[Words & Music: M. Kiske]

Do it again
Say it again
My darling
Your soul is crying
Burning within
Life's party

She's sad sad sad as the world
She's sad sad sad as the world
In my head I get what she's worth
But she's sad sad sad as the world

Sweet as her tears
Nothing appears
As beautiful
The love that she gives
Says that you live
Unbeatable

She's sad sad sad as the world
She's sad sad sad as the world
In my head I get what she's worth
But she's sad sad sad as the world

And all I have to say I can't stop to obey
And so she cries, cries, cries, cries!

[solo]

Do it again
Say it again
My darling

She's sad as the world
She's sad as the world




In my head I get what she's worth
But she's sad as the world

Overall Meaning

The central theme of Michael Kiske's song "Sad As The World" is heartbreak and the pain that comes along with it. The lyrics are filled with odes of lamentation and despair as the singer describes a loved one who is sad, sad, sad "as the world." He tries to comfort her by acknowledging the depth of her sadness and offering love and reassurance. Despite his efforts to lift her spirit, the woman remains inconsolable and continues to weep.


The song's chorus, "She's sad sad sad as the world, In my head I get what she's worth, but she's sad sad sad as the world," is particularly poignant. It reflects the idea that no amount of love or attention can fix someone who is consumed by sorrow. This person feels worthless and devalued, and nothing can change that. The song suggests that the only thing we can do is be there for our loved ones when they need us.


Overall, the song is a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy and the necessity of being present for the people we love. It is a beautiful and sincere ode to the human spirit's capacity to endure and survive in the face of overwhelming sadness.
