此処に在る確かなリアリティー
振り返る昨日なんてくだらない
途切れない空を何処までも
影さえも映らない世界へ

喧噪に紛れて届いた覚醒の声
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)

闇を裂いて溢れ出した光り掴み掲げろ
I'm awakening in the new world

その手を伸ばしてくれたら
今すぐ君を連れていける
誰よりも高く浮かんで
手に入れた無重力地帯へ

解放の秒読みに気付いた覚醒の声
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)

研ぎ澄ました翼広げ風を集め飛び立て
暴れる鼓動時を超えて響け
I'm awakening in the new world

歪む残像溶けて流れていく
(Stand up for your final choice! Now the time of fate has come.)
描く軌跡は空を貫いていく終わらない上昇
(Fly away beyond the clouds. Will you still be in your dreams?)

闇を裂いて溢れ出した光り掴み掲げろ
求めていたこの瞬間つなげ

君がくれた声を抱いて高く高く羽ばたく

こぼれる未来眩しいくらい注ぐ
I'm awakening in the new world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of LEMON DROP KICK's song "New World" speaks about breaking away from the past and embracing the unknown future. The first verse talks about acknowledging the present reality, with no room for useless regrets about the past. The singer then invites the listener to escape to a world where they can fly freely, even their shadows can't follow, and the sky stretches infinitely. The second verse emphasizes awakening and the need to make a final, decisive choice. The darkness symbolizes the struggles one may face, but the light can be reached by grabbing and lifting it up. The awakening voice encourages the listener to spread their wings and fly higher, their heartbeats pounding to surpass time. The distorted images in the past now melt away to clear the path of unending upward motion. The chorus expresses the urgency to seize the moment and connect with the flow, seizing the voice and soaring higher with the future.
