A New World
Oblivion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll never pretend
Knowing any truth
Although some things are certain
My heart beats beats beats
And it's pretty sure
I can breathe
We never had, so much knowledge
Yet we never felt

So lost
A future, has never been
So hard
This is a twenty first century complaint
You lie
Under
This life's
Pressure

Substitute of a better world, refusing progress
I wish I was
Born in Hell
Being part of the lucky ones
Watching them suffer
We are all part of this
You walk your path, calling and sharing
While leaving poors along the road
Empathy is no one's philosophy
This is a new world
I'll never pretend
Knowing any truth
Although some things are certain
My heart beats beats beats
And it's pretty sure
I can breathe
Twenty first
Century
Made us all be
Memory
This is a twenty first century complaint
You lie
Under
This life's
Pressure
Substitute of a better world, refusing progress
I wish I was
Born in Hell
Being part of the lucky ones
Watching them suffer
We are all part of this
You walk your path, calling and sharing

While leaving poors along the road
Empathy is no one's philosophy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oblivion's song "A New World" convey a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the current state of the world, particularly in the context of the 21st century. The singer begins by acknowledging that they will not pretend to know the ultimate truth about life, but there are certain things they are certain of - their heart beating and being able to breathe. This could be interpreted as a reminder that despite the chaos and uncertainty, there are still basic fundamental aspects of life that can be relied upon.

The lyrics then go on to express the conflicting emotions of living in a time where we have unprecedented knowledge and yet feel increasingly lost. The lyrics describe the future as being harder than ever before, suggesting that advancements in technology and society have not necessarily made life easier or better.

The song also touches on the theme of empathy, or the lack thereof. The lyrics criticize the idea that empathy is not embraced as a guiding philosophy in this new world. The singer observes that people walk their own paths, calling and sharing their own experiences, but often neglect the struggles of others, leaving the poor and marginalized behind.

Overall, "A New World" captures a sense of frustration with the current state of affairs, highlighting the conflicting emotions and complexities of living in a time where progress can feel stagnant and empathy is often overlooked.
