Worlds Collide
Plumb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We never talked about it
'Cause you never even cared
And what you really wanted
I never even had

'Cause what may seem right
And what may be wrong
Seems out of sight
In this place we belong
Giving everything

Giving everything for love
I'm finding out that it's not enough
There's nothing left between you and I
I'm finding faith but losing us
Where worlds collide

Together we seemed perfect
A fairy tale for show
And looking on the outside
You'd never even know

That we're just not right
When compromise is wrong
Seems out of sight
In this place we belong
Giving everything

We're just not right
When compromise is wrong
Seems out of sight





In this place we belong
Giving everything

Overall Meaning

Plumb's song "Worlds Collide" speaks to the theme of a painful breakup where two people who seemed to be perfect together, end up realizing they are not right for each other. The song starts with the admission that the couple never talked about their issues because one partner didn't care enough to face them. The singer acknowledges that the other person never really wanted what she had to offer, leading to a situation where giving everything for love wasn't enough. The use of the phrase "worlds collide" is a metaphor for two people who are too different to make a real relationship work, yet they are still bound together by a need for love.


The chorus emphasizes the contrast between what "seems right" and "may be wrong." It implies that the couple's problems stem from a lack of communication and a willingness to compromise. Although everything looks perfect from the outside, internally they are struggling to make proper concessions, leading to a collision of two worlds that cannot coexist. The song's lyrics revolve around the universal theme of a failed relationship and highlights the importance of communication and the willingness to compromise to make love last.

Cause what may seem right
And what may be wrong
Seems out of sight
In this place we belong
Giving everything

Giving everything for love
I'm finding out that its not enough
Theres nothing left between you and I
I'm finding faith but losing us (I'm losing us)
When worlds collide

You'd never even know

This song is track eight from Plumb's cd release "candycoatedwaterdrops" released in 1999. That cd also includes such hits as "Stranded", "Here With Me", "Damaged", and "God-Shaped Hole". Great cd BTW and this is the best song on it.
