DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE
- The New Year Lyrics / with translationsSo this is the new year.
And i don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance (in the distance).
So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions
So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogs bleed into one
I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.
There'd be no distance that could hold us back [x2]
So this is the new year [x4]
And i don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance (in the distance).
So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions
So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.
There'd be no distance that could hold us back [x2]
So this is the new year [x4]

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, The New Year by Death Cab for Cutie is a musical piece which deals with time moving on and the inseparable feelings that come with the turning of a year, through the metaphor of a flat world expressing longing for the past - those times of more simplicity and connection. The year in the song is first and foremost all about passing the old year in silence and deep reflection, joy, nostalgia, and celebration; then, secondarily, it is all about going on an adventurous journey, traveling and discovering. In parallel, the main notions in the song are those of disillusion, escapism, nostalgia, and partying.

Although there are no direct references to violence, sex, or drug use, still the overall vibe and some visuals might be more appropriate for an adult crowd.
