Another World
Brian May (Queen) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In another world
Under another sky
I see another story waiting
To be told

And another you, wakes up
With another me
For that's the way we've come to be
In another world

In a different place
Way 'cross time and space
The door is open wide
Drawn to a different light
Maybe we'll step inside

In another world
We can show we care
You can be sure I'm waiting there
In another world

When the dice were cast
They laid a crazy path we follow to our graves
But I know in different world
We journey a different way

So we live but life
Isn't what it seems
We're only living in our dreams
In another world





You can believe I'll meet you here
In another world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Brian May's song Another World speak to the idea that there may be other versions of ourselves and other realities waiting for us in other places. The opening lines "In another world, under another sky" set the scene for what May imagines this other world to be like. He suggests that there is another story waiting to be told, and that it involves different versions of himself and his audience.


May paints a picture of a place that exists in "a different place way 'cross time and space," and where the door is "open wide" to those who are drawn to a different light. The lyrics suggest that there is a freedom to explore and to step inside to discover what this different world has in store. May seems to be suggesting that while our current reality may be limiting or even flawed, there is hope that we can find a new way of living "in another world."


The final lines of the song express a sense of reassurance, that even though we may be living in our dreams, we can find comfort in knowing that we will meet those we care about again "in another world."

In another world
Under another sky
I see another story waiting to be told
And another you
Wakes up with another me
For that's the way we've come to be
In another world
In a different place
Way across time and space
A door is open wide
Drawn to a different light
Maybe we'll step inside
In another world
We can show we care
You can be sure I'm waiting there
In another world
Oh, yeah ...
When the dice were cast
They laid a crazy path
We follow to our graves
But I know in a different world
We journey a different way
So we live
But life isn't what it seems
We're only living in our dreams
In another world
You can believe I'll meet you here
In another world
