ABOUT THE SONG: “The New Scene”
Put simply, “The New Scene” is an ode to fake people who like to “trend-jump” and try to appeal to new groups of people, over and over. To dig a bit deeper, it’s about the inauthenticity of social media content and the effortlessness of pretending to be someone you’re not. The video is the opposite of the song – it’s just us being us, goofing off, not taking ourselves seriously at all.
“Lyrically, it’s pretty straightforward- it outlines a person bandwagon jumping again and again, immersing themselves into whatever new scene they think will gain them the most favour, or following. It’s all about optics, and the false belief that the public is always interested in their new personas. Pair that with a few catchy melodies and Nolan’s rock riffs and addictive bass lines, and that’s “The New Scene””.
– Kristen, Lonely Little Kitsch
“Musically speaking “The New Scene” is a buzzsaw. Moving forward – one speed, no stops. There’s no reason to complicate things. We wanted to write a big ol’ rock song to get people moving – and I think the frenetic guitar paired with Kris’ wonderful melody we were able to (hopefully) do that.”
– Nolan, Lonely Little Kitsch
lyrics
THE NEW SCENE
Unseen
Routine
The new scene
You're tied to next
A cliche
They'll say
"you're so great"
But disconnect
You keep on talkin at me
Keep on talkin at me
Keep on talkin at me
You keep on talkin at me
Keep on talkin at me
Keep on talkin at me
Chorus
And it's hard to tune you out
When you start talkin, runnin off your mouth
You keep talking, audience of one
But I won't listen til you've been undone
Yeah yeah
Fake shine
Online
You resign to play your part
Proclaim
It's mundane
So campaign for your new start
Chorus
You talk and they don't listen
You talk and they don't care
You talk and they don't listen
You talk and I don't care
Runnin off your mouth
Runnin off your mouth
Runnin off your mouth
Shut up.
You keep on talkin at me
Keep on talkin at me
Keep on talkin at me x3
