Wild Beasts㐀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Groping in the briny deep
The tide washing through
You were the wild one that nothing would stick to
Sing lungs sing
Sing lungs sing
And you were right
See it
Open its eyes like new life
Mama who grew lungs
And crawled across the beach
In whom all waters meet
Sing lungs sing
Sing lungs sing
World cleave open
The line is fine
See it
Open its eyes like new life
The lyrics to Wild Beasts' song New Life explores the themes of transformation, rebirth and the beauty of life. The opening lines "Warm and blind, Groping in the briny deep, The tide washing through" paints a picture of someone lost, struggling to find their footing, but sensing a new beginning just beneath the surface. The reference to the tide washing through may suggest a wave of change, and the lyrics suggest that the singer is ready to embrace it.
The lyrics in the chorus "Sing lungs sing, Sing lungs sing" create a feeling of triumph and renewal. These lines are repeated several times, driving home the idea of embracing new beginnings with open arms. The following lines, "And you were right, See it, Open its eyes like new life" may suggest the singer is acknowledging that they were right to embrace the changes, and encourages others to do the same. The line "See it, Open its eyes like new life" urges others to open their eyes and see the beauty in the world around them.
The second verse "Mama who grew lungs, And crawled across the beach, In whom all waters meet" further explores the theme of transformation and rebirth. The imagery of a mother who grew lungs and crawled across the beach is an allusion to evolutionary theory, suggesting that we all have the capability to evolve and adapt. The line "In whom all waters meet" suggests that the singer has embraced different aspects of themselves, and is at peace with all their parts.
Line by Line Meaning
Warm and blind
Lost and unaware in the vastness of the ocean
Groping in the briny deep
Searching blindly in the salty, murky waters
The tide washing through
The waves and currents engulfing and flowing around you
You were the wild one that nothing would stick to
You were untamable, uncontainable, and free from any constraints
Sing lungs sing
Embrace life to the fullest, without holding back
Sing lungs sing
Let your voice express your deepest desires and aspirations
And you were right
You knew your true self and followed your intuition
See it
Perceive the beauty and wonder of the natural world
Open its eyes like new life
Become aware of the world's magic, as if seeing it for the first time
Mama who grew lungs
The mother of all life who evolved and adapted to survive
And crawled across the beach
Struggling and persevering through difficult times
In whom all waters meet
Containing within her the essence of all life and all experiences
World cleave open
The universe unfolds before you, revealing its secrets
The line is fine
Balance exists everywhere, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty
See it
Discover the hidden beauties and marvels of life
Open its eyes like new life
Find a renewed sense of wonder and appreciation for everything

I love Zhao LiYing’s dramas. I was waiting for this one because I like Luo Jin too. I just happen to look up when this is airing and it actually started just a day ago. Perfect! Although I would love to binge the whole thing once it’s all aired. Fighting to the cast and staff!

There's this Chinese tradition of "having fun" by annoying the bride and bridegroom;and in this drama, with the sister-in-law,but that is already harassment in actual form,not just the simple "fun from annoyance". the group went too far. This tradition is not always observed in every Chinese communities. Some do,some don't anymore. Example of annoying the groom is having him play games,and for every loss that he made,he has to suffer some punishments like sit-ups or whatever or get the bride and bridegroom bite a hanging apple, that will eventually lead them to touch lips( kissing),etc. although this is "fun", it's too tiring for the couple who need a rest after the feast/wedding ceremony so some families scrap this tradition.

@Miriam Tiuseco W moim kraju tez sa tradycje weselne i tylko do tego momentu rozumie , no bo jak tradycja ma sie do gwałtu i wszyscy maja pretesje do Pani Mlodej ze tak zareagowala wlasnie to mnie szokuje. A podoba mi sie to ze jest ukazany problem.

Meaningful film worth watching, reflecting the reality of rural socialization. Such a beautiful village scene, traditional weddings in the countryside are always fun and exciting. The whole village went to the wedding. Very beautiful bride.Zhao Liying’s acting is very natural and realistic.❤️👍5⭐️

那個鬧喜是什麼落後思想啊！

@leehanchin0616 是啊，这部剧讲述2009年的新乡村，当时的农村人还保留这比较传统的思想。但是看新闻，没想到现在2022年了都还有喜闹，甚至闹得蛮严重的。
