New Order – Here To Stay Lyrics 14 years ago
This song is all about the Antichrist. There are several hints in the song that makes me think about this:

"This blue eyed boy
Who wants to be

This worthy cause
Of human kind
This pawn set up by time"

The Antichrist will be seen at the end of time as the noblest living Earth, but in the end will be just a pawn of the devil in his plans for world domination.

"Like a bright light on the horizon
Shining so bright, he'll get you flying
He'll drive you away, he'll drive you insane
But then he'll remove all of your pain"

Planet Venus, when seen as a bright light in the sky just before sunrise, has been called for centuries under the name 'Lucifer'. 'Lucifer' come from a Latin expression that means 'Lightbearer', and is one of the names given by Christian tradition to the devil. Anyone who can make a person fly, make him insane and remove all his pain (does not specify whether the pain is physical or spiritual) needs to have magical or spiritual qualities that not anyone would have or could develop.

"This open book
Yet to be read
This second look
This leap ahead

The hope I held inside
With you, was kept alive"

'The open book yet to read' represents the fact that, although the existence of the Antichrist is already known, the extent of his evil and harm to be done to the world is not yet completely known nor fully understood. The singer has faith the "light" of the Antichrist will keep alive the hope that the world will make a "leap forward" and walk away definitively from God.

'We're here to stay...'

The followers of darkness are and will continue to seek to bring the world into the abyss; among those followers, it seems, this band. They make clear what they are aspiring to even in their name: 'New Order'.

Maybe many of you may or may not agree with it, but this is my opinion. Greetings.
