Brave New World
Max Goedecke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I woke up in a world of misery
'Cos, I didn't know how it should use to be
When airplanes shoot up with their wings of liberty
But down on earth nobody seems to be free

'Cos our once so clear symbols fade like the black oil into the ocean waves
Like the dove in the sand and Mr. Tambourine Man
God, we walk along a foggy shore and the red pale sun seems to draw

A warning sign on my road again

Will I say it was in my hands?

When Volcano Fires sweep through the earth
And the people might see it's such a shaking world
When the sea bed roars and a monster rises
You will trust me when I say
We are bound to fall

In such a brave new world
We are living in

Have we forgotten the things that we used to do
When we were young, watching the moon beneath the sun
So, stop staring on your Iphone there's so much time that you lose
For the world outside, she's in need for you to fight

'Cos we - the youth of modern times - need a newspeak to turn the things alright
May we overcome war, drift and foolish pride
'Cos we've built our world on drifting sands, and if we don't change, she slides through our hands
Have we forgotten who we are in world that's made of scars

In the skin of mother nature, deep they are

When Volcano Fires sweep through the earth
And the people might see it's such a shaking world
When the sea bed roars and a monster rises
You will trust me when I say
We are bound to fall

When Volcano Fires sweep through the earth
And the people might see it's such a shaking world
When the sea bed roars and a monster rises
You will trust me when I say
We are bound to fall

When Volcano Fires sweep through the earth
When Volcano Fires sweep through the earth
When Volcano Fires sweep through the earth

You will trust me when I say
We are bound to fall
In such a brave new world

In such a brave new world
We are livin' in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Max Goedecke's song "Brave New World" explore themes of societal disillusionment, environmental destruction, and the need for change. The song begins with the singer waking up in a world filled with misery, realizing that they didn't know how it should have been. The mention of airplanes shooting up with their wings of liberty signifies the potential for freedom, but the reality on the ground is that nobody seems to be truly free. The once clear symbols of hope and peace are fading, just like black oil into the ocean waves. The reference to the dove in the sand and Mr. Tambourine Man alludes to the loss of innocence and the struggle for humanity in a world filled with confusion and chaos.

The lyrics continue to emphasize the dire state of the world. The mention of volcano fires, a shaking world, and a monster rising from the sea bed symbolize catastrophic natural disasters that may occur due to human actions. There is a plea for trust, indicating that the consequences of our actions may lead to a fall. The lyrics urge listeners to remember the things that were once important, like watching the moon beneath the sun, and to step away from their phones and engage with the world outside. The youth of modern times are called to rise up and create a "newspeak" to set things right, to overcome war, drift, and foolish pride. The song suggests that if we don't change, the world will slip through our hands, reminding us of our connection to Mother Nature and the need to protect her.

Line by Line Meaning

I woke up in a world of misery
I found myself in a sorrowful and troubled world

'Cos, I didn't know how it should use to be
Because I was unaware of how it was supposed to be

When airplanes shoot up with their wings of liberty
When airplanes soar through the sky, representing freedom

But down on earth nobody seems to be free
However, people on the ground don't appear to be truly free

'Cos our once so clear symbols fade like the black oil into the ocean waves
Because our formerly distinct symbols lose their significance and disappear, just like oil merging into the sea

Like the dove in the sand and Mr. Tambourine Man
Similar to the image of a dove in the sand and the character of Mr. Tambourine Man, our symbols are becoming fragmented and irrelevant

God, we walk along a foggy shore and the red pale sun seems to draw
We wander on a hazy shoreline, where the weak red sun creates an ominous sign

A warning sign on my road again
A signal cautioning me as I continue my journey

Will I say it was in my hands?
Will I admit that I had control over it?

When Volcano Fires sweep through the earth
During the cataclysmic eruption of volcanic fires across the planet

And the people might see it's such a shaking world
And individuals may finally realize the truly unstable state of the world

You will trust me when I say
You will have faith in my words

We are bound to fall
We are destined to collapse

Have we forgotten the things that we used to do
Have we neglected the actions we once took

When we were young, watching the moon beneath the sun
When we were youthful, observing the moon during daylight

So, stop staring on your Iphone there's so much time that you lose
Hence, cease fixating on your iPhone, as you waste valuable time

For the world outside, she's in need for you to fight
Because the external world urgently requires your intervention and defense

'Cos we - the youth of modern times - need a newspeak to turn the things alright
Because we, the younger generation of today, require a new language to rectify the situation

May we overcome war, drift, and foolish pride
May we surpass warfare, aimlessness, and foolish arrogance

'Cos we've built our world on drifting sands, and if we don't change, she slides through our hands
Because we constructed our world on unstable foundations, and if we don't change, it will slip away from our grasp

Have we forgotten who we are in a world that's made of scars
Have we disregarded our identity in a world filled with wounds and imperfections

In the skin of mother nature, deep they are
These scars run deep within the surface of Mother Nature

You will trust me when I say
You will have faith in my words

We are bound to fall
We are destined to collapse

In such a brave new world
In this courageous and unfamiliar world

We are livin' in
We are currently residing
