New Scream

Turnover's song "New Scream" delves into the profound sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction that often accompanies the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels trapped in a monotonous routine, yearning for something more fulfilling. The opening lines, "Can I stay at home? I don’t want to go / I don’t want to wake up till the Sun is hanging low," set the tone for the song, highlighting a desire to escape the responsibilities and expectations of daily life.

The chorus, with its repeated longing for a "new scream," symbolizes a craving for a fresh, exhilarating experience that breaks away from the mundane. This new scream represents a departure from the "old dreams" that no longer satisfy the individual's need for excitement and purpose. The lyrics, "I’ve been dying to feel alive / And I’ve been wasting all my time / Chasing the high," further emphasize the struggle to find meaning and vitality in a world that feels increasingly dull and repetitive.

Throughout the song, there is a palpable sense of isolation and existential angst. The lines, "Am I the only one? Is this in all of us? / I hate the thought that I'm alone, but I hope that you're not," reflect a deep-seated fear of being alone in these feelings, while also expressing a hope that others can relate. This duality of feeling both isolated and connected is a common theme in Turnover's music, which often explores the complexities of human emotions and relationships. Ultimately, "New Scream" is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt the weight of societal expectations and longed for a more authentic and exhilarating existence.
