The World
Dj Uber Feat. Matt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring out the window
Watching as the rain comes down
Waiting as the cars go by
Cruel world
Footsteps in the hallway
Music on the radio
Shouting in the streets below
Cruel world
Search for feelings I cannot find
Look for faces I left behind
All these moments I can't rewind
Driving through the city
Tail lights and painted lines
Broken dreams in neon signs
Cruel world
Look for faces I left behind
Search in places I cannot find
All these moments now lost in time
Staring out the window
Watching as the rain comes down




Waiting as the world goes by
This cruel world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "The World" by DJ Uber Feat. Matt are a reflection on the inherent cruelty of the world we live in. The singer is staring out the window, watching the rain come down and the cars go by, while feeling overwhelmed by the harsh reality of life. They hear footsteps in the hallway and music on the radio, but the outside world is harsh and chaotic with shouting in the streets below. The world is described as cruel and unforgiving, with broken dreams represented by neon signs, and lost moments that cannot be regained.


The lyrics also convey a sense of nostalgia and regret, as the singer searches for feelings they cannot find and looks for faces they left behind. The cityscape they are driving through is filled with tail lights and painted lines, representing the constant motion and transience of life. The world is portrayed as a place where moments are easily lost in time, leaving the singer feeling helpless and disillusioned.


Overall, the lyrics speak to the human experience of feeling lost and adrift in a world that can be harsh and unforgiving. The singer is searching for meaning and connection in a world that seems to offer little of either, and is left with a sense of longing and unfulfilled desire.
