New Age

Marlon Roudette's song 'New Age' delves into the complexities of love, loss, and personal transformation. The lyrics reflect a journey of moving on from a past relationship that was once significant but has now lost its meaning. The opening lines, 'If love was a word, I don't understand / The simplest sound, With four letters,' suggest a sense of confusion and disillusionment with the concept of love itself. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the narrator grapples with the pain of the past while striving to embrace a new beginning.

The recurring question, 'Are you loving pain, loving the pain?' highlights the struggle of being stuck in a cycle of emotional turmoil. Despite the pain, the narrator is determined to move forward, as indicated by the lines, 'And with everyday, everyday / I try to move on.' This determination is further emphasized by the chorus, 'Whatever it was, / There's nothing now / You changed / New Age,' signifying a shift in perspective and the acceptance of change. The phrase 'New Age' symbolizes a fresh start, a departure from old habits and emotional baggage.

The imagery of 'So much fire that it burned my wings' and 'Now I'm dreaming of the simple things' contrasts the intensity of past experiences with a newfound desire for simplicity and peace. The song captures the essence of letting go and the courage it takes to walk away from something that no longer serves you. Roudette's soulful delivery and poignant lyrics resonate with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet process of moving on and finding oneself anew.
