Different World
Alan Walker K-391 Sofia Carson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left untold
Beaten by a broken dream
Nothing like what it used to be (used to be)
We've been chasing our demons down an empty road
Been watching our castle turning into dust
Escaping our shadows just to end up here
And we both know
This is not the world we had in mind
But we got time
We are stuck on answers we can't find
But we got time
And even though we might have lost tonight
The skyline reminds us of a different time
This is not the world we had in mind
But we got time
Broken smile, tired eyes
I can feel your longing heart
Call my name, howling from afar
We've been fighting our demons just to stay afloat
Been building a castle just to watch it fall
Been running forever just to end up here
Once more
And now we know
This is not the world we had in mind
But we got time
We are stuck on answers we can't find
But we got time
And even though we might have lost tonight
The skyline reminds us of a different time
This is not the world we had in mind
But we got time
Take me back
Back to the mountainside
Under the Northern Lights
Chasing the stars
Take me back
Back to the mountainside
When we were full of life
Back to the start
And we both know that
This is not the world we had in mind
But we got time
We are stuck on answers we can't find
But we got time
And even though we might have lost tonight
The skyline reminds us of a different time
This is not the world we had in mind
But we got time
The lyrics of Alan Walker's "Different World" convey a profound sense of loss and nostalgia, as well as a lingering hope for a better future. The opening lines speak of things left unsaid and unfulfilled dreams, suggesting a sense of disappointment and regret. The image of a broken dream is particularly poignant, as it evokes a sense of shattered aspirations and unfulfilled potential.
The next lines reveal that the singer (presumably Alan Walker) has been struggling with his inner demons and facing challenges that have reduced his once-mighty "castle" to "dust." Despite the setbacks, however, the singer expresses a determination to keep going and to make things better. The repeated refrain of "But we got time" suggests a sense of faith in the future, even in the face of adversity.
The last stanza returns to the image of a "mountainside under the Northern Lights" and a time when life was full of promise and possibility. This nostalgic longing for a simpler, happier time adds another layer of emotion to the song's message, as the singer seeks to recapture that lost magic and find hope in the present.

The dream that we had earlier has shattered us
Nothing like what it used to be (used to be)
It's not the same as we used to know it
We've been chasing our demons down an empty road
We have been constantly struggling to overcome our fears and doubts
Been watching our castle turning into dust
Our dreams and achievements are slowly fading away
Escaping our shadows just to end up here once more
We tried to run away from our problems, but we are still facing them
And we both know
Both of us are aware
This is not the world we had in mind
The world we pictured in our heads isn't our reality
But we got time
We have enough time to change and improve our current situation
We are stuck on answers we can't find
We are struggling to find solutions to our problems
And even though we might have lost tonight
Although we might have failed in our endeavors today
The skyline reminds us of a different time
Looking at the skyline makes us nostalgic about the past
Broken smile, tired eyes
Our smile is broken and our eyes are weary
I can feel your longing heart
I can sense the desire in your heart
Call my name, howling from afar
You are calling out my name from a distance
We've been fighting our demons just to stay afloat
We have been battling our inner demons just to keep going
Been building a castle just to watch it fall
We have been working hard to achieve our goals, but they haven't come to fruition
Been running forever just to end up here once more
We have been on the move for a long time, yet we are still in the same place
And now we know
We have finally realized
Take me back
Bring me back to
Back to the mountainside
The landscape of the mountain
Under the Northern Lights
As we gaze up at the Aurora Borealis
Chasing the stars
Pursuing our dreams
When we were full of life
When we were energetic and enthusiastic
Back to the start
Back to the beginning

99% save earth
1% actually saving earth
Edit:- I uploaded this comment 1 year ago, I found out that individually you can save earth, just by adopting plant base diet or less consumption of meat, here. Some reason
1- 70% agricultural land used to feed livestock, by this huge production of plants we can easily solve world hunger
2- 45% of plastic in ocean are fish nets
3- meat and diary industry use 1/3 of world fresh water
Its is also an approach toward reducing a suffering for billion of animals that are suffering in farms the seconds you are reading this
If you really really care about earth, don't let your taste buds be more important than earth
Have a great day!

Heres my version from the rest,
I feel faded,
I feel tired,
Because I am afraid of the spectre,
So leave me alone,
Or you can sing me too sleep,
Once it ignite,
And it all falls down,
We will fall into the darkside,
Give us a different world,
And our heart will turn into a diamond heart.
Hope you guys liked it :)
