The World Is Mine
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe this new life took in
Like a God that I'm under
There's drugs running through my veins
I believe in the wonder
I believe I can touch the flame
There's a spell that I'm under
Got to fly, I don't feel no shame
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
I've lost my fear to what appears
I do my best
(The world is mine)
You take the prize and realize
That's in your eyes
(The world is mine)
Take a look what you've started
In the world flashing from your eyes
And you know that you've got it
From the thunder you feel inside
I believe in the feeling
All the pain that you left to die
Believe in the living
In the life that you give to try
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
I've lost my fear to what appears
I do my best
(The world is mine)
You take the prize and realize
That's in your eyes
(The world is mine)
The world is mine
I've lost my fear to what appears
I do my best
(The world is mine)
You take the prize and realize
That's in your eyes
(The world is mine)
I've lost my fear to what appears
I do my best
(The world is mine)
You take the prize and realize
That's in your eyes
(The world is mine)
The lyrics of David Guetta's "The World Is Mine" exude an empowering sense of self-assurance and euphoria, infused with drug references and a god-like power trip. The refrain "The world is mine" repeats throughout the song, representing the feeling of invincibility that Guetta, as the singer of the song, feels. The lyrics appear to be autobiographical in nature, as if Guetta is exulting in his newfound popularity and success, basking in the adulation of his fans. The verse "I believe in the wonder/ I believe this new life took in/ Like a God that I'm under/ There's drugs running through my veins" is a clear reference to the exhilaration of taking drugs and being "under their influence," likely referencing Guetta's experiences with MDMA or other illicit substances during his DJ sets.
The line "Take a look what you've started/In the world flashing from your eyes/And you know that you've got it/From the thunder you feel inside" seems to suggest that Guetta is witnessing the impact of music on his audience, and that he can feel the energy and excitement emanating from them as he performs. The chorus's repetition of "The world is mine" reinforces the idea that Guetta is in control, with the power to make those in attendance feel as if they're on top of the world. The overarching theme of the song is the desire to be in control of one's life, with Guetta demonstrating just that through his music.
