I stand still stepping on a shady street
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you`ll only know me
When you turn on the light
Now the room is liquid red danger
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
Transition to another place
So that time will pass more slowly
Your features fuse
And your shadow`s red
Like a film I`ve seen now show me
The place is hidden and we`re out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door
Is the same as before
So the question answer`s nowhere

What is the meaning behind New Life lyrics?
When we think about the deeper meaning of the song, Depeche Mode's 'New Life' is a song that mainly focuses on the theme of transformation and rebirth. The lyrics refer to an atmosphere of mystery and doubt likened to lonely streets and masked faces but on the other hand they also talk about a new beginning and accepting the change as the only way to bring forth a 'new life'. The phrases 'complicating, circulating' and 'operating, generating' are repeated in order to stress that life's challenges and the accompanying growth are circular. The new life lyrics strongly illustrate the emotions of - angst, reflection, despair, solitude and anxiety. To the contrary, the song highlights the necessity of identity and self-discovery, change and transition, along with danger and uncertainty. The lyrics contain some degree of danger and complexity that might not be suitable for very young kids which means the presence of parental guidance. Nevertheless, there are no references to violence, sex, or drug use that would result in the rating being raised to PG-13. ✔️
