Neon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The valley of dreams
Burns to the floor in the backseat
Coke and crown
Soaked in my memories
All of the dumb shit I've seen
Eleven to seven
I'm the funnest times you've ever had
Is it hell is it heaven
Meet up now for a night drive, yeah
With the windows down on the 105
And I sing, "Oh"
Oh, stacking up my house of cards
Gonna watch 'em as they fall apart
Rollin' on the floor
In the candy store
They call me crazy
But crazy's my new best (friend)
Yeah, trippin' out in paradise
Gonna watch it as it all collides
Can't sleep no more
It's a perfect storm
They call me crazy
But crazy's my new best
Friend, friend, friend
My new best
Friend, friend, friend
Sun comes up
Stumbling home
Buzz wearing off in the taxi
Jack and Coke
Soaked in my bones
Always forever a black sheep
7-Eleven
By the house you held your kick back at
Was the funnest times we've ever had
Is it hell is it heaven
We don't care if we live or die
With the windows down on the 105
And I sing, "Oh"
Oh, stacking up my house of cards
Gonna watch 'em as they fall apart
Rollin' on the floor
In the candy store
They call me crazy
But crazy's my new best (friend)
Yeah, trippin' out in paradise
Gonna watch it as it all collides
Can't sleep no more
It's a perfect storm
They call me crazy
But crazy's my new best
Friend, friend, friend
My new best
Friend, friend, friend
My new best
(Friend)
(Friend)
(Friend)
My new best, my new best
Oh, stacking up my house of cards
Gonna watch 'em as they fall apart
Rollin' on the floor
In the candy store
They call me crazy
But crazy's my new best (friend)
Yeah, trippin' out in paradise
Gonna watch it as it all collides
Can't sleep no more
It's a perfect storm
They call me crazy
But crazy's my new best
Friend, friend, friend
My new best friend
The lyrics of Neon Trees's song "New Best Friend" depict the wild and reckless lifestyle of the singer, who seems to be living for the moment without caring about the consequences. The first verse mentions a valley of dreams that burns down in the back-seat, which alludes to the destruction caused by drug and alcohol abuse. The singer also mentions being soaked in memories of dumb things they've seen, suggesting that they have been a witness to some reckless behavior.
The chorus of the song seems to be a reflection of the singer's mindset. They sing about stacking up their house of cards, which is a metaphor for their reckless lifestyle that is sure to fall apart eventually. They also mention rolling on the floor, in the candy store, which further emphasizes the theme of indulgence and recklessness. The singer knows that they seem crazy to others, but they embrace it and even consider their craziness as their new best friend.
The second verse continues with the same theme of wildness and recklessness. The mention of stumbling home with a buzz wearing off in a taxi and being soaked in bones with Jack and Coke further emphasizes the theme of indulgence. The repetition of the line "Is it hell is it heaven we don't care if we live or die" shows the singer's disregard for their own safety and well-being.
Overall, "New Best Friend" is a song about living life on the edge, not caring about the consequences, and embracing one's own craziness.

Sun goes down
The end of the day is approaching
The valley of dreams
The place where hopes and aspirations reside
Burns to the floor in the backseat
All the dreams are shattered in the dark corner
Coke and crown
Cocaine and whiskey - the fuel for the night
Soaked in my memories
Lost in recollections of past experiences
All of the dumb shit I've seen
All the foolish things that were witnessed
Eleven to seven
From the late night until the morning
I'm the house you hold your kickback at
I am the place where parties take place
I'm the funnest times you've ever had
I am the source of the most enjoyable memories
Is it hell is it heaven
We don't know if it's good or bad
Meet up now for a night drive, yeah
Let's get together and go for a ride in the dark
With the windows down on the 105
Driving with the windows open on the highway 105
And I sing, "Oh"
Expressing my feelings with an exclamation
Oh, stacking up my house of cards
Building a fragile structure of hope
Gonna watch 'em as they fall apart
Intending to witness the inevitable failure
Rollin' on the floor
Lying on the ground laughing
In the candy store
Being surrounded by temptations and pleasures
They call me crazy
People think I am insane
But crazy's my new best (friend)
But I embrace this madness as my companion
Yeah, trippin' out in paradise
Enjoying this surreal experience in a perfect place
Gonna watch it as it all collides
Observing the moment when everything comes crashing down
Can't sleep no more
Unable to find peace and rest
It's a perfect storm
A disastrous combination of circumstances

Stumbling home
Walking unsteadily while going back home
Buzz wearing off in the taxi
The effect of alcohol and drugs is waning down while traveling by taxi
Jack and Coke
Whiskey and Coca-Cola, a popular alcoholic drink
Soaked in my bones
The substances have penetrated deep inside the body
Always forever a black sheep
Always regarded as the odd one out

Adjacent to the place where the party was held
Was the funnest times we've ever had
The most enjoyable moments were spent there

We are indifferent towards our well-being
Friend, friend, friend
Emphasizing the importance of friendship
My new best

All my friends
They're different people
Anxious like the Ocean in the storm
When we go out
Yeah, we're electric
Coursing' through our bodies til we're warm
And why mess up a good thing baby?
It's a risk to even fall in love
So when you give that look to me
I better look back carefully
'Cause this is trouble
Yeah, this is trouble
I said, ooh ooh
You got me in the mood mood
I'm scared but if my heart's gonna break
Before the night will end
I said, ooh ooh
We're in danger
Sleeping with a friend
All my friends
Stay up past midnight
Looking for the thing to fill the void
I don't go out
Much like I used to
Something about the strangers and the noise
And why leave when I got you baby
It's a risk but babe, I need the thrill
I never said you'd be easy
But if it was all up to me
I'd be no trouble
Yeah, we're in trouble
I said, ooh ooh
You got me in the mood mood
I'm scared but if my heart's gonna break
Before the night will end
I said, ooh ooh
We're in danger
Sleeping with a friend
Sleeping with a friend
We are both young
Hot blooded people
We don't wanna die alone
To become one
It could be lethal
Sleeping with a friend
All my friends
All my friends
All my friends
All my friends
Oh I said, ooh ooh
You got me in the mood mood
I'm scared but if my heart's gonna break
Before the night will end
I said, ooh ooh
We're in danger
Sleeping with a friend
Sleeping with a friend
(All my friends)
If my heart's gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh ooh
We're in danger
Sleeping with a friend
Thumb up so you can sing along :V
@AwesomeFolds
This is the kind of song you'll see kids in the future leaving comments on like "ugh music today sucks so much. I wish they still made songs like this? Totally born in the wrong generation."
@MillennialJesus
Very true
@UtubeMaster30001
So true. Every generation will say the exact same thing about the previous one no matter what subject:current state of society, pop culture, etc.
@prettyrosezAG
AwesomeFolds not exactly, I think that you still need to give this song a couple of more years because it was published in early 2014 and its late 2016 right now but there will be people commenting that in a couple of years for sure
@lassejensen4525
I kinda doubt it tho. I don't think this is original enough.
