Different World
Jes Hudak & George Krikes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sailing alone, traveling nowhere
and you've been running on hard ground
With just you around
Your heartbeat's the only sound
But I know, once in a while we will find
The sound of your heart beats with mine
I'll leave the ocean behind
So I'll look out for a lighthouse
See through the fog, Search the horizon
You'll be like in a movie
Where everything stops; You can see clearly now
But I know, once in a while we will find
The sound of your heart beats with mine
And when it's time
I'll leave the ocean behind
Ooooooooohhh
I'll leave the ocean behind
Oooooooohhh
'Cause I know, once in a while we will find
The sound of your heart beats with mine
And someday, the crash of the waves will be far away
And I will sail in your eyes
'Cause when it's time
I'll leave the ocean behind
The lyrics of Jes Hudak & George Krikes's song "Different World" create a story of two individuals who are metaphorically living in different worlds, yet they know that their destinies are intertwined. The song portrays one person as being lost at sea, wandering aimlessly with no direction, while the other is navigating through life on solid ground but feels lonely without anyone to share it with. Both individuals are searching for something that they feel incomplete without. However, the song raises the possibility of two worlds that may collide and create something significant. Once in a while, the two individuals will meet, and their hearts will beat together in sync. Such moments would give them the courage to leave their respective worlds behind and pursue a new life together.
The song's references to the ocean and the lighthouse create an ambiance of the vastness of nature's beauty that contrasts with human emotion. The vast ocean represents life's unpredictability, while the lighthouse is a symbol of hope and safety. The lyrics convey that hope may be found even in the darkest of times. The lyrics also suggest that love is a powerful force that can bring two lost souls together despite being lost in different worlds.
