Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Kye Sones 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
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
Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
The lyrics of Kye Sones's "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" suggests that in life, there is no turning back and we are always being watched, even when we are asleep. The line "Acting on your best behaviour, turn your back on mother nature, everybody wants to rule the world," is a metaphor that represents the behavior of humans, who act according to their own selfish desires, ignoring the importance of their natural surroundings. The lyrics suggest that everyone desires power - to control their lives, people around them and even the world. However, power is an illusion as nothing lasts forever, and our moments of pleasure are fleeting.
The second verse, "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," are lyrics that suggest the love and support for someone close during times of trouble. The phrase, "So glad we've almost made it, so sad they had to fade it" implies that they may have gone through challenges in their journey together, and it is disappointing that the good times have come to an end.
