New Leaf
Renewal Reflections: Unveiling Life's Urgency in Bad Religion's 'New Leaf'
Lyrics
When everybody dies around you, from someone else's gun,
Reflecting on the impact of death caused by external factors, particularly violence.
It really makes you stop and think about the years to come.
Contemplating the future in light of the deaths witnessed, prompting introspection.
Something good had to happen to the human race.
Expressing a belief in the possibility of positive change for humanity.
We all had better stop hoping and set our heads on straight.
Advising to abandon false hope and focus on realistic solutions.
You've gotta turn over a new leaf,
Encouraging a fresh start or a new perspective in life.
'Cause that old one's turning on you.
Warning about the consequences if one clings to outdated or harmful habits.
We've gotta turn over a new leaf.
Reiterating the need for a positive change and leaving behind negative influences.
If the future's only hoped for, we are doomed.
Highlighting the urgency of proactive actions for a better future, rather than relying solely on hope.
Today is over, it's already shot, so we can think about ourselves.
Emphasizing the importance of self-reflection and prioritizing personal well-being.
They keep on working on our nature, they're saying that can only help.
Addressing the impact of human interventions in nature, suggesting it is portrayed as beneficial.
Start throwing out your pockets, keep what you really only need.
Encouraging minimalism and letting go of unnecessary possessions for a more sustainable lifestyle.
Save life and earth and water, there can't be any other need.
Advocating for the preservation of essential elements like life, earth, and water.
You've gotta turn over a new leaf,
Reiterating the need for a fresh start and leaving behind negative influences.
'Cause that old one's turning on you.
Warning about the consequences of clinging to old ways that can turn detrimental.
You've gotta turn over a new leaf.
Stressing the importance of embracing positive change for a better future.
If the future's only hoped for, we are doomed.
Reiterating the urgency of proactive actions for a better future, rather than relying solely on hope.
You've gotta turn over a new leaf,
Emphasizing the need for continuous positive transformation.
'Cause that old one's turning on you.
Warning about the consequences if one clings to outdated or harmful habits.
We've gotta turn over a new leaf.
Reiterating the need for a positive change and leaving behind negative influences.
And let your love come on through.
Encouraging the expression of love as part of the transformative process.
You've gotta turn over a new leaf,
Reiterating the need for a fresh start and leaving behind negative influences.
'Cause that old one's turning on you.
Warning about the consequences of clinging to old ways that can turn detrimental.
We've gotta turn over a new leaf,
Reiterating the need for a positive change and leaving behind negative influences.
A new, a new, a new
Highlighting the concept of a completely new beginning or transformation.
