Brand New - Mene Lyrics






How does everything start and end?
Come gather now and lay this beast to rest
I kept hearing trumpets, got my hearing checked
Your father spoke a prophecy
To think that I believed is self-centered of me
There was something that I was trying to say
But then I choked on it and now it’s getting kinda late

We walked to the edge but we never leapt,
What sings to you when you disconnect

Written on the wall, the letters plain and tall,
This is my own fault
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything

I still cower at eternal wrath though
Don’t want my fear to become my shadow
I want to invade my thoughts, I want to die in Kyoto

The ocean never sleeps or dreams,
It never stops to ponder what it sees
Committed to its satellite, no one can move you man and no one’s ever going to try.

All the tides are married to the moon
All i want is for my heart to be as true

Written on the wall, the letters plain and tall
This is my own fault
We don’t feel anything
Not gone but fading fast
So let me put to rest
The only question that you’ll ask

We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything
We don’t feel anything

  1. C.... S....

    too damn short

  2. L.... ....

    I WANTED TO DIE IN KYOTO

  3. R.... S....

    When this came out I thought their next album, which turned out to be science fiction (still a great album) but i thought with this it was going to be epic as fuck. A little let down. Still great though. But oh well Brand New forever.

  4. T.... R....

    1:46 has my heart forever

  5. C.... ....

    I meant to type meme ban new

  6. r.... _....

    Favorite band

  7. E.... ....

    Greatest band ever.

  8. K.... T....

    I have one of my Oc's named the same thing

  9. M.... P....

    I turned to half sped for fun

  10. T.... G....

    type in tim garvey guitar

  11. E.... ....

    This song has something more

  12. B.... A....

    did they change the approach to the way the chorus is played?

  13. F.... H....

    Holy shit 2 years ago? Has it really been that long? Time flies.

  14. F.... D....

    This is my jam, right here bitches!!

  15. C.... A....

    lose your shit at 0:20

  16. T.... L....

    I HATE YOU GUYS <3

  17. D.... P....

    Just put this song to a CD 10 times in a row and that will be my all-time favourite album!!

  18. M.... D....

    Seeing this live was so amazing.

  19. d.... ....

    God I love Brand New and their awesome sound. Audio Porn right here.

  20. v.... ....

    the intro is literally the intro of Pixies- Something against you

  21. a.... ....

    Matt stonie brought me here,

  22. J.... R....

    Very good

  23. C.... R....

    Brand New 2000-2018

  24. R.... S....

    I love this so much that it hurts my head.

    R.... S....

    Rio Sutcliffe I don't even mind if it gets under my skin tbh

    R.... S....

    There's no bad part to let in, though

    R.... S....

    And when this was made it was set apart

  25. t.... ....

    reminds me of the libertines........ and thats a good thing :)

  26. d.... ....

    ok..Brand New, I have listened, finally. It's been a trying journey so far, just like you said, but I need you again more than ever, rise.

  27. T.... ....

    Guys, just don't pressure Brand New about doing their stuff. Let them play however they want and when they want. Just support them wherever they decide to go.

    They have put on 2 of my top 5 concerts, and I'd rather them stay the true artists they want to be rather than mold into what others are trying to make them be. That's why they're so good, so don't try to change them.

  28. i.... e....

    as a hardcore brand new fan, i feel like i have to forcibly convince myself that this song is not complete shit.

    i.... e....

    Why? I consider my self a fan but I don't like all of YFW or most of Daisy. The thing about this band is every album has a unique feel. You don't have to like everything they do. I fucking hate the new shit I've heard from them.

    i.... e....

    Because sufjan just put out an album last year and every track is great...and people thought sufjan peaked 10 years ago, just like people say brand new peaked that long ago...if sufjan can still churn out top level songs, why can't brand new. I'm disappointed, that's all.

  29. K.... ....

    The irony, at the end when he repeats "We don't feel anything," is that I was crying tears of joy.


    aaannnnd repeat.

    K.... ....

    KilroyKilljoy you have the beat name ever holy svjzz

    K.... ....

    Fabulous Killjoy haha and you too sir!

  30. J.... ....

    this is a great lead in track to I Am A Nightmare. listening to them back to back is awesome.

  31. H.... D....

    UK UK UK UK UK UK TOUR 2016! <3

  32. C.... W....

    What's the deal with the ending two seconds? It's an ad for cat food.

  33. m.... ....

    Looks kind of like the music video for "You Know You're Right"

    m.... ....

    i thought the same thing !!!

    m.... ....

    I see it, which is good considering the former is objectively the best song ever made.

  34. C.... K....

    This opinion is unpopular - I just really, really don't like this song. I was always told Daisy would grow on me as well as thing song and neither of them did. Huge TDAGARIM fan, and I love every other album. I can respect the art, but I just do not enjoy the music they've put out since 2009.

    C.... K....

    To each his own. Daisy did in fact grow on me though. At first I was like it's ok. Now I can't make a Brand New playlist without At the Bottom or Gasoline.

    C.... K....

    Over time, Daisy actually became my favorite album of theirs'.

    C.... K....

