Another World
Conception Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone are staring
I want to get out of here
Dropping out, want to shout
In despair I'm fighting
I'm living in a world filled with fear
It's in my mind, won't go away
Who are you my guest
Falling down to the abyss
Feels like I'm dreaming
But this is real, I can't escape
Secrets unknown will be revealed
I thought that all was lost
secrets unknown will be revealed
Looking into another world
Intuition telling me:
Look into the future
My hope is growing strong
Horrorstruck, go away
I can't see the daylight
The time is running away from me
Gonna be, be your friend
If you want to let me
I'm standing by a crossroad
Here I am, take me now
Into your arms I'll fall
I feel secure hiding in you
Secrets unknown will be revealed
Darkness around you
Despair surrounds
The remaining parts of your mind
Pain growing stronger
Can't take it no longer
It's tearing your soul apart
Secrets unknown will be revealed
I thought that all was lost
Secrets unknown will be revealed
I will survive I'm gonna live
Looking into another, another...
Another world
The song "Another World" by Conception is a powerful and emotional track that deals with themes of fear, isolation, and despair. The opening lines describe a protagonist who is feeling scared and doesn't know why, surrounded by people who are staring at him or her. The lyrics suggest that the singer is overwhelmed by their own sense of despair and is struggling to find a way out of their own mind.
As the song progresses, the singer begins to contemplate the idea of looking into the future, hoping that it will bring a sense of hope and security. However, this hope is quickly dashed as the lyrics turn to themes of darkness and pain. The singer is described as being torn apart by their own fears and uncertainties, unable to find a way out of the darkness that surrounds them.
The final lines of the song offer a glimmer of hope, as the singer reaches out to someone who might be able to help them. They offer to be a friend, and ask to be taken into someone's arms, where they might find safety and security. Despite the overwhelming sense of despair that runs through the song, the final lyrics suggest that there is still hope, and that the singer might be able to find a way out of the darkness that surrounds them.

Feeling scared, don't know why
I am experiencing fear but cannot determine the source
Everyone are staring
Others around me are observing my behavior
I want to get out of here
I desire to escape this situation
Dropping out, want to shout
I feel defeated and have the urge to scream
In despair I'm fighting
Despite feeling hopeless, I am putting up a struggle
I'm living in a world filled with fear
My surroundings are causing me constant anxiety
It's in my mind, won't go away
The fear is internalized and persistent
Just like an obsession
The fear feels compulsive and uncontrollable
Who are you my guest
A mysterious presence is accompanying me
Falling down to the abyss
I feel like I am losing control and spiraling downward
Feels like I'm dreaming
The situation seems surreal and disconnected from reality
But this is real, I can't escape
The feeling is not imaginary and cannot be ignored
Secrets unknown will be revealed
Mysteries will soon come to light

I am ready to take action
Into your arms I'll fall
I am seeking comfort and security

The other person brings me a sense of safety and trust
Darkness around you
The other person is surrounded by negativity
Despair surrounds
The situation is filled with hopelessness
The remaining parts of your mind
The last shreds of your sanity
Pain growing stronger
The distress is becoming more intense
Can't take it no longer
I have reached my breaking point
It's tearing your soul apart
The experience is having a deep and negative impact on me
I will survive I'm gonna live
I am determined to persevere and overcome the situation
Looking into another, another...
