Don't be afraid
I just wanted to see the sun
Hold it the one last time
I just wanted to touch the sky
Wanted to feel the rain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lauri's song "New World" speaks about the desire to experience the world one more time before leaving it. The first line, "Don't be afraid," could be interpreted as a reassurance to someone who may be hesitant to explore and take risks. The next few lines, "I just wanted to see the sun, Hold it the one last time, I just wanted to touch the sky," demonstrate the singer's desire to experience the beauty and awe-inspiring nature of our world before departing.

The line "Wanted to feel the rain, The shine, One more time," reinforces this desire for experience and connection even if it might mean facing some discomfort or challenge along the way. The lyrics suggest that the singer has perhaps been going through a difficult period but still seeks to find the light and hope in the world. It can also be interpreted as celebrating the beauty of life and nature and emphasizing the importance of experiencing them to the fullest.

Line by Line Meaning

Don't be afraid
Do not feel fearful or intimidated

I just wanted to see the sun
I merely desired to observe the sun

Hold it the one last time
Grasp onto it for the final opportunity

I just wanted to touch the sky
I just wished to make contact with the atmosphere

Wanted to feel the rain
I yearned to experience the precipitation

The shine
The radiance or gleam

One more time
For one last instance

part of the reason I enjoy this song, you could sneak it on the playlist of a industrial/ebm night and no one would notice. Fits right in, which is funny to me since his solo work generally takes a more 'pop' approach.
