New Year
Viva Brother Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a wish in my well
And it's burning up a hole in my pocket
A hole in my pocket
Well, I'm feeling closer to hell
And I'm burning like a big space rocket
A big space rocket

Yeah
And you said that I'm losing faith
Well it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away
Yeah it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away
Yeah it's ba ba ba ba

We fell asleep top and tails on the carpet
It was so uncomfortable
So uncomfortable
Feel like a killer whale,
Let me free or I will bite your head off
Will bite your head off

Yeah
And you said that I'm losing faith
Well it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away
Yeah it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away
Yeah it's ba ba ba ba

Yeah
And you said that I'm losing faith
Well it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away
Yeah it's just like New Year's Day




Fly away, fly away
Yeah it's ba ba ba ba

In Viva Brother's song "New Year's Day," the lyrics describe a feeling of being lost and burning with a desire to escape. The first line, "I've got a wish in my well," suggests that the singer has a desire or dream that they are holding onto. However, the second line "And it's burning up a hole in my pocket," reveals that this dream or wish is causing discomfort and anxiety.


The lyrics continue, "Well, I'm feeling closer to hell / And I'm burning like a big space rocket." This suggests that the singer feels overwhelmed and pressured to achieve their goals, causing them to feel like they are on the brink of a breakdown.

The second verse describes a physical discomfort, with the singers falling asleep "top and tails on the carpet" in an uncomfortable position. The line "Feel like a killer whale, let me free or I will bite your head off" is a metaphor for feeling trapped and frustrated, and the desire to be set free from whatever is holding the singer back.

I've got a wish in my well
I have a strong desire that I hold deep inside


And it's burning up a hole in my pocket
I can feel the intensity of my wish and it's making me restless


A hole in my pocket
The intensity of my wish may even cause harm to myself, like creating a hole in my pocket


Well, I'm feeling closer to hell
My current situation is negative and I feel like I'm getting closer to my own personal hell


And I'm burning like a big space rocket
The fire inside me is growing and it's starting to feel explosive


We fell asleep top and tails on the carpet
We slept close to each other on the floor


It was so uncomfortable
It was an awkward and unpleasant experience


Feel like a killer whale
I feel big and powerful, ready to fight for what I want


Let me free or I will bite your head off
Don't hold me back or I will respond in a fierce and aggressive manner


Yeah, and you said that I'm losing faith
You think I'm losing my confidence and hope


Well it's just like New Year's Day
But I see it as a fresh start, like the beginning of a new year

I want to leave behind everything that is holding me back and fly towards my new future


Yeah it's ba ba ba ba
I will keep moving forward and leaving the past behind

Fucking love it, Been missing this sound for so many years they will be big.

Chelsea Lynn

Well, I think they're briliant. They've got the right attitude; they call themselves the best because that's they aspire to be! They've got a decent fan base so far and they ACTUALLY reply to their fans when they contact them! Rather than just dismissing any feedback!

I have been lucky enough to have seen this band twice and have heard all the songs on the album. Viva Brother bring a bit of fun back to the music scene with a bunch of upbeat songs that you cant help but enjoy. I highly recommend their album to everyone and cant wait for my copy to arrive.

Perfection. Pre order their album - out Aug 1st! These guys deserve to at the top, they have the tunes to prove it.

Joe Diana

Saw them as a support act with Morrissey last night, one of the best support acts i've ever seen.

Talon Jorgenson

Reality is, there arent many bands out there that have their "own sound". Every band is simply playing off another. Every band is inspired by another band and so yes, chances are, there will be similarities. No artist will ever "copy" another band. because every band wants to be known as who they are not as the band that is like another band. Viva Brother has great music. Just enjoy.
