Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Jazzystics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the
Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
The song "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Jazzystics is a powerful commentary on the human condition of ambition and the desire for power. It talks about how people are always competing against one another, even while they sleep. It is inevitable that someone will always want more power and control over others, and this can be seen in how we treat our environment, as the song suggests.
The first stanza talks about how we cannot escape our destiny or life, and that even while we sleep, our fate will find us. The second stanza discusses how people are always trying to be their best and turn their back on nature to get ahead. The chorus is the most powerful part of the song, clearly stating that "Everybody wants to rule the world." This shows that the desire for power is a universal human trait.
The song makes a statement about our own choices, and how the decisions we make affect our own lives. The line "It's my own design, it's my own remorse" suggests that the consequences of our actions are our own responsibility. It goes on to say that we should seek to make the most of our freedom and pleasure, as nothing lasts forever. The final section of the song discusses how people are often indecisive and lack vision. It implies that we need to be more certain in our choices and not be influenced by false information.
