Their debut album New Earth is a new direction for the band following their 2019 EP Exposure, which acts as a primer for the eventual return to foggy club spaces where freedom and dancing abounds.
Vanity
Nuovo Testamento Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Opened your arms and let me in
Under the painted sky I won't lie
Tell you I want to begin again
When you come when you go
I can see it you let me suffer
When I'm out need to know
I'm getting wise to your ways getting wise
You're gonna sell me your lies
One more time it's for you
Then you're gonna knock on my door
Tell me more it's for you
And when you're gonna deny
Big surprise it's for you
So when I tell you goodbye
One sweet time it's for you
Here in the space we knew just us two
There was so much we didn't say
And In the time between I can see
See that you take and take again
Now your game can't be clearer
Finally I'll make you suffer
Left a kiss on the mirror
Wonder if this is what you desired
You're gonna sell me your lies
One more time it's for you
Then you're gonna knock on my door
Tell me more it's for you
And when you're gonna deny
Big surprise it's for you
So when I tell you goodbye
One sweet time it's for you
The song "Vanity" by Nuovo Testamento is a melancholic piece about a relationship that has gone sour. βUnder a Belgian moon me and you, opened your arms and let me inβ may suggest the start of a love affair, but as the song progresses, it is clear that the affair has been riddled with lies and deception. The line βWhen you come when you go, I can see it you let me sufferβ is an indication that the singer is finally wise to their partner's manipulations, and even though they still have feelings for them, they have decided to move on. The line βLeft a kiss on the mirror, wonder if this is what you desiredβ indicates that this was a one-sided relationship where the partner never really cared, and the singer has finally come to terms with it.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant. When the partner tries to come back, the singer is clear that they will not fall for it anymore. "You're gonna sell me your lies, one more time it's for you, then you're gonna knock on my door, tell me more it's for you, and when you're gonna deny, big surprise it's for you, so when I tell you goodbye, one sweet time it's for you." This chorus is an indication of the singer's newfound strength and the determination to never let themselves be manipulated again.
Overall, "Vanity" is a song about the pain of a one-sided relationship and the importance of realizing one's worth in any relationship.

Under a Belgian moon me and you
We were together under a foreign moon
Opened your arms and let me in
You greeted me with open arms
Under the painted sky I won't lie
In this picturesque moment, I can't deny
Tell you I want to begin again
I want to start over with you
When you come when you go
Your presence and absence are both noticeable
I can see it you let me suffer
You've allowed me to experience pain
When I'm out need to know
When you're not around, I need answers
I'm getting wise to your ways getting wise
I'm starting to see through your actions and intentions
You're gonna sell me your lies
You're going to try to deceive me
One more time it's for you
You're doing this for your own benefit
Then you're gonna knock on my door
After deceiving me, you'll come back
Tell me more it's for you
You'll try to manipulate me again
And when you're gonna deny
When you lie and I find out
Big surprise it's for you
The consequences are for you to bear
So when I tell you goodbye
When I say goodbye to you
One sweet time it's for you
It will be satisfying for me to do so
Here in the space we knew just us two
We shared a unique and private space
There was so much we didn't say
There were many things left unsaid
And In the time between I can see
Since then, I can see clearly
See that you take and take again
That you always take without giving
Now your game can't be clearer
Your true intentions are obvious
Finally I'll make you suffer
I'll make sure you are punished
Left a kiss on the mirror
I left a symbol of our broken relationship
Wonder if this is what you desired
I wonder if this is what you wanted all along
