Anew
Voices From The Fuselage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you are all i have - a stranger.
you have a certain air.
why elect me as the conduit to grief?
have i not suffered enough?
you're just adding to the load.
i'd believe the hope around me,
save me - such an empty term.
forsake me - no one ever learns.
redeem me - how is that deserved?
erase me - from this haggard earth.
it's the reason i'm searching for.
it's the reason that i was born.
it's the reason i can't ignore.
i've been waiting forever more.
tell me when and i'll go with you.
say you promise and i will too.
take me somewhere i can be free.
somewhere i don't even know me.
let's start anew.
let's build on the darkness and silence.
save me - such an empty term.
forsake me - no one ever learns.
redeem me - how is that deserved?
erase me - from this haggard earth.
let's start anew.
let's build on the darkness and silence
The lyrics of "Anew" by Voices From The Fuselage express a deep sense of loss and yearning for redemption. The singer seems to have lost everything that they once loved and made, leaving them with nothing but a stranger, someone who they have a certain air about them but are not intimately familiar with. The singer questions why this stranger has chosen them to grieve with, asking if they have not suffered enough, and feeling like they are just adding to the load. The hope that surrounds them appears to be unattainable as it is the stranger who chose them.
The singer uses a series of commands to express their desperation for change. They ask to be saved, forsaken, redeemed, and even erased from this haggard earth. They believe that they have been waiting for something forever, and that they will do anything to be free, even if it means going somewhere they don't even know. The chorus of "let's start anew, let's build on the darkness and silence" expresses the singer's longing to start fresh and build on what remains.
Overall, the lyrics of "Anew" by Voices From The Fuselage are powerful expressions of loss, grief, and hope for a fresh start. The singer's desperation for change is reflected in the series of commands they use to express their desires, and their longing for a better future is shown in their desire to start anew and build on what remains.
