New Religion Lyrics

I've been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there, man, it's no go
Don't go there boy

I need a reason
I can't think...

    I have no idea, the song is a mystery. A lot of early Duran Duran is.

    I think this song was[is] about temptation and misguidance to take the bait for the newest fad to ''buy and belong'' to as a new religion to empower self-centerness,self-greed,narcissism etc., all to make the Me, Myself and I[ego] like that's the most important ''Thing'' for you. In that where the Superego is struggling to keep it cool for your real self not to go off The Beaten Path and into indulgence.

    The Song Is Described In The "Rio" Liner Notes As "A Dialogue Between The Ego And The Alter-Ego", Which Is Reflected In The Chorus, Where Two Conflicting Voices Sing On Top Of Each Other.

    The original subtitle to this song explains the lyrics - a dialogue between the ego and the alter-ego.

    I think New Religion is about an obsession, an addiction, or an infatuation with a person, object, etc..
