This World
Clan of Xymox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say "trust on us"
They say "our time will come"
And "your dreams will come alive"
One day, we will find
No way to cross this line
It's where our worlds collide

This world is not made for you and I
It's build on blood and a million lies

Some say "we don't fit in"
"We're lost in another world"
Their truth will never hold
'Cause, one's heart is one's soul
We're living, day by day
Let them wither, till they're old and grey

This world is not made for you and I
It's build on blood and a million lies

I was blind, but now I see
We are destined for misery
If you're lost, you won't be found
There is no guiding hand of destiny

This world is not made for you and I
It's build on blood and a million lies

They paint the fabric of our lives, down and out
With nowhere to hide
What you miss, what you need, what you lack is a peace of mind, our worlds collide

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "This World" by Clan of Xymox provide a bleak commentary on the state of the world and our individual places within it. The opening lines are a sort of false assurance from those in power, telling us to trust them and that our dreams will come true, yet the reality is that we will find "No way to cross this line" between those in power and those not. The chorus emphasizes this message, saying that "This world is not made for you and I" and that it is built on blood and lies.


The middle verses take a more personal approach, with the singer feeling out of place in this world, and being told they don't fit in or that they're lost in another world. Despite this, the singer asserts that we should live day by day and let those who don't understand wither away. The bridge of the song provides a somber acknowledgment of the harsh reality of our world, with the singer having once been blind but now seeing clearly that we are destined for misery and that there is no guiding hand of destiny.


Overall, "This World" is a dark yet poignant commentary on the state of our world and our place within it. It invokes feelings of hopelessness and despair, while also calling for listeners to live their lives as best they can despite the grim reality around them.
