World's Crazy
Róisín Murphy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could find to see (?) as if
We're the time between the sheets
In our bed are all those hazy
Recollections of our love
That's what I've been dreaming of
I'm in love (?)
All my wishes coming true
Do not disturb me
Get a bit of cry
To wake me
But how I am gonna do
When I dreaming dreams of you?
Hey baby
World's crazy
You wake me out
Baby, baby
To far up
Baby, baby
I am in doubt
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Why 'bout
Baby, baby
Baby, baby
Hey baby
World's crazy
Cry baby
Hey baby
If you could make a world
Oh baby
Where love's a thing to do
And the sky is always blue
I might return
But only maybe
Scared to find that it is true
And someone else is loving you
So let it lie
And please don't wake me
I could sleep one hundred years
Not disturb me
And is not a slide (?)
Into a hazy
Recollection of our love
Ala (?) lately
Hey baby
World's crazy
You wake me out
Baby, baby
Too far up
Baby, baby
I am in doubt
Baby, baby
Why 'about
Baby, baby
Hey baby
World's crazy
Cry baby
Hey baby
World's crazy
The lyrics of Róisín Murphy's song "World's Crazy" are quite abstract and open to interpretation. The song talks about a world that is crazy and uncertain, and the only way to find peace is through love. The singer is dreaming of being with someone she loves, and she doesn't want anyone to disturb her. She talks about how she would love to live in a world where love is the only thing that matters, but she's also scared of what she might find. The lyrics are full of imagery, and they create a dreamlike atmosphere, where everything is possible.
The lyrics of the song are quite cryptic, but they may be interpreted as a comment on the current state of the world. The world is indeed crazy, and uncertainty is in the air. Despite the madness, the singer finds solace in her dreams of love, which represent a kind of escape from the chaos. It may also be interpreted as a love song, where the singer expresses her desire to be with someone she loves, even if it means living in a world that is not ideal.
