The World Belongs to Me
My Darkest Days Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me

So many roads that I've taken, when nobody thought I could make it
And even though I had to go it alone, I still survived
When you live in the darkness there's always confusion
Sometimes your mind will provide the illusion
And your life can change in the blink of an eye, yeah

I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten
So now the world belongs to me
To live and to die by the word that is spoken
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me

I opened a box full of secrets where the strongest of thoughts couldn't keep them
And even though I was the last to know, they were livin' inside
When you see through the darkness and find the solution
How quickly your eyes will remove the illusion
You know our life is gonna change in the blink of an eye, yeah

I look to the sky but there's someobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten
So now the world belongs to me
To live and to die by the word that is spoken
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me yeah, yeah

Someone's got to show you goin' that way yeah, yeah
There was nothing standing in my way yeah, yeah

I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
A hero was born from a soul that's forgotten
So now the world belongs to me
To live and to die by the word that is spoken




The legend's a lie and the silence is broken
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me
