John Mayer – New Deep Lyrics 14 years ago
hmm i can totally relates to this song. see how nowadays it looks like everyone have an exciting live, going out, and doing something every day of their life. next to them, you feel like you are boring. they sometimes put a "certain pressure" on you, because you don't do much as them. like, if they are asking you what you are doing tonight, you would be like "not much.. staying home relaxing" they will then reply with "staying home on friday?? blah blah". as for me this song is made in a sarcastic ways to answer to those people.

I'm so alive
I'm so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
I've got a plan
I'm gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time

for me this means: "oh yeah! you are right, i got to be so cool like you, see now i'm so cool, i got so much things to do, such as finding how boring i am", i think those followed lines are pretty simple, in a certain way it means: i don't care how much i can appear to you, i am what i am.

Cause ever since I tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It's been fine
I've been cool
With my new golden rule

i think those lines are pretty clear. it just means don't over think. sometimes when something happens to you, you keep thinking about it and create more problems than there was at first. people often tell me that i think way too much about everything, i'm getting paranoid and stuff because i see issues in everything. his new golden rule is "numb is the new deep"

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

but "numb is the new deep" isn't really his "new golden rule", its just a sarcastic way to explain how he thinks from now on. those 3 lines means in a certain way "okay im gonna change myself now, ill be what you guys want me to be! im no more what i used to be! (done with the old me)", but in reality, all of this is pretty sarcastic which brings to this real meaning: "im not going to change myself for you. i am what i am" and that is his new golden rule

but that is my perspective of this song, and its good that everyone has their own opinions

this is what makes music beautiful, theres no limit :D
