Tenesse is Mine
David Guetta & Bob Sinclar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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)

Overall Meaning

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.

Lyrics:

Wild city living 
In takes my breathe away 
But I'm not living 
The way I ought to be 
Check it out, there's surely 
Something missing 
Got to move, on, before I hit the ground

I hear you calling 
I see your beauty in my mind 
A piece of heaven 
A place where living is easy 
Check it out, I still recall the feeling 
Got to find me a way 
Somehow, got to make it back, to Tennessee

Chasing the rainbow, shooting for the moon 
Aiming much too high, getting so confused 
I'm all out of luck 
I'm all out of love 
Guess I...I just had enough

Now my western tears 
Remind me of my home 
And my western heart reminds me I'm alone 
But my heart is sure that love will guide the way 
Now my western soul goes, back, to Tennessee

@Sarcasmo

It's downright shameful that I LIVE in Tennessee (Nashville even) and I'm JUST NOW hearing this song for the first time in 2014. Great song!

@Amiral_Tertho

It is crazy to see that Bob Sinclar is so well known abroad, while he is not that listened to in France ! Great song anyways !

@odumoulin

He used to. Back in 2000's but I think France wasn't ready and willing to receive what he had to offer. That's a shame 🙄

@benm.16

The last time I heard this song was 10 years ago, how time flies...

Música incrível que escutei em uma viagem com os meus 2 irmãos mais velhos de madrugada , que viagem agradável e inesquecível, está música certamente é a trilha sonora da viagem.

@matheus6894

Que legal, Clóvis! Obrigado por compartilhar. Hoje tenho 23 anos, mas na época era pré-adolescente já muito movido pela música (hoje sou guitarrista de blues haha). Na época gostava muito de música eletrônica e queria ser DJ ahhahahah
