Something in the air 00:24
Is telling me to go there 00:27
So I'll follow my nose 00:30
Go wherever it goes 00:33
It's calling from around the corner 00:36
Waiting just outside of town 00:38
Trailing vapors sweet and tangy 00:39
Daring me to track it down 00:41
It's blanketing the high-rise towers 00:45
Blasting through the sands of time 00:47
It's useless to resist its power 00:48
It's now or never 00:50
(So fresh) 00:51
I'll search until I find it 00:53
(So fresh) 00:54
I'm closing in behind it 00:56
(So fresh) 00:57
Nothing could be better 00:59
(So fresh) 01:01
Like I died and went to heaven 01:02
So fresh it almost makes me want to cry 01:05
So fresh it's givin' me a second life 01:11
01:17
I see a fork in the road 01:23
Where it goes? I don't know 01:26
I won't even think twice 01:30
I really don't have a choice 01:33
It's calling from around the corner 01:36

Lyrics & Translation

If you're looking to dive into the language of New Wave and satirical rock, 'Fresh' is a perfect entry point. The lyrics use simple, evocative language of desire and compulsion ("follow my nose," "useless to resist") to deliver a deep-cut critique of pop culture and marketing, embodying Devo's signature dry humor and social commentary. It's special for being a high-energy return to form for the band after a 20-year hiatus, proving their synth-pop sound and message of 'de-evolution' were still 'fresh' for a new decade.

[English]
Something in the air
Is telling me to go there
So I'll follow my nose
Go wherever it goes
It's calling from around the corner
Waiting just outside of town
Trailing vapors sweet and tangy
Daring me to track it down
It's blanketing the high-rise towers
Blasting through the sands of time
It's useless to resist its power
It's now or never
(So fresh)
I'll search until I find it
(So fresh)
I'm closing in behind it
(So fresh)
Nothing could be better
(So fresh)
Like I died and went to heaven
So fresh it almost makes me want to cry
So fresh it's givin' me a second life
...
I see a fork in the road
Where it goes? I don't know
I won't even think twice
I really don't have a choice
It's calling from around the corner
Waiting just outside of town
Trailing vapors sweet and tangy
Daring me to track it down
It's blanketing the high-rise towers
Blasting through the sands of time
It's useless to resist its power
It's now or never
(So fresh)
I'll search until I find it
(So fresh)
I'm closing in behind it
(So fresh)
Nothing could be better
(So fresh)
Like I died and went to heaven
(So fresh)
(So fresh)
(So fresh)
(So fresh)
So fresh it almost makes me want to cry
So fresh it's givin' me a second life
So fresh it almost makes me want to cry
So fresh it's givin' me a second life
So fresh!
