Top Of The World
Bjoÿÿrk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
But the sun in my eyes
And I wouldn't be surprised that it's a dream
Everything I was about to be
Is now coming true especially for me
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I see
I'm on the top of the world
Down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
Yea that puts me on the top of the world
Something in the water is taking over me
And it's telling me the things I'll never say
And the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a place and sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When the day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be
Just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you will share
On the top of the world
And she's down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
Yeah that puts me on the top of the world
[odd voice]
I'm on the top of the world
Down on creation
And the only explanation that I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
Yeah that puts me at the top of the world
(repeat 3x)
The lyrics to Bjoÿÿrk's song Top of the World describes the overwhelming feeling of happiness and wonder that the singer is experiencing. She describes a beautiful sight of nature without a cloud in the sky and the sun shining in her eyes which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the light of love shining in her life. The chorus repeats the singer's joyful exclamation of being on top of the world, in both a literal and figurative sense. The singer acknowledges that the only explanation for this newfound joy is the love she's found ever since the person she's singing to has been around.
The second verse suggests that the singer shares a deep connection with the person that the song is addressed to. She describes an inexplicable feeling of being taken over by "something in the water," causing her to say things that she wouldn't usually express. This connection carries over into the bridge of the song, where the singer expresses her hope that happiness will continue to be shared tomorrow between them.
The overall message of the song is gratitude and happiness in response to the love and connection that she has found. In the end, the singer repeats the refrain once again, cementing her joy at being at the top of the world.

Such a feeling's coming over me
I am experiencing an overwhelming emotion
There is wonder in most everything I see
I find amazement in all that surrounds me
Not a cloud in the sky
The sky is clear and cloudless
But the sun in my eyes
The sun's brightness is affecting my vision
And I wouldn't be surprised that it's a dream
I wouldn't be shocked if this experience turns out to be a figment of my imagination
Everything I was about to be
All that I was aspiring to become
Is now coming true especially for me
My dreams and aspirations are becoming a reality, particularly for me
And the reason is clear
The explanation is evident
It's because you are here
It is because you are with me
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I see
You are the closest I can get to heaven
I'm on the top of the world
I am experiencing the height of bliss
Down on creation
Looking down on everything else in the world
And the only explanation I can find
The only reason that makes sense to me
Is the love that I've found
It is the love that I have discovered
Ever since you've been around
Ever since I have had you in my life
Yea that puts me on the top of the world
That is what makes me feel like I am on top of the world
Something in the water is taking over me
There is an unknown force affecting me
And it's telling me the things I'll never say
It is conveying to me things I would never voice aloud
And the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
The rustling of the leaves and the caress of the wind
There's a place and sense of happiness for me
I have discovered a source of joy within myself
There is only one wish on my mind
I have just a single desire
When the day is through I hope that I will find
At the end of the day, I hope to discover
That tomorrow will be
That the following day will bring
Just the same for you and me
The same level of consistency for both of us
All I need will be mine if you will share
If you are willing to share with me, I will have all that I require
And she's down on creation
My love is in a lower position than me
[odd voice]

There is wonder in 'most ev'ry thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be

There is only one wish on my mind
