Top Of The World
Nico Collins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
I'm on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
Fell hard but it only took a couple hundred tries
It felt so good to watch it fall
And light a match to those four walls
Took a breath and closed my eyes
I learned to let it go and roll the dice now
Yeah
I′m on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
I'm on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
I'm burning up the sky
Won′t look down I′m way too high
Cuz I'm on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
I once was a prisoner of self-inflicted shame
But why stay grounded by the narrow-minded, it′s a waste
Cuz we all run on borrowed time
Take the punches you'll be fine
As we live a fragile life
I′ll make the most of it and roll the dice
Cuz
I'm on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
I′m on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
I'm burning up the sky
Won't look down I′m way too high
Cuz I′m on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
It might be hard to understand now
Until you step out of your head
The view is better when you're up above the clouds
Cuz nothing′s promised in the end
I'm on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world
I′m on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world
YEAH!
I'm on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
I′m on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
I'm burning up the sky
Won't look down I′m way too high
Cuz I′m on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world yeah
Don't look down
Don′t look down
I'm on top of the world yeah
Don′t look down
Don't look down
I′m on top of the world yeah
I'm burning up the sky
Won't look down I′m way too high
Cuz I′m on top of the world
On top of the world
On top of the world, yeah
The song "Top of the World" by Nico Collins is an uplifting anthem about overcoming obstacles, breaking free from self-imposed limitations, and embracing one's own power and potential. The lyrics convey a sense of triumph and self-discovery, as the singer declares that he is on top of the world and refuses to look down.
In the first verse, the lyrics describe a journey of self-realization. The singer explains how he fell hard multiple times, but eventually managed to break free from the confines of his own mind. He takes pleasure in watching his own "house of cards" crumble and sets it ablaze, symbolizing the release from self-destructive habits or negative thought patterns. Closing his eyes and taking a breath represents a moment of introspection, where he learns to let go and take risks.
The second verse describes the singer's past as a prisoner of shame, likely referring to feelings of guilt or self-doubt. However, he rejects the idea of being held down by narrow-mindedness and recognizes that time is limited. Taking the punches and learning from them, he acknowledges the fragility of life and resolves to make the most out of every opportunity. Rolling the dice signifies embracing uncertainty and seizing the moment.
The chorus repeats the affirmation of being on top of the world and burning up the sky, suggesting a sense of exhilaration and confidence. The lyrics emphasize the importance of rising above negativity and societal expectations, choosing to see life from a higher perspective. The bridge provides a reminder that the view is better when stepping out of one's own head and looking beyond the clouds. It highlights the transient nature of life and the importance of making the most of the present moment.
Overall, "Top of the World" is an empowering and motivational anthem about breaking free from self-imposed limitations, embracing one's potential, and living life to the fullest.
