From the Top of the World
My Brightest Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There waits my wind to carry me
Through storms we will sail
Just to gaze at the top of the world
From the bottom of the world
We looked up and saw the moon
And gazing at it then we fell
In love, in love
So we made up our minds
To arrive smiling
Yet we made up our minds
To touch the height of life
And find out what we felt for it
How we felt for it, oh, how we felt for it
From the top of the world
We looked up and saw the sun
And gazing at it then we fell
In love, in love

At the end of the sea
At the farthest point of the ocean
There waits my wind to carry me
The wind that will lead me towards my destination
Through storms we will sail
We will navigate through harsh conditions
Just to gaze at the top of the world
To reach the highest point possible and admire the view
From the bottom of the world
At the lowest point on Earth
We looked up and saw the moon
Observing the allure and beauty of the moon from below
And gazing at it then we fell
Captivated by its charm, we fell in love with the moon
In love, in love
Deeply infatuated with the moon
So we made up our minds
We decided for ourselves
To arrive smiling
To be enthusiastic and joyful when we reach our goal
Yet we made up our minds
Despite any challenges that may arise, we remained determined
To touch the height of life
To experience all that life has to offer
And find out what we felt for it
To discover our emotional response towards life
How we felt for it, oh, how we felt for it
How passionately we felt about life
From the top of the world
At the highest point of the Earth's surface
We looked up and saw the sun
Admiring the magnificence and beauty of the sun from above
And gazing at it then we fell
Falling in love with the sun's radiant glow and warmth
In love, in love
Deeply infatuated with the sun

The hair and clothes are stunning, the puppets beautifully crafted, and the song a masterpiece. I love it.
@mugrhythm
Could this be My Brightest Diamond's best tune? I submit that it is!
@SuperFreak721
This is so cool! It reminds me so much of the French/English film "The Science of Sleep"!!! I love it. If you don't know that movie then you should watch it and then watch this music video, you will appreciate it so much more!
@cam214
So very splendid, Shara! You guys should come to Austin sometime!
@GlassMana
One of my favorite songs after many years. From the lack of subscribers and attention the channel seems to have gotten, I expected MBD to have stopped putting music here a long time ago, but nope. New music to the channel only a few months ago. So many lesser-known talented artists in the world.
