Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale
Plumb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'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
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
Plumb's song Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale is about a break-up between two people who seemed perfect together on the outside but were not right for each other in reality. The song suggests that the couple never talked about their issues, leading to a lack of communication and understanding. The first stanza describes how the two didn't communicate about their wants and needs leading to misaligned expectations in the relationship. The chorus then reveals that even though one person gave their all for love, it was not enough to save the relationship. The second verse describes how the couple's relationship was like a fairy tale on the surface, but in reality, they were not right for each other. The bridge of the song highlights that when compromise is wrong, it leads to a disconnection of worlds and the loss of their previously perfect relationship.
Overall, Worlds Collide: A Fairy Tale suggests the importance of communication and understanding in a relationship. The song's lyrics describe how a relationship can seem perfect on the outside but lack communication, understanding and compromise, leading to a disconnection of worlds and the loss of love.

And what may be wrong
Seems out of sight
In this place we belong

Giving everything for love

Theres nothing left between you and I
I'm finding faith but losing us (I'm losing us)

Together we seem perfect
A fairy tale for sure
And looking on the outside
You'd never even know
We're just not right
When compromise is wrong

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.
