New World
Leroy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raised the prices yesterday
At the grocery store
Reckless man hanging out front
Always against the bard
Can we ever solve these problems
In our changing world
Will our children ever get to play out in the yard
There's a new kind of world that's taking over
It's got devils, it's got angels,
Sitting on my shoulder
It's a new kind of world that's taking over
Yet no more second chances
Ain't no turning back

Living in this epidemic, population surge
Will the future of tomorrow, hoe what they deserve
How much further can we go with all these spinning wheels
And will my children recognize the world that we all build

There's a new kind of world that's taking over
It's got devils, it's got angels,
Sitting on my shoulder
It's a new kind of world that's taking over




Yet no more second chances
Ain't no turning back 3x

Overall Meaning

Leroy's song "New World" is a reflection of the many changes that happen in the world today. The song starts by calling attention to a price increase in a grocery store and a reckless man who is always against the bard. These two scenarios may seem unconnected, but they both reflect the changes that are happening in the world, and the impact it has on people. The song then poses the question of whether we can ever solve these problems in a constantly changing world, and whether our children will ever have the same freedom we had to play outside.


The second part of the song deals with the epidemic and population surge that is occurring all over the world. Leroy questions whether the future of tomorrow will be able to enjoy the same rights and privileges that they deserve. He then reflects on how much further we can go with all these spinning wheels, and if our children will recognize the world that we are building.


In summary, "New World" is a thought-provoking song that questions the direction the world is heading. The song highlights the rapidly changing world we live in, and how these changes affect the people that inhabit it. It's a call to action to create a world that is sustainable and equitable for future generations.
