New Avenues Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The nights closing in
Nine lives on the table
And fountains of gin
A new wave is crashing
Against mountains of fear
And the world, as it will
Has slipped out of gear
To the city below
When Barton is covered
In a thin sheet of snow
Perception is fleeting
Perception can break
And If I can stay conscious
Then I can stay late
My balance gone
My eyes red
Your voice
It Fills my head
Balance gone
Eyes red
Your voice
It Fills my head
With My balance gone
And both my eyes red
The only voice I hear
Is yours in my head
With My balance gone
And both my eyes red
The only voice I hear
Is yours in my head
Lights always fading
At its on pace
Can I meet you on Hess
At a quarter to 8?
Your heart might be cold,
But Hamilton's colder
I'm out of time
I'm out of order
This wind isn't blowing
The nights closing in
Nine lives on the table
And fountains of gin
A new wave is crashing
Against mountains of fear
And the world, as it will
Has slipped out of gear
My balance gone
My eyes red
Your voice
It Fills my head
Balance gone
Eyes red
Your voice
It Fills my head
With My balance gone
And both my eyes red
The only voice I hear
Is yours in my head
With My balance gone
And both my eyes red
The only voice I hear
Is yours in my head
Lights always fading
At its on pace
Can I meet you on hess
At a quarter to 8
Your heart might be cold
But Hamilton's colder
I'm all out of time
I'm all out of order

Line by Line Meaning
This wind isn't blowing
The situation is stagnant and there is no progress
The nights closing in
The darkness and uncertainty are increasing
Nine lives on the table
There are many risks and chances at stake
And fountains of gin
There is an abundance of enticements and distractions
A new wave is crashing
There is a disruptive force or change happening
Against mountains of fear
It challenges deep-rooted fears and anxieties
And the world, as it will
The world is behaving according to its nature
Has slipped out of gear
It has lost its balance and stability
Look down from the mountain
Observe from a higher perspective
To the city below
To the chaos and complexities of life
When Barton is covered
When everything is tranquil and serene
In a thin sheet of snow
In a delicate and temporary calmness
Perception is fleeting
Our understanding is transient and can change rapidly
Perception can break
Our understanding can shatter and become distorted
And If I can stay conscious
If I can remain aware and present
Then I can stay late
Then I can endure and persist
My balance gone
I have lost my stability
My eyes red
My eyes are filled with tiredness or tears
Your voice
Your words and presence
It fills my head
It dominates my thoughts and emotions
With my balance gone
With my stability lost
And both my eyes red
And my eyes filled with exhaustion or sadness
The only voice I hear
Your voice is the only one I pay attention to
Is yours in my head
Your words echo in my mind
Lights always fading
Brightness and hope are consistently diminishing
At its own pace
According to its natural rhythm
Can I meet you on Hess
Can I see you at a specific location, indicating a desire to connect
At a quarter to 8
At fifteen minutes before 8 o'clock
Your heart might be cold
You may seem distant or emotionally detached
But Hamilton's colder
But the surroundings or circumstances are even harsher
I'm out of time
I have run out of time
I'm out of order
I am disorganized or not functioning properly
My balance gone
I have lost my stability
My eyes red
My eyes are filled with tiredness or tears
Your voice
Your words and presence
It fills my head
It dominates my thoughts and emotions
With my balance gone
With my stability lost
And both my eyes red
And my eyes filled with exhaustion or sadness
The only voice I hear
Your voice is the only one I pay attention to
Is yours in my head
Your words echo in my mind
Lights always fading
Brightness and hope are consistently diminishing
At its own pace
According to its natural rhythm
Can I meet you on Hess
Can I see you at a specific location, indicating a desire to connect
At a quarter to 8
At fifteen minutes before 8 o'clock
Your heart might be cold
You may seem distant or emotionally detached
But Hamilton's colder
But the surroundings or circumstances are even harsher
I'm all out of time
I have completely run out of time
I'm all out of order
I am extremely disorganized or not functioning properly
