In A World Of My Own
Camarata Chorus and Orchestra feat. Darlene Gillespie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would reside in fancy little houses
And be dressed in shoes and hats and trousers
In a world of my own
All the flowers
Would have very extra special powers
They would sit and talk to me for hours
There'd be new birds
Lots of nice and friendly "how do you do" birds
Everyone would only a dozen blue birds
Within that world of my own
No more travel for the greatest as problems
With the things are changes understand
And the somehow things cold be that way
My little world would be a wonderland.
The lyrics to "In a World of My Own" describe a utopian fantasy world where everything is whimsical and surreal. The singer imagines cats and rabbits living in houses while dressed in clothes, similar to how humans live. This idea suggests a world where boundaries between different species are not as rigid, and all creatures live in harmony. The flowers in this world also have unique powers, and they communicate with the singer. The mere presence of these flowers is enough to make the singer feel less lonely.
The lyrics also mention new birds that are friendly and greet everyone they meet. This creates an image of a world where kindness and hospitality are essential values. The singer further imagines that only blue birds would exist, which may represent a longing for a simplified and less chaotic world. By creating this fantastical world, the singer seeks refuge from the problems of the real world.
Overall, "In a World of My Own" is a vivid depiction of an alternate reality. It presents a whimsical and dreamy world that transports the singer away from the harsh realities of daily life. It also suggests that the singer may prefer to live in a world where different creatures and items can coexist peacefully.
