| Rush – New World Man Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I think it is about your generation and the role you play in society, also about youthful optimism and always trying to be better than the ones that came before you The old world man is the older generation, the ones you are trying to catch up with. ''learning to match the beat of the old world man'' ''trying to save the day for the old world man'' Cleaning up the mess of your predecessors, trying to be better than the previous generation The third world man is the younger, upcoming generation, ''learning to catch the heat of the third world man'' ''trying to pave the way for the third world man'' trying to stay ahead of the upcoming generation, but also knowing that your work helps to pave the road for the next generation I think the new world man is the young adult generation. the lines: ''he's got to make his own mistakes, and learn to mend the mess he makes'' you have to learn and correct your own mistakes and learn from it ''He's old enough to know whats right, and young enough not to choose it'' ''he's noble enough to win the world, but weak enough to lose it'' You have certain ambitions and goals for the future, you are optimistic and think that the world lies at your feet and everything is possible. But you tend to make bad choices and decisions due to not knowing how the world actually works. I think the other verses are more about keeping up with daily life and trying to be yourself. Not letting yourself be tempted by bad decisions or influences. ''he's got a trouble with his poisons, but you know hell find a cure'' ''He's cleaning up his systems, to keep his nature pure'' ''he's got to walk a fine line, and keep his self control'' It could be that i interpret the lyrics this way because that is the phase in life i am at right now. A young adult, i always try to be better than everyone that came before me, i also know that what i do in life will be used by the new generation to become better than me (paving the way). But that is what i like about rush, everyone can relate to their lyrics, even if it means something completely different to someone else. I just hope that you catch my drift and see why i interpret this song in this way |

by just reading the lyrics piece by piece, this what MY opinion, thoughts are about some pieces. it's only my first impression, what comes up in me when i read the sentence. Where hath the apostles gone? Joining hands with wicked ones. something about fake belief, or better, about current religion, that has changed his own views, an doesn't fit well with the original thoughts. the sentence: ''Joining hands with wicked ones.'' it think of it as a religion changing it's ideals to correspond to a greater public, losing it's original values. the wicked ones, demons? satan? by changing your point of faith, you become more of a sinner? Revelation has come to pass, New World Order will hold the mass! something like a event that happened, giving power to controll the masses, or maybe like the religion has gained a new point of view(as i stated before, to appeal to a greater public) and that it has worked well, and many more people will follow this religion. A book written by the man, Used to control and command. my first impression is a law book, but more closely linked to the theme of my analysis, a holy book(wich in some cultures is the same as the law) All rights will be denied, Without the mark you shall die! discrimination begins, people will be marked as different from the believers of the main religion, only one religion is allowed, and the others will be executed, like happened in the early roman empire(first i was thinking about the second world war, what has been done to the jews(the star mark)but this is more accurate to my thinking) No confession, all is known! (All is known!) New World Order, you shall be shown! (Shall be shown!) the new government(linked to religion, as only one religion is allowed) is hunting down people with a different religion(as happened to the early christians) with the use of insiders or traitors, my first thought is Judas(i'm not english, but thats what he's called in my language, i mean the one who betrayed Jesus:)) Monitoring all wages, New World Order comes in stages. Currency is obsolete, Feel the agony of defeat! i don't really know what to make of this, something like the upcoming of christianity in steps(New World Order comes in stages.), meaning a new world order. the sentence Feel the agony of defeat! fits with it meaning the government will lose it's war on christianity. currency is obselete means that if there is no hate or something like that in the world, currency will be made unnecceceary, as it will only bring sorrow and greed or desire. at least that's what i think. Symbol of society today, meaning that religion nowadays symbolises the political views of a coutry in many ways A must have or you shall pay! As human flesh leads the mind, i really can't put my finger on these sentences. A must have or you shall pay, my first thought is that you will be looked down on for having a different religion, but contradicting to the modern times, where i think these last 4 sentences are about. As human flesh leads the mind, lol my first thought on this is that humans begin to think only about human flesh, about sex. it can also mean that humans begin to think more about others, in a good way, or a bad way(i think bad) Just a pawn, the last martyr dies! about losing the final principles of religion, losing all fate. the last martyr in this sentence resembles the last remaining principles. a martyr in this sentence means a rule or a way of life to me, you get what i mean. just a pawn, well, this last martyr is being used by someone else or something like that, to gain a person a benefit, or save something dear. my thought as i write this down is that it is Jesus, who is being arrested to keep the peace between the jews and the romans by pontius pilatus(something like that, you get who i mean) well, this is it, i hope you can shar even something of these thoughts with me, a few thing i have to note though: - i'm not english, so i you don't get what i'm saying, please ask, and i try to explain it, sometimes it's hard for me to explain myself in english - these are my beliefs, i was raised as a christian, but i have sorta dropped my religion, i don't follow it really, i'm more a man of science, a atheist, although i like the meanings in religions so i like observing different religions - i don't use any references during the writing of this, so it can be i say stupid things. - i did find most thing's out during writing, so the last sentences don't really go in line with the first if you look at the whole story. and lastly, i want to say that these are my first thoughts, i didn't think it out, i just write what comes up in me that's all, enjoy:P feel free to ask questions or criticise me |

Can you help me occupy my brain? it's: can you help me, or are you from my brain fits perfectly with the theme of going insane. i made a school project on this once, we had to make a analysis about the differences between the cover and the original of a song. since i too think this is a very very good cover(dave's voice sounds perfect on the song, a little insane to my ears) it's interesting to make an analysis of this cover, the pacing sounds like to be faster in megadeth's version, but actually it's about the same. i can remember saying in my assingment that the pacing is doubled in the megadeth version, but now i listen to it, it is the same. the solo is nicely done |

The crystal ball's energized Surely that like the cat waiting this peace reminds me of a witch witches and ghost are in the same catagory, so i still go with CJF. interesting though is that i am only starting to find out the meanings behind songs now that i play song, and in the meanwhile read the lyrics i'm not englis, so it helps a lot:) |
