New Life
Lets Grow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That birds are singing and children playing
While flowers rise from a flame
And that a tree's swing is caused by pain
The day the codes are stigmatized
Was the day when fear was instilled
Brains, hearts and morals sterilized
Now die for freedom
So you can freely rot in a ditch
Kill for peace
And breathe (the) human waste
But there starts another life
While the survivor still sees the bloody knife
The guts, the skulls, a carcass sight
I hope a new life will do right
In "New Life" by Let’s Grow, the verses have a powerful message about how the world seems to be full of chaos, pain and suffering while highlighting the contrast that nature seems to be still functioning harmoniously, with birds singing their songs, flowers blooming, and children playing. The song talks about how the current situation has caused people to lose their faith in humanity and the belief system that once held them together. The line "Brains, hearts and morals sterilized" is a reflection of how the world has become devoid of compassion, empathy and thoughtfulness, and how materialistic gains have become the only goal.
The song paints a picture of a world that has gone wrong, and the bridge provides a sense of hope for a new life. The lyrics "But there starts another life, while the survivor still sees the bloody knife, the guts, the skulls, a carcass sight, I hope a new life will do right" suggest that although there may be pain, and the mess of the past still lingers, the hope is that with new life comes a chance for a better future. The song seems to be urging people to take a stand for what they believe in, to fight for their beliefs, and not to blindly follow what they are told to do.
Overall, "New Life" is a song that highlights the possibilities of change even in the face of despair. It showcases the contrast between the natural world and the human world, urging people to reflect on their actions and their beliefs.
