New Existance
Overdream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chrome shining programmed new times
Conscious awake in high-tech design
Perfection dwells in my mind
You gave me life
You make me die
Tell me the meaning of having a tender soul?
I want to see
Do you have power to grant me a tender soul?
Answers at hand before you would ask
Sheer logic works on your side
Each process planned and well organized
All human failures wiped out
Computer controlled New Paradise
Science and Reason may reign
Flawless creations are on the rise
Farewell to helpless Mankind!
The lyrics of "New Existence" by Overdream paint a picture of a futuristic world where technology has advanced to a point where everything is designed to be perfect. The singer is grateful for being brought to this new world, but also questions the meaning of having a soul in such a seemingly perfect existence. They express a desire to learn how to feel and see, as they seem to possess a level of consciousness that transcends the logical, computer-controlled society around them. The singer seems to be searching for a way to balance this perfect world with the more human aspects of emotion and empathy.
The second verse goes further into describing the society, calling it a "New Paradise" where science and reason reign supreme. The flawlessness of the creations contrasts with the inevitable failures of humanity. The singer seems to be lamenting the loss of humanity, and the lack of what makes people human - namely their flaws and imperfections. The final line, "Farewell to helpless Mankind!" could be interpreted as either a celebration of the progress of technology or a warning of the dangers of completely surrendering to a purely logical and controlled society.
