New Light
Wayd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

New Light

One of the servants of no hope
The will destroyed in your hole
Wainin' for what they give to you
Unable to break through

The vision of future has been lost
And you don't care, the fire's gone
Life and death is now the same
You're lost in the dark burnin' your name

Open your eyes, try to find a new light

Sittin' here, the face in your hands
Drunk and fucked up, insane in the brain
Life and death is now the same
Asking yourself who's to blame

Open your eyes, try to find a new light

You're not dead inside
So take your chance a new light

Sick of the uncompromising life
Being full of compromises
You wish you were laughing
Forever in eternal sleep





Open...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wayd's song "New Light" offer a bleak perspective on the experience of feeling trapped and hopeless. The song opens by describing the singer as a "servant of no hope," implying a lack of agency or control over his situation. He is "unable to break through," indicating a sense of being stuck or trapped in a negative cycle.


The second verse highlights the loss of vision for the future and the fact that the singer no longer cares about anything. The line "Life and death is now the same" suggests a sense of resignation or apathy towards his own existence. The singer is lost in the dark, burning his name, perhaps feeling like he is leaving nothing behind and that his life has no meaning.


The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, encouraging the singer to "open your eyes" and "try to find a new light." The repeated phrase suggests a sense of urgency to escape the darkness and find a new path.


The third verse continues this theme of feeling lost and hopeless, with the singer asking himself who is to blame for his situation. However, the final lines offer a more positive message, suggesting that the singer is not dead inside and encouraging him to "take your chance" and find a new light.


Overall, "New Light" is a powerful reflection on the struggle to overcome despair and find hope in dark times. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person trapped in a negative cycle, but offer a glimmer of hope through the repeated refrain to find a new light.

This is JUST the video I was looking for. Simply explained from start to finish as well as talking about wiring codes too. Thanks a ton for your work!!

Weekend Home Projects

Love these vids!

Great video as usual. Instead of hanging the string so your drilled holes are straight and then drawing the lines, I find it easier to just snap a chalk line. It saves a few minutes. Also, can't you put a 2x4 perpendicular to the joists and then staple the Romex to it on the side?

Yea it's fine to be worried about anchors/nails/screws, but structurally more important to uese the 1/3s rule (in this case avoid drilling in the lower 1/3 of the member) on load bearing members. Almost every hole (pex and electrical) I see drilled here violates the 1/3 rule. If this is going to be exposed above a work space, surface run it in conduit or MC.

Phil Ribaudo

Hi there, I love your videos and one reason is that you always go above and beyond and include what is to code or what is in violation to code. Question: If your original circuit was 12 gauge yellow shouldn't you have used 12 gauge to the new light? (you used 14 gauge and isn't it a violation by connecting it to existing 12 gauge and if not an actual violation at least not best practices?)

Great video, you take your time to explain each step which is great for first timers like me, I'm learning a lot from you Sir! Thank you!

Steve Pilgrim

Really useful video. The hands-on work explains what we see in our 60 year old house! Thanks!

Phil LaMoore

Great video. I think this will have helped a lot of people. I would like to have seen the Wago connectors a little better though. But, I think I got the gist of how you wired it. Thank you for taking the time.

Always fun watching your videos very basic and simple to follow especially for us DIYersđŸ’ȘđŸ’Ș

Scott, you are probably aware of this. For anyone else, on the light switch that EMT conduit should have been longer past the floor joist and should have a blue plastic protector at the end (I forget what there called) so the romex sheathing doesn't tear.
