A Brand New Life
Panama Wedding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gunna sell my shares
Get away from the daily rates, and hide somewhere
Drop my clothes at the Good Will
in the box downtown
Get away for a while tonight
and figure it out.
Cuz I didn't know
I was sold
Yeah, I didn't know
This was the ending
I was sold
So I said
Baby,
Lets start a brand new life
Cuz I need a change, I need a change.
Baby,
Lets start a brand new life
Yeah
Cuz everyday feels just the same.
Wanna live on the North Shore
Wanna cut my hair
Find a wife that I like, have some kids
and a dog named bear.
Buy a house in the suburbs
With a shared back yard
Lease a car
Get some TV screens
and a DVR.
Cuz I didn't know
This was the ending
I was sold
Yeah, I didn't know
This was the ending
I was sold.
Baby,
Lets start a brand new life
Cuz I need a change, I need a change.
Baby,
Lets start a brand new life
Yeah
Cuz everyday feels just the same.
Now I'm havin a break down.
Waitin for the money to come.
But I'm tired.
Oh having to signal
Just a twety minutes of fun.
Yeah.
Cuz I didn't know
This was the ending
I was sold
Yeah, I didn't know
This was the ending
I was sold.
Baby,
Lets start a brand new life
Cuz I need a change, I need a change.
Baby,
Lets start a brand new life
Yeah
Cuz everyday feels just the same.
Cuz everyday feels just the same.
Lets start a brand new life.
Yeah.
Cuz everyday feels just the same.
The lyrics to Panama Wedding's "A Brand New Life" give listeners a look into the singer's desire for a radical life change. The song opens with the singer expressing his plan to abandon his current lifestyle, including selling his shares in a business and donating his clothes to Goodwill. Frustrated with the monotony of his life, he dreams of moving to the North Shore, owning a house in the suburbs, and starting a family. The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's desire for change, as he repeatedly urges his hypothetical partner to "start a brand new life" with him.
It's clear that the singer is tired of the routine that his life has become, and believes that a drastic upheaval will provide the necessary shift to create a life worth living. The song hints at a sense of disillusionment with the American Dream, and encourages listeners to consider their own desires for a fulfilling life. Ultimately, the song provides a hopeful message: that it's never too late to start over and create a life that feels authentic and invigorating.

I'm surprised you guys aren't more popular. This is nice music.
Tech guy
This sucks
Siren Network
@Tech guy why does this matter to me specifically?
Tech guy
@Siren Network this is awful music, only reason I found it is because they play it where I work and it's horrible trash.
Siren Network
@Tech guy your straw man argument doesn't actually answer the question. Why do I specifically need to know? Is it purely for the interaction? If you didn't comment it on someone else's thread it would have been less relevant I guess. Needless to say you haven't changed my opinion, you're just giving the video more views which is what I wanted tbh.
Tech guy
@Siren Network do you always ask people why they reply to your comments? I'm just telling you this music is awful and you have a horrible taste in music that's all. There's no higher reason I'm commenting. It's simple.
