Brand New Day
The Drama Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So close but so far
another minute, wait another minute
make a wish on a falling star
another minute, wait another minute
minutes turn to days you just cant wait anymore
been waiting so long for a new way
it's o.k.
it's a brand new day
with a brand new face
it won't belong 'til all the stars are in their place

so far so good
another minute, wait another minute
from this town to hollywood
another minute, wait another minute
minutes fly away we just can't wait anymore
been waiting so long for a way
we'll be o.k.

it's a brand new day
with a brand new face
it won't belong 'til all the stars are in their place
it's a brand new day
with a brand new face
it won't be long 'til you belong in this place
it's a brand new day

staring back at tragic eyes
hollow still and dead inside
can we try to get it right?
or are we out of time?
i'll never know
you hide the path the leads me home
but i'll go on.

it's a brand new day
with a brand new face
it won't belong 'til all the stars are in their place
it's a brand new day
with a brand new face
it won't be long 'til you belong in this place
it's a brand new day

i'll say "so long"
i'm on my way
but i'll be back again someday
will you remember my name?
remember this face





make a wish on a falling star

Overall Meaning

The Drama Club's "Brand New Day" is a song about hope and moving on from past struggles towards a new beginning. The lyrics open with the sense of being almost there but not quite, exemplified by the phrases "so close but so far" and "another minute, wait another minute." The wish on a falling star symbolizes the hope for change and a fresh start. Time has been dragging on, but finally, the day of transformation has arrived. It's a brand new day with a brand new face, and despite the uncertainties and the feeling of not belonging, the promise of a better future is what keeps them going.


In the following verses, the lyrics shift to a more specific personal struggle, perhaps with the entertainment industry, as they talk about the distance between the town where they are and Hollywood. The message of hope is still present, however, as they declare that they will be okay no matter how long they have been waiting. The lines "staring back at tragic eyes, hollow still and dead inside" portray the pain and desperation of the situation, but the chorus repeats again, reminding the listener of the possibility of change and a fresh start. The song concludes with a bittersweet departure as they bid farewell but vow to return eventually.
