THE WORLD
.hack SIGN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
The fields are filled with desires
All voices crying for freedom
There's only you to answer you, forever
In blinded mind you are singing
A glorious hallelujah
The distant flutter of angels
They're all too far, too far to reach for you
I am here alone again
In my sweet serenity
Hoping you will ever find me in any place
I will call it solitude when all my songs fade in vain
In my voice, far away to eternity
The lyrics of the song THE WORLD by .hack SIGN depict an individual who finds themselves alone, hiding from reality and seeking solitude. The first verse suggests that this person may have retreated from the world due to overwhelming pressure or isolation. The line, "All too calm, you hide yourself from reality" suggests that this person may be suppressing their true feelings and emotions in order to maintain a sense of false calmness. Additionally, the question, "Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?" implies that this person may believe that their isolation is an escape from the demands of the outside world.
The second verse describes a world filled with desires, where people are crying out for freedom. However, the individual is unable to hear their cries and is left feeling alone. The line, "There's only you to answer you, forever" highlights the loneliness this individual feels in their attempts to find solace within themselves. The chorus describes a person singing a glorious hallelujah, seemingly at peace with their solitude, despite the distant flutter of angels, suggesting that despite their loneliness, they are content with where they are.
In the final verse, the perspective shifts to the singer who is also alone, but in this case, they are hopeful that the person they are singing about will find them. They equate their own solitude to that described in the first verse, and they too will call it solitude when all their songs fade in vain. The lyrics suggest a deep sense of longing for connection and understanding, as well as acceptance of the idea that solitude can be both comforting and lonely.
