Listen to Tom DeLonge Solo Song “New World”
As promised, ex-Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has released a new song well ahead of the April 20
street date for his To the Stars… Demos, Odds and Ends solo album.
Aptly titled “New World,” the track sounds like a hook-laden compromise between the work DeLonge has done with Blink-182 and Angels And Airwaves. It’s catchy enough to appease the pop-punk fanatics, while lyrically pronounced enough to appease those more intrigued by AAA.
Speaking of the words, based on what we know about DeLonge’s exit from Blink-182, it is hard to not to think that these lyrics weren’t inspired by the ugly band breakup. Perhaps, that’s what DeLonge was hoping for, as the lyrics were conveniently published beneath the video on YouTube (you can read them below, after listening to the song.)
DeLonge will release two more new songs on March 23 and April 6. Those who pre-order To the Stars… Demos, Odds and Ends will receive downloads of these tracks ahead of April 20.
“New World” Lyrics:
I’ve heard a phantom ring
I’ve awakened to a lie
Prying up the eyes
To a shitty view with a shot of life
I felt a tidal wave
And I watched the city lights
Illuminate ‘em bright
And a little walk in the dead of night
Why must, we not, act tonight
Too many lies here
We wait, the knife, we take a bite
Nobody wins here
It violates and blinds the eyes
But I found a new world
So seventeen again
I can hear the bell and tower
I will be devoured
Will ya follow me to the witching hour
Why must, we not, act tonight
To many lies here
We wait, the knife, we take a bite
Nobody wins here
I’ve lost, the nerve, I’m finalized
Too many die here
I fall hands down, l pray
I don’t give an F-U-C-K
It violates and blinds the eyes
But I found a new world
My head will ache, I brave the fire
Yeah, I found a new world
My heart awaits, the grand design
I found a new door
I’m un-contained, I’m crucified
I found a new world, I’m lost deep inside of it
