about

BRAVE NEW WORLD
FOUR LIONS

English writer Aldous Huxley’s 1932 sci-fi opus Brave New World imagines the dystopian future of a socially engineered, class-based society.

Bendigo-based rockers Four Lions’ latest single, Brave New World, carries a far more optimistic and hopeful message. “And it has less robots than the Huxley book,” jokes frontman Shann Lions.

Brave New World combines classic stadium rock with a shimmering pop sensibility, wrapped up in a three-minute, made-for-radio odyssey.

Lions says Brave New World, one of the earliest songs he wrote for the band’s forthcoming album Wide Awake, is about creating a new life for oneself.

“You find yourself in different circumstances, and it’s up to you solely to make change and empower your own journey,” he says. “It has a positive message entangled in slight apprehension.”

lyrics

Brave New World
Lyrics & Music Written By Shann Lions (Control)

This is the first time I’ve allowed my heart to be given so freely
Never wanted to drown in thoughts with water to the ceiling
Set of French windows, closed, beautiful and stone-chipped
Maybe one day I can knock on your door again?

I’m gonna fake it
I’m gonna take it
I’m gonna make it
Brave new world

I’m gonna fake it
I’m gonna take it
I’m gonna make it
Brave new world


This is the last time I’ll allow my heart to be given so freely
Never wanted to drown in thoughts with water to the ceiling
Set of French windows, closed, beautiful and stone-chipped
Maybe one day I can knock on your door again?


I’m gonna fake it
I’m gonna take it
I’m gonna make it
Brave new world

I’m gonna fake it
I’m gonna take it
I’m gonna make it
Brave new world
