New Song
Sneaky Creekans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(If we could just get away, I'm sure that things wouldn't be so bad.
And if we could find each other I'm sure things would be OK.
When you're not around I feel like someone who is not quite whole,
But then you come popping into my life it's like hey baby let the good times roll.)
And when we're coming, when we're coming, and we're coming strong.
And when you see it you believe it you can do no wrong.
But when it's gone don't follow it because you cannot retrieve.
It comes and it goes as quick as a snap.
Lay off the crap don't set the trap because this is the haps.
I'm running away from a world
(chorus)
I see you here, I see you there, every day.
But I can't get close and you can't get away
Because you're trapped in a world and you cannot escape.
You're only free in a world that I choose to create.
I'm living in a world of self dilution
Wrapped up tight in my own illusions.
But who am I to complain?
(chorus)
In Sneaky Creekans's song "New Song," the chorus repeats the idea of finding an escape from reality and the importance of a significant other. The singer wishes for a way out of their current situation, believing that if they could simply get away, things would be less difficult. They also express the sentiment that when their loved one is not present, they feel incomplete. However, when they are together, they feel invincible and like they can conquer anything. The verse following the chorus warns about the fleeting nature of these moments of happiness and encourages listeners to avoid getting trapped by their own shortcomings.
The second verse includes a sense of longing for someone who is unattainable. The singer sees their loved one frequently but cannot seem to make a connection, and they assume the other person feels equally stuck. Though they are both trapped in their separate worlds, the singer believes they can create a new reality together. They then reflect on their own issues with self-doubt and realize they may not be in a position to judge anyone else for their shortcomings.
Overall, "New Song" conveys a sense of wanting to escape from reality and find comfort in relationships. However, it also recognizes the fleeting nature of happiness and urges listeners to avoid getting trapped in their own negative patterns of thinking.