    Jesse said This song was actually made around the time that they made Devil and God, they just didn't like it then, but recently rediscovered it and liked it now

  35. j.... j....

    seeing them this sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. d.... d....

    If they dont feel anything they should go to a doctor..... i hear medicine is good :D

  37. k.... ....

    Not really into Brand New but man this song fucking rips and the music video is killer. My favorite music videos are a complication of live footage.

  38. R.... R....

    I tried to listen quietly and just watch the video, but 45 seconds in I was moving. You can't... you just can't...

  39. A.... M....

    Perfect! Can't wait for this album to Drop #BrandNew2016

  40. M.... A....

    new album coming soon *hell yeah*

    M.... A....

  47. M.... M....

    Perfect!

  48. N.... H....

    I even listed Brand New as my religion on Facebook! Give me some new music lol!

  49. N.... H....

    You guys going to put anything else on this channel? Not that I don't love this song because I do love everything you guys do but I've been waiting for a new album for so long it's ridiculous! And that was just a small tease! Please guys I'm begging you just put the album out! In fact release multiple albums! I deserve the new music and you guys make more money! It's a win win! And I def. will buy the shit. I'll personally hand Jesse Lacey the money myself!

  50. J.... M....

    Probably gonna die from excitement when their album *finally* hits the shelves.

  51. T.... ....

    Album pls :(

  52. J.... F....

    New album will drop April 18th 2016.

    J.... F....

    8/14 album drop confirmed. Trust me on that one. It was printed backwards ;)

    J.... F....

    +Jeffrey Frattini-Cox Is this actually confirmed? If so, by who?

    And if you're just joking don't mind me being too dense to get the joke...

    J.... F....

    418 on cassette. Nightmare dropped 5/17. I expect 6/16 something, 7/15 something, and album drop on 8/14.

    J.... F....

    **cries**

    J.... F....

    Yeah I know. Fuck them. I'm sick of their bullshit at this point.

  53. T.... J....

    This was the writing that was inscribed MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN (God has numbered your kingdom and finished it) you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. at least I think that's what they're referencing Daniel 5.25

  54. X.... ....

    Brand New OG since 2001, I demand you release a new album every year from now on.

    X.... ....

    +XSatampraZeirosX but then they would be shit

  55. a.... p....

    do you guys ever wonder if Jesse Lacey just woke up one day in April 2015 and said, "shit, we haven't put out anything since 2009." and wrote a 2 minute song with 4 chords and just went to the studio and finished this in like a day? its a good song but I think Jesse hates his job.

  56. d.... ....

    wow this came out almost a year ago already.

  57. s.... ....

    gave me goosebumps. wow!

  58. D.... S....

    Still waiting...

    if you read the lyrics, it looks like it is in fact their last album

  60. m.... y....

    i love how the footages look like a band from the 90s

  61. C.... K....

    Maaaannnnn, I hope the rest of the album is as good as this. Part of me hopes it's not either, if this is going to be their last album, and it becomes their best one, it's going to make us want more, but we will never become satisfied with more, because there will be no more Brand New to make more. ):

  62. J.... B....

    release something pls

  63. O.... M....

    this is just so fkin good

  64. J.... V....

    Are there any updates on when they're releasing their new album?? Because this song is GLORIOUS. Plus I hear that sound-wise, their new album is going to sound like Deja, which should be interesting given that D&G and Daisy sounded quite different from Deja! So I guess they're bringing the old Brand New back!

  65. B.... ....

    Insane footage. It looks like they perform every show like it's their last.

    B.... ....

    +I2I18I5I14I4I5I14I when did you see them cause they've played damn near the exact same set for the last 3 years.

    B.... ....

    +Nick O'Maley I completely agree. I saw them in July for the first time and it was absolutely incredible, I saw them again last Friday it was basically the same exact show. I was so disappointed.

    B.... ....

    @Amber Duncan yeah, I saw them in Cleveland on Thursday, and cause they were playing TDAG it was the only time there have been any real changes in the setlist

    B.... ....

    Nick O'Maley damn ive seen them four times and havent seen the same setlist once

    B.... ....

    Nick O'Maley I WAS THERE TOO :D IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, BRAND NEW IS MY FAVORITE BAND

  66. c.... b....

    WHEN WILL IT END????

    fuck you Brand New and Hald-Life 3 too!

  67. T.... J....

    God I can't wait for this album I'm so excited to see what they do next it seems like I've grown up alongside this band every album is more relevant to me than the last there is a clear progression throughout all of their albums here's to hoping the next album is darker and heavier than ever keeping with the trend

  68. R.... R....

    Mene may be a biblical reference, like many of their lyrics are. if so, it's pronounced so as to rhyme with bewray. it means numbered, and Daniel translates it as "God gath numbered thy kingdom and finished it." this is also what they're loosely quoting on a knights tale when they say "you have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting."

  69. R.... R....

    Been waiting nearly seven years.

