New Direction
Quest for Renewal: Echoes of Seeking a New Path in 'New Direction'
Lyrics
Out on a limb
Feeling isolated or in a risky situation
Did you see what the cat dragged in
Did you notice what has been brought in, possibly referring to something unexpected or unwanted
Take it on the chin
Face the situation bravely
Catching fire on a roof of tin
Experiencing intense emotions in a precarious situation
You've learnt to speak and you're professing
Expressing oneself after acquiring knowledge or skills
The right to teach us our direction
Claiming the authority to guide others
But I found out on close inspection
Discovering flaws upon closer examination
True imprefection
Recognizing and accepting true imperfection
I'm looking for a new direction
Seeking a new path or purpose in life
Where in the world am I?
Expressing confusion or disorientation
I took the word the word was resurrection
Accepting a message of revival or renewal
And then you took me out to climb
Being led to a higher state or experience
Higher and higher
Describing an ascent, possibly metaphorical, with spiritual and passionate elements
Higher and higher
-Higher and higher
-Kissing the spires
-Higher and higher
-Higher and higher
-Higher and higher
-Souls on fire
-Inside of my head
Internal thoughts or voices influencing one's actions
I heard what the good lord said
Receiving a warning from a higher authority
"beware" he said
-If you don't you might end up dead
-You suck the air right out of me
Highlighting a draining or toxic relationship, where one's essence is consumed
But though you suck you cannot see
-That life and living are not free
-Though you live you do not breathe
-I'm looking for a new direction
Continuing the search for a new path or purpose
Where in the world am I?
Expressing a sense of lost identity
I took the word the word was resurrection
Recalling a message of revival or renewal
And then you took me out to climb
Being guided to climb metaphorical heights
(repeat) higher and higher...
Repetition of the ascent, possibly emphasizing the journey or struggle
I have changed
Reflection on personal change while acknowledging emotional resilience and the persistence of true love
But still my heart
-Remains intact
-And true love stays
-But will our hearts
-Retain their lack of
-No sense and no direction
Expressing a lack of understanding or purpose
Who in the world am I?
Questioning one's identity or place in the world
I took the word the word was resurrection
Recalling a message of revival or renewal again
And then you took me out to climb
Being guided to climb metaphorical heights again
(repeat) higher and higher...
Repetition, possibly emphasizing the cyclical nature of life's challenges
Start confessing
Encouraging confession or acknowledgment of wrongdoing
Start confessing
-All my evils would be blessed
Considering the cleansing power of confession and religious symbolism
If to God I did confess
-Wipe the slate and see if I
-Ate the bread and drank the wine
-So as you're leaving I take possession
-Just take the bottle and start confessing
