Worlds Away
Red Sun Rising Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Worlds away I feel it raining
Let it trace your face
Through your eyes a storm escaping
Let it drain you

Cause we're not here for long
And we're moving too fast
Light is caving in
Where will we be when we crash
We're not here for long
And we're moving too fast

I wanna fade away into a dying star, alone
Take me far away to the moments I already know
If I could've ceased the day and the moments I let go
I could've changed the world
But the past is gone, now I walk this path alone

The blankest stares always see nothing
My reflection seems so dull
Another life may be beginning
I hope it doesn't leave me

Cause we're not here for long
And we're moving too fast
Light is caving in
Where will we be when we crash
We're not here for long
And we're moving too fast

I wanna fade away into a dying star, alone
Take me far away to the moments I already know
If I could've ceased the day and the moments I let go




I could've changed the world
But the past is gone, now I walk this path alone

Overall Meaning

In "Worlds Away", Red Sun Rising delves into the transience of life and the choices we make within it. The first few lines, "Worlds away I feel it raining, Let it trace your face," are suggestive of a detachment from reality or being lost in thought. Through the imagery of rain and storms, the song delves into a sense of chaos and turmoil. One may interpret these lines as an attempt to cope with the overwhelming pressures of life by disconnecting from the present and seeking solace in one's thoughts.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the ephemeral nature of life, "Cause we're not here for long, And we're moving too fast, Light is caving in, Where will we be when we crash." The lyrics evoke the idea of a countdown clock ticking away, with our ultimate fate being an unknown crash. The song highlights the accelerated pace of life, and the pressing need to seize opportunities before it's too late.


The themes of regret, nostalgia, and self-reflection are brought forth in the latter half of the song: "I wanna fade away into a dying star, alone, Take me far away, to the moments I already know, If I could've seized the day and the moments I let go, I could've changed the world, But the past is gone, now I walk this path alone." The singer yearns for an escape to a place where he knows the outcomes, suggesting that familiarity brings comfort. The reference to missed opportunities and the regret of not capitalizing on them showcases the importance of making the most of every moment. The final line, "now I walk this path alone," reinforces the idea of the inevitability of death and the fact that we are responsible for our own paths in life.
