Worlds Apart
Allen/Olzon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
NEVER BEEN MORE ALONE IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU STAY
CAN'T YOU SEE, CAN'T YOU FEEL. I'M RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
I'M ALIVE, I AM REAL. I DON'T WANT YOU TO HIDE
SO CLOSE BUT FAR AWAY
I CAN TRAVEL NIGHT AND DAY
WORLDS APART
NO MATTER HOW CLOSE WE ARE
NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY
WE ARE WORLDS APART
ALL IS BLACK ,ALL IS DARK I CAN'T FIND THE LIGHT
WHAT EVER I TRY TO DO. I CAN NEVER GET IT RIGHT
TAKE MY HAND TAKE IT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
I WILL LEAD YOU BACK , GUIDE YOU HOME, THIS IS NOT OUR FATE
SO CLOSE BUT FAR AWAY
I CAN TRAVEL NIGHT AND DAY
I CAN SEARCH FOR A LIFETIME WITHOUT FINDING YOU
WORLDS APART
NO MATTER HOW CLOSE WE ARE
NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY
WE ARE WORLDS APART
SO CLOSE BUT FAR AWAY
I CAN TRAVEL NIGHT AND DAY
I CAN SEARCH FOR A LIFETIME WITHOUT FINDING YOU
WORLDS APART
NO MATTER HOW CLOSE WE ARE
NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY
WE ARE WORLDS APART
NO MATTER HOW CLOSE WE ARE
NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY
WE ARE WORLDS APART
The lyrics of "Worlds Apart" by Allen/Olzon speak of the separation between two people who are physically close yet emotionally distant. The singer wants to assure the other person that they are by their side, even though they feel alone. The distance between them is not just physical but also emotional and mental, and the singer tries to bridge this gap by extending a hand of support.
The first stanza talks about the irony of being in close proximity to someone, yet feeling a thousand miles away. The second stanza recognizes the pain and confusion of feeling lost, and the frustration of not being able to find a solution. The chorus repeats the refrain that no matter how close they are, they are still worlds apart. It emphasizes the theme of separation, despite their proximity.
In the third stanza, the singer encourages the other person to take their hand and not to give up. They assure them that they will help guide them back home, and that they can overcome the distance between them. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the theme of separation and the fact that they are still worlds apart.
The lyrics of "Worlds Apart" reflect the universal theme of the struggle to connect with someone emotionally, despite being physically close. The singer acknowledges that sometimes the distance between two people can be insurmountable, but they also offer hope that it is possible to bridge that gap with effort and support.

Their voices compliment each other so insanely well. These two are sounding better than ever lately!

me parece magico como mi cantante favorito de Metal Progresivo, ha creado un proyecto con la ex cantante de una de mis bandas favoritas (Nightwish) ❤️✨ amo mucho cuando dos personalidades importantes del Metal se unen 😍
Luis Parra
Anette triunfando como siempre 👏🤘💅🏼❤️

It’s crazy how Tarja and Anette found separate ways and never gave up and they are both doing absolutely better than ever. I love Tarja and Anette dearly.

Why hasn’t Russell made a solo album like this? Just him and no other vocalist. I think it would be amazing

Annette's evolution from that unjustly criticized singer to who she's now is amazing. Allen is one of my favorite singers. Great combo
Luis Garcia
incredible. After Nightwish, everything Anette did, for me, is wonderful. Shine is a very good solo album, the Dark Element is fantastic, and this song is very catchy. Hope Anette don't drop from her music career, i'm a fan.

The three are totally different is styles but NW best selling albums are with Olzon and the ones with floor, well that's pretty much where they stayed.

@Joshua Brenton oddly, I cant really get into Floor's albums. I like some songs, others not so much. Imaginaerum, Century Child and Once in that order have to be my favourite albums.
Joshua Brenton
@Mecha82 fucking absolutely! I second that, don't get me wrong, the 2 with Anette were good, but Floor is like the best female vocalist in the world overall, hello! And the stuff with Tarja had that medieval feel that old school Nightwish fans fell in love with. However, that being said both Tarja and Anette have well exceeded my and most fans' expectations post-Nightwish, for sure! Glad to see they both keep rocking and even though Floor is the best female vox in the world, her work with Nightwish falls a little flat for me compared to her work in After Forever for sure. So, 1. Tarja Nightwish, 2. Floor Nightwish, 3. Anette Nightwish, outside of Nightwish 1. Floor, 2. Anette, 3. Tarja, my opinion...
