The World Is Black
Good Charlotte Lyrics

Turn on channel 7 at a quarter to 8
The singer suggests watching the news to observe the monotonous pattern of the world.

You see the same damn thing its just a different day
Despite the passage of time, the world remains static and unchanging.

And no one really knows why this is happening
There is no clear explanation for the state of the world.

But its happening
The unfortunate events taking place in the world are a reality.

And everywhere you go its just a different place
The artist observes that no matter where you go, there is a sense of despair and hopelessness.

You get the same dark feeling
The singer experiences a feeling of gloom and pessimism while observing the world.

See the same sad faces
The people in the world are depicted as unhappy and discouraged.

No one really cares that this is happening
The artist feels that the problems facing the world are being ignored and neglected by society.

We come into this world
All humans enter the world and begin life in the same way.

We are all the same
There is no differentiation between humans at the moment of birth, and everyone has an equal starting point.

In that moment there's no one to blame
At the moment of birth, no one can be held responsible for the course of an individual's life.

But the world is black
The world is portrayed as a dark and negative place.

And hearts are cold
The singer believes that people in the world lack compassion and have become indifferent to one another's struggles.

And there's no hope
The singer feels that there is no possibility for positive change or improvement in the current state of the world.

That's what were told
This bleak outlook on the world is a common perspective that is frequently shared.

And we can't go back
There is no possibility of reversing the course of events that have led the world to its current state.

It won't be the same
The world has undergone an irreversible transformation and can never return to its previous state.

Forever changed
The changes that have taken place in the world are permanent and long-lasting.

By the things we've said
The singer implies that human actions have contributed to the negative state of the world.

Living in this place its always been this way
The artist suggests that the world has always been a bleak and despairing place.

There's no one doing nothing
The artist observes that there are no efforts being made to address or rectify the problems in the world.

So there's nothin' changed
The world has not experienced any positive changes or progress.

And I can't live when this world just keeps dyin'
The singer feels that it is difficult to exist in a world that is consistently deteriorating and getting worse.

People always tell me this is part of the plan
The artist is frustrated with the belief that the negative state of the world is predestined or part of a divine plan.

That gods got everybody in his hands
The singer references the concept of a higher power that has control over the course of human events.

But I could only pray that god is listening
The singer expresses hope that their prayers regarding the fate of the world are being heard by a higher power.

Growing colder every day
The world is depicted as becoming increasingly cold and unforgiving over time.

Nothing can stay perfect now I see
The artist recognizes that perfection is an unattainable ideal in the current state of the world.

By the things we've seen
The artist implies that the negative state of the world is a result of human experiences and observations.