  70. J.... H....

    cats! 2:31

  71. C.... E....

    Huh... cats

  72. p.... ....

    i was looking for new memes on google but typod new mene and got here

  73. R.... 2....

    the first time i heard this song i was freaking out its flawless brand new have been one of my all time favorite bands ever since 2006 brand new mean the world to me in every single way The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me is my 3rd favortie album of all time. Mene is just flawless is so emotional ( but yet again everything brand new does is emoitional ) I have been a die hard, obsessive, cry over, freak out brand new fan since 2006 and they have never dissapointed me and Mene is no exception

    favorite Brand New albums in order
    1. The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me 1000000000000000000000000000000/10
    2. Deja Entendu 10/10
    3. Daisy 10/10
    4. Your Favorite Weapon 9/10

  74. R.... ....

    Throw back to grunge era, love it.

  75. E.... G....

    Can't wait for the new album!!!

  76. t.... ....

    This is the best R.E.M. song I've ever listened to.

    t.... ....

    this hurt my soul

  77. M.... ....

    I need them in PA. Badly.

  78. T.... C....

    This song is just an upbeat rip off of The Weakends: "Time is Tight"

    T.... C....

    +Travis Costello i hear it. but come on. come on. just srsly.

    T.... C....

    +swutted I'm not saying I hate brand new now. But it's definitely not their own.

    T.... C....

    +Travis Costello Mene was written circa 2006 just only released recently, The Weakends' self-titled was released in 2008.

    T.... C....

    +kwly I guess it's really easy to release a song in 2015 and then say after that, "oh we wrote this a while ago. We just never showed anyone."

    Which is funny to me because most of brand new's throw away has been leaked and released along with the album they were supposed to be on

    . Example is when flying at tree level never made it on deja entendu.

    The only fact that can be proven that this recording is released to the world in 2015. And the weakends released the same riff in 2008.

    Also, basing your facts of Wikipedia is red oculus, especially since anyone can edit that. As well as the fact that someone change the information within the past 26 days. There is no credibility.

    T.... C....

    +Travis Costello It would be but it could have easily been *written* and not *recorded* therefore, there was no recording to leak.


    It's three open chords that people literally learn in their first hour of guitar, the same riff being used twice is really not that crazy of a coincidence and has happened plenty before, most with a knowledge of keys could stumble upon this riff if they messed around in this key for an hour or two. Of course it's possible that they ripped this but I doubt they would because it's so simple and not the most creative (not bad mouthing that The Weakends song because I enjoy it a lot).


    Also, don't know why you are assuming I am basing my facts off Wikipedia when I have read the interview (http://vcr-funeral.tumblr.com/post/122861184817/the-sound-of-the-silence-rockzone-brand-new, third to last question)

  79. g.... l....

    my real name is mene

  80. l.... ....

    This is tight!

  81. B.... C....

    HM. cats.

  82. L.... ....

    Honestly hope they're producing the shit out of this album to make it as perfect as it can be. I realize they families now though, and that's why it's so hard to get this album out sooner.

  83. F.... ....

    RELEASE THE ALBUM ALREADY AAAAHHH

    PLEASE

    I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGERRR

    F.... ....

    @Kyle Herman yeah its always sad to know a band is coming to an end. im not a huge brand new fan compared to some people but it still makes me sad. and daisy is great, probably their best

    F.... ....

    +Fanchus Jesse said HOPEFULLY they will have a new record to play at their next set of live shows. Brand New is touring Canada Summer 2016. We could have new music by June.





    If you really want to hear recent music, they just rerecorded 'Nobody Moves'; from the 2006 Leaked Demos on Cassette. A nice little insight to see hear how Jesse sounds now.

    F.... ....

    +Kyle Herman I'm still confused about that time they had in the studio recently. Not sure if it was actually a new album being recorded, or just the remastering of the 2006 demos/2015 nobody moves.

    F.... ....

    +seemyownfuture I'm probably wrong but I think the new record/ep is in it's final stages of development. It doesn't make sense for them to be in the studio for several months without actually working on new material. And with this new US/Canada tour coming up, I would honestly be surprised if they wait until after the tour to at least properly announce a new record/ep. Then again it's Brand New so I wouldn't hold my breath.

    F.... ....

    @iamghost44 Don't think your wrong about a month ago Procrastinate announced there would be a Brand New LP this year at some point. 

    There was a rumour they are pressing a new vinyl for the tour, a 2 track vinyl. It could be anything but the way the person said it's something to get excited about. only a rumour so we can't be sure.

  84. J.... J....

    CATS lol

  85. R.... ....

    ...Could I have some more please?

    R.... ....

    huh, surprised this hasn't been flooded with "I heard this in the Vampire Diaries" yet...
    Cos I just did, and naw. They're getting more... mainstream? drat.

  86. A.... D....

    brand new never fails to amaze me

  87. R.... ....

    Um... Its spelled meme.

  88. G.... F....

    Is this song... brand new?
    hehehehehe.

  89. S.... G....

    Going back to their roots it seems

  90. d.... m....

    indie core???

  91. 0.... ....

    the cat lol

  92. M.... I....

    that local 7 clip though.

  93. W.... ....

    The verse sounds so much like Green Day - Holiday it's ridiculous. Honestly not really digging it

  94. C.... H....

    If you like Band New check out my band from NY, Crash The Calm.... just youtube search Crash The Calm... B.N. is a huge musical influence. you might be surprised at what you hear
