Weight of the World
Jordana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I reach and then I fall back down
To dirt and dust
I try to get back up
But I can't see the sun through the clouds
The weight of the world
Is too heavy on this body
And so I reach out
For nothing cause nothing is something and you have no one
Into the void I go
My bags are full and laid beside my legs
I'm not sure where this leads
But I know that someday
Eventually I'll learn to live as me
As me
The lyrics to Jordana's song "Weight of the World" describe a person who is struggling to cope with the pressures and difficulties of life. The individual speaks about falling back down to dirt and dust after attempting to rise up from the weight of the world. The burdens of life make it nearly impossible to see beyond the dark clouds and the individual is left to reach out for something, anything to help ease the heaviness. However, the person finds nothing and no one there to help and slowly fades into the void with a heavy load beside them.
Despite the overwhelming nature of the weight of the world, the individual remains hopeful that someday they will learn to live as themselves, unencumbered by the weight of external pressures. The lyrics suggest that the person is aware that there is a journey ahead, and no clear destination is set, but the hope is that with their bags full of newfound knowledge, they will make it to where they are meant to be.
The song is a poignant reminder that sometimes life can be hard, and the weight of the world can be too heavy to bear. However, hope remains, and eventually, we will learn how to live and manage ourselves despite the challenges we face.
