Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Worlds above
Worlds below
Here worlds collide
World of fire
World of ice
Here worlds slide
Worlds profane
Worlds divine
Here worlds combine
Worlds below
Worlds above
Worlds beyond time
Stars fall




Flames arise
Here are worlds sublime

Overall Meaning

The lyrics indicate a sense of harmony towards the metaphysical universe and the universe that’s grounded in reality. The concept that worlds submerge to create something new is recurring throughout the song, and the idea of the sublime is introduced in the final verses of the lyrics.
