'm crowned
Oh, I have obtained power and status
And the weight of my throne
And the burden of my authority
Is so illusive
Is difficult to grasp or understand deeply
Hold my reflection up high
Reflect positively on me and my accomplishments
Make me immortal
Make me stand the test of time and become unforgettable
If I walk on water could I fly
If I can do impossible things, could I do even more impossible things
Divine permission
Permission granted by a higher power
If I stand in brave like a hero
If I show courage and bravery like a hero
I have become your fame
My presence and accomplishments have brought you fame
I won't your fame
I do not want your fame
Welcome to the mourning
Welcome to the sadness and grief
And the blessing
And the positive thing that comes from it
And to all those
And to everyone else
Touching insights
Profound realizations
Move on as if you've never
Keep moving forward as if you had never
Seen the terror
Experienced the extreme fear
As your own delight
As something that brings you joy or pleasure
A day that counts
A day that is significant or meaningful in some way
A day that won't
A day that won't be significant in any way
A man must stay silent
A man must not speak up
At the presence of his host
In the face of his superior
Stand the beauty
Perceive the beauty and value
Of this madness
Of this insanity or irrationality
Upon the altar
On the platform where offerings are made
(And bow to death)
(And pay respect to the end of life)
I'm right here
I am present and available
I'm what you will fear
I am what will make you afraid
How dare you
How could you, when it is not your place or your right
To question any of this
To doubt or show suspicion towards any of what I have said or done
I am whatever you lack
I am whatever it is that you feel you are missing
I am the beast that is back
I am the ferocious creature that has returned
I am all your god's soul prey
I am the ultimate target that your deity is fixated on
What have you done to my mind
What have you done to influence my thoughts and beliefs
What have you done to my eyes
What have you done to make me see things differently
The gravity of your mistake
The seriousness and impact of what you did wrong
Is too vast
Is far-reaching and widespread
At the end I'll need you
By the end, I will require your assistance
At the end I'll lead you
By the end, I will be the one guiding you
We shall meet as our reconciliation
We will come together and make amends
Desire for vengeance for hope
You want both revenge and hope
