New Bohemia
TransViolet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guys in the gold pants talking new slang
Rolling through cities like a storm
Kids on the corner shaking spray paint
Making their mark on the interstate
Drawing peace signs cause life is beautiful
No ties, no fear, we're living in the minute
We came, we saw, not stopping till we get it
In waves we crash, one voice
Making headlines just for kicks
Tryna get love not tryna get rich
We're the new bohemia
We're the new bohemia
Not in it for the fame we do it for the thrill
Gonna light it up wanna change the world
We're the new bohemia
We're the new bohemia
We're the new bohemia
Kings of the sidewalk, John Wayne smooth
With curbside dreams shooting for the moon
Concrete hearts beat loud with burning truth
No ties, no fear we're living in the minute
We came, we saw, not stopping till we get it
Just love, just light, we'll start a revolution
In waves we crash, one voice
Making headlines just for kicks
Tryna get love not tryna get rich
We're the new bohemia
We're the new bohemia
Not in it for the fame we do it for the thrill
Gonna light it up wanna change the world
We're the new bohemia
We're the new bohemia
No ties, no fear we're living in the minute
We're coming up, not stopping cause we got this love
This light, come join the revolution this wave will crash
Making headlines just for kicks
Tryna get love not tryna get rich
We're the new bohemia
We're the new bohemia
Not in it for the fame we do it for the thrill
Gonna light it up wanna change the world
We're the new bohemia
We're the new bohemia
The lyrics to TransViolet’s “New Bohemia” celebrate a countercultural movement that is all about creativity, freedom, and self-expression. The song celebrates young people who are breaking from traditional norms and forging a new path in life. The first verse sets the stage, with “girls in their high tops dancing for days” and “guys in the gold pants talking new slang.” We get a sense of young people rolling through cities “like a storm,” leaving their mark on the world with graffiti and other forms of street art. Even the simple act of drawing a peace sign is a political statement, a declaration that life is beautiful and there are better ways to live than the narrow path prescribed by society.
The chorus of “New Bohemia” is an anthem for young people who are doing things differently. They’re not chasing fame or wealth; they’re in it for the thrill of living and the joy of creating. They want to start a revolution, to change the world in ways that are meaningful to them. They’re the “new bohemia,” a reference to the bohemian movement of the 19th century, which valued art, creativity, and nonconformity above all else. The second verse reinforces this theme, with references to “kings of the sidewalk” and “curbside dreams shooting for the moon.” The message of the song is clear: embrace your inner bohemian, reject conformity, and create the life you want to live.
