A World Apart
Davis Redfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A way to introduce myself
Away my mood to question
That I disguise as someone else
A shadow in the mirror, I m trying not to give a damn
But it s becoming clearer,
A contradiction for I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
[Chorus]
A world apart, take another girl I am
Look into her eyes, no apologies
Cause I realize there are 2 of me,
A world apart, take another girl I am
Sick of my pretending, I m anything except for real
Don t mask away this ending, you wanna know what I conceal
A hell inside the heaven, a battleground is what I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
[Chorus]
A world apart, take another girl I am
A world apart, take another girl I am
Look into her eyes, no appologies
Cause I realize there are 2 of me,
A world apart, take another girl I am
Don t want you re frigthened to see
And down you go, 3, 2, 1
Both of them in my ...
Don t wanna throw up the key
And set you free, both them in my ...
A world apart, apart, apart, apart, apart, apart
A world apart, apart, apart, apart, apart, apart
A world apart, apart, apart, apart, apart, apart.
The song "A World Apart" by Davis Redfield talks about the singer's desire to introduce himself to the world as he really is, without any pretense or disguise. The lyrics describe him as a shadow in the mirror, a contradiction to himself as he struggles with his identity. He realizes that he presents two different versions of himself to the world and admonishes himself for his tendency to disguise his true self.
The chorus repeats the phrase "a world apart" several times, which seems to allude to a deep divide between the singer's true self and the self he presents to the world. He talks about taking "another girl" in place of himself, suggesting that he feels as though he needs to be someone else to be accepted. He recognizes that he's sick of pretending to be anything but himself and that he wants to reveal what he's been concealing.
The verses describe the singer's internal struggle even further, with lines like "a hell inside the heaven" and "a battleground is what I am." These lyrics suggest that he experiences a lot of inner turmoil, as he works to reconcile the two different versions of himself. Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the difficulty of being oneself in a world that often rewards conformity or masks individuality.
