New Faith
SOiL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An even eye can tell wrong from right
We just fade away
God damn tell me what's your plan
So, I will never stop to question why
Each and everyday
Heaven sent, ya need more
Everybody's gotta rock right outta here
See the old faith, Feel the new faith
Everybody's gotta rock right outta here
See the old face, Know the real face
Feel the real faith
Fly high, Cut a dove in your brain
Exhale with the taste of everyday
We just fade away
Each and everyday
Scream loud with the pain of yesterday
Stand proud for yesterday has gone away
It just fades away
Heaven sent, ya need more
Hell's sure, I'm yours
I'd die, Ten Fold
I'm sure, I'm yours
In these lyrics, SOiL reflects on the fragility of human existence and the struggle to find meaning in life. There is a sense of urgency in the opening lines as the band highlights the importance of having a plan and discerning between right and wrong. However, in the next line, they acknowledge that no matter how hard we try to hold on to our plans and beliefs, we eventually fade away.
The chorus seems to suggest that there is a new faith that people need to embrace in order to escape the uncertainties of life. The old faith is no longer relevant, and there is a need to recognize the real face of things. The themes of spirituality and the search for a higher power are prominent in this song, as reflected in the references to heaven and hell.
The verses also touch on the idea of self-destructiveness and the struggle to reconcile the past with the present. The image of cutting a dove in your brain suggests a self-destructive tendency, while the lines "scream loud with the pain of yesterday" and "stand proud for yesterday has gone away" illustrate the internal conflict between holding on to past pain and moving forward.
In summary, "New Faith" is a song that addresses the human struggle to find meaning and purpose in life amidst the fragility and uncertainty of our existence.

This is one of my favourite SOiL songs from the album "Scars" I love listening to it, makes me feel good especially when we approach towards the end where he repeats the chorus several times. It's so stand up party like as well as kick ass rock this shit styled. Gotta love it :))
