Linkin Park: New Divide Meaning

Song Released: 2009

New Divide Lyrics

I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserved

[Chorus]
So give me...

   Youd feel a little different about this song if you died in a hospital and while on life support you looked out the window, and lightning moved through the sky taking minutes for each bolt to hit the ground. When we die- time becomes a constant, it blurs. Ironic that the song explains the exact thing that happened to me. Youre voice was all I heard, That I get what I deserve, Is saying that we have permision to have vigilance against satin and all the satanic activities that are going on as I speak, that the time is coming now. Kingdom Come. Youre voice was all I heard, That I get what I deserve.. Yes I am a sinner, we all are, but that does not mean we are bad people. It is night and day between good and evil, Our father will forgive us until the very end

   i think it has nothing to do with transformers or what i've done. i believe it is to do with the government, because they keep sooo many secrets from us. and we have a right to know whats going on around us. even sometimes some branchs of the crimanal justice, they allow them to erase our memory and dump us in different countrys. but not usually.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   Man personally I think this song could have fit better for the halo movie they keep delaying putting out particularly the lines there was nowhere to hide the ashes fell like snow. But I personally see this song as a cry against alienation from god..... chester seems to have done this before in numb, in the end, and given up, all with varying degrees of anger. This is perhaps the truest one yet....the ground caved in between where we were standing, and your voice was all I heard.....did I get what I deserve? that's just the way I interpreted it and still this may be one of their broadest singles yet, decide for yourself...

   The song New Divide means to me is that they are those two people who are in a relationship and over time the guy starts to find out some bad stuff about the girl like she cheating on him and she is lying to him. At the beginning like where it says “Like a startling sign that fate finally found me” that means that the guy and the girl have just started their relationship with each other. And when it gets to “So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean” the guy starts to find out that the girl is lying and cheating on him and he wants to try to forgive her for it but he needs a reason and this is repeated through the song because it starts to happen to him a lot. When it said “There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned” that meant to me is that the girl and him r forgetting about the past of when they were both and happy but when they are now mad at each other. This song is mostly about a guy and girl fighting about they’re relationship. The last line in the song is “Across this new divide, across this new divide” the word divide means to like separate so the guy and the girl are going they’re separate ways and never speak of it again.

   While it was written with Transformers 2 in mind, I don't think it was just written about the story, I think it was written in a similar vein to What I've Done (used in the first Transformers movie), in that it is about repenting for our sins, and changing the world. It almost sounds like, from the songs perspective, the world has begun to change for the better (which is pretty much the story of T1) but there is still a challenge ahead.

   Love transformers, & love this song. It fits together. for the song meaning, it kinda relates to the protagonist himself, Sam Witwicky. He wanted to live a normal but no matter what he do, he destined to be in the middle of the war between the autobots & the decepticons. Same thing to us, no matter how many times we ran from the struggles of life, it keeps running towards us. we just all have accept that war comes first before peace & order.
