Weight of the World
Reevah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring out the window to the night,
Your eyes well up as the shadows fill the spaces of light, and you wonder how she can bear it all
Under the trees her feet meet the wall,
and she's ready to jump,
she's ready to fall

Ooh ooh
Is it real now?

Can you feel now?
Feel the weight, of the world?
Ooh is it real now?
Can you feel now,
Feel the weight of the world

Ooh ooh
She's in pain you know it,
You turn a blind eye.
And she's reaching out from the other side of her broken mind,
And she's gone, oh she's gone.

Ooh ooh
Is it real now?
Can you feel now?
Feel the weight of the world?
Oh is it real now,
Can you feel now
Feel the weight of the world?

Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

Is it real now?
Can you feel now?
Feel the weight of the world?

Oh is it real now, can you feel now?
Feel the weight of the world

Overall Meaning

The song "Weight of the World" by Reevah seems to be a reflection on the heavy burden that some individuals carry in their lives. The opening lines of the song immediately transport the listener to a melancholic setting where someone is staring out the window into the night, overcome with a variety of emotions. As the shadows fill the spaces of light, the person wonders how "she" can bear it all. "She" is then described as being ready to jump, ready to fall under the trees as her feet meet the wall.

The chorus of the song is an emotive repetition of the lines "Is it real now? Can you feel now? Feel the weight of the world?" The weight of the world seems to be a metaphor for the intense emotional turmoil that the person in question is experiencing. The weight could be a reflection of the pressures of society, the expectations put on individuals, or the weight of previous events in their lives. Throughout the song, the implication is that the person is struggling to cope with the weight and that those around them may not notice or are turning a "blind eye."

The final lines of the song indicate that "she" is gone, suggesting that the weight of the world has finally overcome her. Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the struggles that individuals may face and the importance of recognizing and supporting those who are struggling.
