Round the World in a Day
London Elektricity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No rain on this parade
Better keep to the side
I'll let nothing get in my way
Turning left and away
Leaving the hurting at bay
Darling I'm so sorry
That I had to leave you today
A belief is not the truth
But I believe I can make it through
Escaping bitterness
Towards the orange and red
Heading to the west
Has gotten my head
Nothing's more or less true
Just farther away from you
Going into the west
Is me trying my best
Gotta get away from you
The grieving that I'd turned to
Gotta do what I can do
To open up anew
(Heading for the west)
Naked or overdressed
(Put life to the test)
Crying on request
(Going to the west)
God, I feel blessed
(Going to join the rest)
(Heading for the west)
Even if it means
(Put life to the test)
I'll go down with the rest
(Going to the west)
Never be the same
(Going to join the rest)
'Round the world in a day
No rain on this parade
Better keep to the side
I'll let nothing get in my way
Heading left and away
Yeah I'm coming to play
Who knows if I'll ever find
Somewhere I wanna stay

Just farther away from you

Going into the west
Venturing towards the unknown
Is me trying my best
Giving a hundred percent effort
Gotta get away from you
Needing to distance oneself from someone or something
The grieving that I'd turned to

Gotta do what I can do
Doing everything possible to move on
To open up anew
Starting fresh and being vulnerable
Naked or overdressed
Being oneself without the need for appearances
Put life to the test
Challenging oneself and taking risks
Crying on request
Feeling emotions deeply and expressing them easily
God, I feel blessed
Feeling grateful for the chances presented in life
Going to join the rest
Becoming part of something larger than oneself
Even if it means
Regardless of the consequences
I'll go down with the rest
I'll accept my fate
Never be the same
Changing permanently
Yeah, I'm coming to play
Excitedly embracing new experiences
Who knows if I'll ever find
Uncertainty about discovering happiness or contentment
Somewhere I wanna stay
Settling down and finding a home
