Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All by myself
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Good time's the devil
I'm a force of Heaven
Good time's the devil
I'm a force of Heaven
Good time's the devil
I'm a force of Heaven
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
So many time's I'm down
Down
So many time's I'm down
Down
So many time's I'm down
Down
With the ground
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Whoa, in this world
Whoa, in this world
Whoa, in this world
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
Lordy don't leave me
All by myself
The lyrics of "In This World" by Moby speak about the vulnerability and fear of being alone. The repeated plea of "Lordy don't leave me, all by myself" expresses the anxiety of being left alone in a world that can be both joyful and treacherous. The line "good time's the devil, I'm a force of Heaven" suggests that the singer is torn between the pleasures and temptations of the world and their desire for spiritual fulfillment. They feel both the pull of earthly delights and the need for divine guidance and protection.
The repetition of the words "down" and "ground" in the song could be interpreted as a metaphor for depression or despair. The singer seems to be expressing a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness in the face of life's challenges. The final lines of the song, "Whoa, in this world," seem to acknowledge the struggle of living in a world that is both beautiful and cruel, and the need for faith and perseverance.
Overall, "In This World" is a powerful and poignant expression of the human experience. It speaks to the universal fear of loneliness and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life.

This song is a sad reality. Nobody is noticing anyone and there are so many lonely people. Just imagine how much this world would be better if we were kind to each other💔
