The World
Granian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
watch me walk and watch me fall
flower pot sits in the window, staring at, staring at
the world
in my eyes
the world
perfect blue skies
memories are jaded, with fingerpaint
want to bring, want to bring, want to watch me see
the world
in my eyes
the world
perfect blue skies
grow up kid your destiny calls you
nothing left to prove
all my life been proud of direction,
but proud for who
Can't be real and so I close my eyes
(the world__in my eyes)
Look ahead, all is perfect blue skies
(the world__ perfect blue skies)
Can you see my world?
in my eyes
the world is fading, still fading
The lyrics of Granian's song "The World" describe a reflective person who is walking while observing their surroundings. The grass is green, the trees are tall, and there is a flower pot in the window that keeps staring at them. The person is lost in thought and sees the world through their eyes. The memories of this person are jaded, faded by time like fingerpaint that keeps on fading. The person wants to bring something new, to watch something different, and all they can see is the perfect blue skies above them.
In the next verse, the person is advised to grow up and move on, but they wonder what they have left to prove. They have been proud of their direction all their life but for whom are they proud? The person's world is fading, and they doubt its reality, thus choosing to close their eyes to it. Nonetheless, the person proceeds to look ahead, and all they see are perfect blue skies. In the end, they ask if others can see the world through their eyes.
Overall, the lyrics of the song "The World" speak to a person's internal struggles of purpose, reality, and memory. The person is lost in thought and reminisces on what they have accomplished in their life and what their future holds. The song ends on the hopeful note that even though the world may be fading, the person is still capable of seeing beauty in the perfect blue skies above them.
