U.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(You're left in your disgrace)
You'll heed what I said
(You're left in your disgrace)
Wake up before it's too late
(You're left in your disgrace)
You will succumb to their fate
(You're a disgrace)
(You're left in your disgrace)
That you don't own yourself
(You're left in your disgrace)
Why can't you see the wolves have dressed?
(You're left in your disgrace)
You don't, you don't, you don't
You don't own yourself
And I won't provide it for you
Even though you
Even though you'll force me to
I still won't give it to you
And I won't provide it for you
Even though you
Even though you want me to
I learn so much from you
(Don't believe a word they say)
(Don't believe a word they say)
(Don't believe a word they say)
(What--what they say)
And when the breakdown comes
(Don't believe a word they say)
Then you'll hear what I said
(Don't believe a word they say)
You must demand your consent
(Don't believe a word they say)
How can you be so, so, so active in your demise?
And I won't provide it for you
Even though you
Even though you'll force me to
I still only give it to you
And I won't provide it for you
Even though you
Even though you'll force me to
I think it just might finally be the end of the world
You all have nothing here
You have so much to fear
The lyrics in U.P's song "New Age" bring a sense of urgency and foreboding to the listener. The first verse speaks directly to the listener, warning them of the dangers that await them when nighttime falls and they are left in their disgrace. The repetition of "You're left in your disgrace" emphasizes the gravity of the situation and the need for urgent action. The lyrics then encourage the listener to wake up before it's too late and not succumb to the wolves in sheep's clothing that surround them.
The second verse speaks to the idea of ownership and agency. The listener is told they don't own themselves and that they couldn't care less. The wolves in sheep's clothing have dressed and are manipulating them. However, the singer won't provide what the listener wants, even if they force him to. The lines "I learn so much from you" suggest that the singer has gained insight from the listener's behavior, but ultimately the listener must demand their own consent and take control of their life.
The chorus repeats the warning not to believe a word they say and to demand consent. The breakdown that is mentioned in the second half of the chorus suggests that there will be a moment of reckoning, and the listener must be prepared. The final line "You all have nothing here, You have so much to fear" speaks to the idea that there is little worth holding onto in the current situation and that the listener has much to gain by breaking free.
