《New Divide》是林肯公园为《变形金刚2》电影量身定做的主题曲。歌曲的电影原声音轨由斯蒂夫·贾布隆斯基完成，汉斯·季默则帮忙加快工作进度。关于“New Divide”这个名字的含义，官方说法是暗指威震天的复活，而电影《变形金刚1》的插曲也是由林肯公园演唱的《What I've Done》。
歌曲歌词
英文
I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth
That lies across this new divide
There was nothing in sight
But memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between
Where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide
In every loss in every lie
In every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth
That lies across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
中文
我忆起乌云满天
四下里电闪雷鸣
我忆起每个瞬间
岁月恍惚而过
这凶兆惊现
终不能逃脱厄运
只能听到你在说
这是我罪有应得
给我个理由
证明我错
将所有记忆涤清
让洪流飞越你眼里的深渊
给我理由
填满豁口
将这断路铺平
让苦楚收手，直达真理彼岸
让谎言穿越新的分歧
眼前一片漆黑
记忆尘封已久
没有藏身之所
灰烬飞扬如雪
在你我之间，天已崩塌地已陷落
只能听到你在说
这是我罪有应得
给我个理由
证明我错
将所有记忆涤清
让洪流飞越你眼里的深渊
让谎言穿越新的分歧
每一次失败
每一个谎言
每个真相你都会否认
每次反悔
每次分开
都已错到无可抵赖
只能听到你在说
这是我罪有应得
给我个理由
证明我错
将所有记忆涤清
让洪流飞越你眼里的深渊
给我个理由
填满豁口
将这断路铺平
让苦楚收手，直达真理彼岸
让谎言穿越新的分歧
跨越这新界线
跨越这新界线
歌曲鉴赏
歌曲再次延续了《What I’ve Done》的风格，而且《New Divide》完美地捕捉到了电影《变形金刚2》的精髓。《New Divide》是一首完全没有说唱的全摇滚歌曲，这或许印证了乐队风格的细微转变。不过它依然出色地满足了一部暑期大片主题曲的所有要求：大气磅礴的歌词、对道德冲突的追问和解答以及对儿女情长的一笑而过。和其他作品一样，这首歌是以查斯特·贝宁顿宏大而奔放的独唱开场，随着鼓声的爆响，曲调直入云霄，似有山雨欲来之势;冷酷的金属感不仅与电影的主题相得益彰，和乐队一贯以来的锐利风格也是一脉相承。
