Happy New Year
Simone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of our time
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I
The lyrics to Simone's song "Happy New Year" reflect on the emotions and reflections that come with the end of a year and the start of a new one. The song begins with a sense of finality, as the champagne has run out and the fireworks are over. The mood is somber, as the singer and their companion feel lost and blue. The morning after the party feels gray and unlike the vibrant yesterday. It is at this moment that the singer realizes it is time to bid farewell to the past year and embrace the new one.
The chorus of the song conveys a hopeful message, wishing for a vision of a world where every neighbor is a friend. It speaks to the desire for unity and harmony among all people. The lyrics acknowledge the need for hope and determination, emphasizing that if we don't have those qualities, we might as well give up and die. The song implies that despite the challenges and foolishness of humanity, we must continue moving forward and striving for a better world.
In the second verse, the lyrics take a more introspective turn. The singer reflects on the arrival and thriving of a brave new world amid the ashes of our lives. It points to the fleeting nature of our dreams, which now lie dead and become nothing more than confetti on the floor. The end of the decade is seen as a milestone, and the lyrics acknowledge the uncertainty of what lies ahead in the future.
Overall, "Happy New Year" is a contemplative and thought-provoking song that invites listeners to reflect on the past, embrace hope for the future, and strive for a more inclusive and peaceful world.

You and I
Referring to both the singer and the listener.
Sometimes I see
Occasionally, I perceive.
How the brave new world arrives
The arrival of an optimistic and promising future.
And I see how it thrives
I witness its growth and prosperity.
In the ashes of our lives
Emerging from the ruins and hardships of our existence.
Oh yes, man is a fool
Indeed, humans can be foolish and make poor decisions.
And he thinks he'll be okay
However, people often believe they will be fine despite their mistakes.
Dragging on, feet of clay

Never knowing he's astray
Unaware of being lost or misguided.
Keeps on going anyway...
Nevertheless, they continue moving forward.
Seems to me now
It appears to me at this moment.
That the dreams we had before
The aspirations we once held.
Are all dead, nothing more
They have all perished, leaving nothing behind.
Than confetti on the floor
Just remnants of celebration scattered on the ground.
It's the end of a decade
A decade has come to a close.
In another ten years time
Looking ahead to the next ten years.
Who can say what we'll find
No one can predict what awaits us.
What lies waiting down the line
The unknown future that lies ahead.
In the end of our time
As our time on Earth concludes.
