New Day
Kimie' Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was a girl ... a girl without a name
Bought a one-way ticket on a going nowhere train (choo choo)
I was falling fast and there was nothing to grab
I reached for my man, but found one-night stands
I couldn′t catch my breath, I had nowhere to land
For three damn days, I played with the damned, yeah
I had the devil on my shoulder whisperin' lies, now I′m older
I was mixed up, but it feels like a new day is comin'

:
I'll start all over, I′ll start all over
A new day, a new day, yeah

I took a dive into the deep blue sea
And swam as fast as my broken heart could carry me
Yeah, there was a storm (there was a storm)
Yeah, there was a war (there was a war)
I left behind the tears I cried on a desert pirate shore
I couldn′t catch my breath, I had nowhere to stand
Just me and my machete, she was all that I had, yeah
I found myself in a bubble, got myself in some trouble
I was knocked down, but it feels like a new day is comin'

Repeat:

I know it′s time, 'cause I hear the songbirds hummin′
And I know it's time, ′cause I can't stop my fingers from strummin',
I hear it comin′ yeah

Overall Meaning

The song “New Day” by Kimie tells a story of a girl who was lost and aimlessly wandering through life. She felt like she had no name, direction, or purpose, and she bought a one-way ticket on a going nowhere train. She was falling fast and had nothing to hold onto as she reached for her man but only found one-night stands. The girl was trapped by her choices and felt like she couldn't catch her breath. She played with the damned, and the devil whispered lies in her ear which made her vulnerable to different temptations. However, despite being mixed up and lost, she felt like a new day was coming.


In the second verse, we see the girl making a conscious decision to take control of her life. She took a dive into the deep blue sea and swam as fast as her broken heart could carry her. In addition, she left behind the tears that she cried on a desert pirate shore. The girl was determined to start anew with her machete, her only ally. She acknowledges that she had put herself in a bubble that caused her trouble. However, despite being knocked down, she felt renewed, and it felt like a new day was coming. The girl was ready to start all over again and embrace the new beginning.

Oh good lord! the song, it just creates the right mood to be happy, content with life and live in the moment. The background is so perfect to just sit back, relax and be ourselves, a place where we can retreat to and can relax at the end of a frantic day.
