Weight of the World
Lowen & Navarro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake up each day
With the weight of the world
Spreading over your shoulders
Can't get away
From the weight of world
Crushing down on you
Sudden turns I can't define
There is no shade
There is no light
And you're afraid it's all gonna
Go on forever
REPEAT CHORUS
It's all too much to face
Losing touch and saving grace
What you can't live with
Time takes away
So you won't have to face
The clouds for the weather
REPEAT CHORUS
And if you find no path to glory
Nothing sacred, nothing holy
Change your tune to fit the story
And let the details all be damned
If there's a liberty you'll take it
And if you can't force it, break it
And make it all seem real
If it takes you forever
REPEAT CHORUS
The lyrics to Lowen & Navarro's song Weight of the World describe the struggle of living with the weight of one's problems and worries. The chorus, "Wake up each day with the weight of the world spreading over your shoulders, can't get away from the weight of world crushing down on you," encapsulates this idea. The lyrics also allude to a sense of helplessness and hopelessness, as the weight of the world seems to be unceasing and never-ending. The phrase "hard road in your mind" suggests that this weight is largely psychological rather than physical. The mention of "sudden turns I can't define" implies that the problems are unpredictable and difficult to understand.
The next lines, "there is no shade, there is no light, and you're afraid it's all gonna go on forever," emphasize the feeling of being trapped with no escape. The line "losing touch and saving grace" may suggest that the weight of the world is also causing the person to lose their connection to something important or that gives them hope.
The final verse suggests a possible solution to the problem. The idea is to change one's perspective and not be bound by convention. The phrase "let the details all be damned" implies that the singer encourages the listener to follow their instincts and disregard societal norms or rules that were previously holding them back.
Overall, the lyrics to Weight of the World are a poignant reminder of the difficulties that many people face in their daily lives. It is a call to action to find ways to break free from the weight of the world, even if it takes forever.
