NEW WORLD
Sinith Hall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A shot in the dark
Like a breeze in the night
What is left now must die
Cutting the wings
Stripped from your flight
The dove will rise once again
Or a beautiful new sin
The sky has turned a dark hue
All colors astray
A hospital blue
Flashing lights coming through
New prophecies have finally come true
Trust in my gift to you
Shut your eyes
In this house we stand alone
The dove will rise once again
To choose a brave new world
Or a beautiful new sin
Now it's been lost it once again
The picture falls in line
Swept away by the wind
The lyrics of Sinith Hall's song "New World" depict a situation where the world as we know it has been destroyed, and a new world is emerging from the destruction. The imagery of something falling from the sky, a shot in the dark, and a breeze in the night, all contribute to a sense of suddenness and unpredictability. The cutting of wings and stripping of flight is symbolic of a loss of freedom, perhaps even a loss of innocence. However, there is hope in the image of the dove rising once again. The dove is a symbol of peace and renewal, choosing between a brave new world or a beautiful new sin. The choice is between something bold and exciting, or something alluring but potentially dangerous.
The second half of the song speaks to the listener more directly, with the singer offering their gift of trust. The listener is asked to shut their eyes and trust this gift in a house where they stand alone. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for finding comfort and guidance within oneself, even when the world around you is uncertain. The song ends with the picture falling in line and being swept away by the wind, which could represent a letting go of the past and embracing the new world.
Overall, "New World" is a song that speaks of transformation, hope, and the potential for new beginnings. It encourages listeners to look beyond the destruction and chaos to find the possibility of a better future.
