Hello World
Lady Antebellum (懷舊女郎) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cell phone calls
Talk radio screams at me
Through my tinted window I see
A little girl, rust red minivan
She's got chocolate on her face
She's got little hands, and she waves at me
Ya, she smiles at me
Well hello world
How you been
It's good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel, as cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, a little hope
In a little girl
Well hello world
Every day I drive by
A little white church
It's got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in
Say a prayer
Maybe talk to God, like
He is there
Oh I know he's there
Ya, I know he's there
Well hello world
How you been
It's good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel, as cold as steel
And broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light
Little grace, little faith for the world
Well ello world
Sometimes I forget what living's for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I'll breathe it in
Oh I'm home again
I see my wife, little boy, my little girl
Hello world
Hello world
All the empty disappears
I remember why I'm here
Just surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world
Hello world
Hello world
The song, 'Hello World', by Lady Antebellum, starts with the traffic crawling, cell phone calls, and talk radio screams. The whole scenario describes a stressed and busy environment where everyone is caught up in their own routine. But then, the song takes a turn when the singer notices a little girl waving at her through her tinted window. A moment of light and hope appears, and the singer sees the world in a different light. The little girl with chocolate on her face reminds her of the beauty of innocent and pure souls who are naive and simple.
Later on, she talks about a white little church with crosses in its yard that reminds her that she needs to connect with God and seek solace. The song emphasizes how sometimes we forget the purpose of living, and we need to be reminded of the little things that matter. The singer finds comfort in the simplicity of life, like seeing her loved ones every day and appreciating the little gestures of kindness around her.
Overall, the song celebrates the simplicity of life and how it can transform our perspective. The little things like waving at a stranger, going to church, and seeing loved ones are significant and can change our entire day. The song's motto is that sometimes the little hopes and moments of grace and faith we find can brighten our day and make it all worthwhile.
