New World Order
Pagan’s Mind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arrival of unknown existence
Approaching closer
Disconnecting understanding
To be free
Somewhere lost in time I'm dreaming
And my lifeline is closing in
Echoes in time
We're left behind
To understand
This mystery haunts me
Seeking, finding, codes entwining
Somewhere deep inside me
Racing through my soul
Freed now, Unchained
Alive again
Coded minds forever
Key within
Inside your mind
Back to their reign
Lights are fading
They finally arrived
To The New World Order
Analyzing humans being
Standing up against the light
Facing fear
Somewhere lost in time I'm dreaming
And my lifeline is closing in
Freed now unchained
Coded minds forever calling
Key within
Inside your mind
The opening lines of Pagan's Mind's "New World Order" set the stage for an apocalyptic confrontation between humanity and a mysterious, seemingly other-worldly force. The crimson skies suggest a cataclysmic event has already occurred, and the arrival of the unknown existence only serves to deepen the sense of dread. The arrival is imminent, as the force approaches closer, and in doing so, disconnects understanding. This idea of a force that defies comprehension and threatens to plunge humanity into darkness is a recurring theme throughout the song.
The second verse returns to the idea of being lost in time and dreaming, while that lifeline grows thinner. The cryptic phrases "coded minds forever" and "key within, inside your mind" suggest that the key to humanity's survival may lie in unlocking hidden knowledge or abilities within the human consciousness. The chorus is a soaring declaration of freedom from whatever shackles have kept us imprisoned, tying in nicely with the idea of unlocking hidden potential.
The final part of the song sees humanity "standing up against the light" and facing fear head-on as the arrival of the New World Order looms. As the lights are fading, the force finally arrives and begins analyzing human beings. The song ends on an ambiguous note, leaving the fate of humanity up in the air.
