New World
Mountains vs. Machines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what is at the end of our fears
Your home's on fire
Trying to put it out with tears
In a great big fucking cloud
We lost ourselves
Looking for diamonds in the sky
Trying to get high like Lucy
And it's so confusing
I don't know what we're doing
But it's trouble brewing
How can we be so stupid
Just want to love you through it
I want to love, I want to love
I want to love you through it
Hey new world, hey new world
It's your world
Hey new world, hey new world
It's your world
Will you hold my hand
Or will you take my life
You wash my back
While you are holding the knife
You know we've all been wounded
But we don't need excuses
Before it all gets ruined
Who do we think we're fooling
How can we be so stupid
Just want to love you through it
I want to love, I want to love
I want to love you through it
Hey new world, hey new world
It's your world
Hey new world, hey new world
It's your world
Hey new world, hey new world
It's your world
Hey new world, hey new world
It's your world
Hey new world, hey new world
It's your world
Hey new world, hey new world
It's your world
I just want to love you, I just want to love you
Oh new world
How can you be so stupid
I don't know what we're doing
New world
The lyrics of Mountains vs. Machines' song "New World" convey a sense of frustration and confusion about the state of the world and the actions of humanity. The opening lines, "So we're burning down, Tell me what is at the end of our fears," suggest that something destructive is happening and the singer is questioning the motives behind it. The image of a home on fire, being put out with tears, symbolizes the futile attempt to rectify the situation through emotional vulnerability rather than taking practical action.
The following lines, "In a great big fucking cloud, We lost ourselves, Looking for diamonds in the sky, Trying to get high like Lucy," depict a sense of aimlessness and escapism. The "great big fucking cloud" represents the clouded judgment and confusion that has enveloped society. The reference to "diamonds in the sky" and getting high like Lucy implies the pursuit of happiness and fulfillment through external, possibly unhealthy means, instead of addressing the root problems.
The chorus, "Hey new world, hey new world, It's your world," suggests a calling out to the collective consciousness of humanity. It highlights the shared responsibility for the state of the world and the need to take ownership of it. The uncertainty and internal struggle continue in the lines, "Will you hold my hand, Or will you take my life, You wash my back, While you are holding the knife." Here, the singer is torn between seeking reassurance and protection, but also recognizing the potential danger and betrayal that may come from those closest to them.
The repeated line, "How can we be so stupid, Just want to love you through it, I want to love, I want to love, I want to love you through it," expresses a deep desire to find love and connection amidst the chaos and confusion. It reflects the singer's willingness to navigate the difficulties and challenges of the world in order to support and care for others. The final line, "New world," serves as a summation of the overall theme, pointing to the constant evolution and unknown future that lies ahead, with humanity continuously grappling to understand and find its place within it.

So we're burning down
We are destroying everything
Tell me what is at the end of our fears
What will we find when we overcome our fears
Your home's on fire
Your world is in chaos
Trying to put it out with tears
Trying to fix it through emotions and sadness
In a great big fucking cloud
Amidst chaos and confusion
We lost ourselves
We became lost and disconnected
Looking for diamonds in the sky
Searching for something valuable but unattainable
Trying to get high like Lucy
Trying to escape reality like Lucy in the sky with diamonds
We're trying to fight, we're losing
We are struggling and not succeeding
And it's so confusing
The situation is overwhelming and bewildering
I don't know what we're doing
I am unsure of our actions
But it's trouble brewing
A problem is forming
How can we be so stupid
Why are we making foolish choices
Just want to love you through it
I want to support and care for you during this
I want to love, I want to love
I desire to offer love and affection
I want to love you through it
I want to support you through this
Hey new world, hey new world
Hello, new world
It's your world
This world belongs to you
Will you hold my hand
Will you offer support and connection
Or will you take my life
Or will you cause harm and destruction
You wash my back
You pretend to help me
While you are holding the knife
But you are secretly plotting against me
You know we've all been wounded
We have all experienced pain and hurt
But we don't need excuses
But we should not make excuses for our actions
Before it all gets ruined
Before everything is destroyed
Who do we think we're fooling
Who do we think we are deceiving
How can we be so stupid
Why are we making foolish choices
Just want to love you through it
I want to support and care for you during this
Hey new world, hey new world
Hello, new world
It's your world
This world belongs to you
Hey new world, hey new world
Hello, new world
It's your world
This world belongs to you
Hey new world, hey new world
Hello, new world
It's your world
This world belongs to you
Hey new world, hey new world
Hello, new world
It's your world
This world belongs to you
Hey new world, hey new world
Hello, new world
It's your world
This world belongs to you
Hey new world, hey new world
Hello, new world
It's your world
This world belongs to you
I just want to love you, I just want to love you
I simply want to offer love and care
Oh new world
Oh, new world
How can you be so stupid
Why are you making foolish choices
I don't know what we're doing
I am unsure of our actions
New world
The new world we are facing
