Rockabye Baby! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bones, sinking like stones
All that we fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for
And we live in a beautiful world
Yeah we do, yeah we do
We live in a beautiful world
Bones, sinking like stones
All that we fought for
And homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for
And we live in a beautiful world
Yeah we do, yeah we do
We live in a beautiful world

Here we go
Here we go

And we live in a beautiful world
Yeah we do, yeah we do
We live in a beautiful world

Oh, all that I know




There's nothing here to run from
Cos yeah, everybody here's got somebody to lean on

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Bones, sinking like stones, all that we fought for, Homes, places we've grown, all of us are done for," paint a bleak picture of defeat - of all hope being lost. The imagery of sinking bones represents a loss of strength and resilience, an utter defeat as if everything they once stood for has now crumbled. It is as if the people mentioned in the song have lost everything they have ever known, leaving them with nothing but despair. However, the lyrics then go on to mention that we live in a beautiful world, which seems like a message of hope in the midst of despair. The song acknowledges that even though things seem grim, the world is still a beautiful place to be in.


The chorus repeats the same line "We live in a beautiful world" as a reminder that no matter what hardships and challenges we face, there is still beauty in the world that surrounds us. This message is emphasized by the line "here we go" that instills a sense of perseverance and resilience to keep pushing through difficulty with the realization that the world is still a beautiful place despite it all.


Overall, "Don't Panic" is a song that encourages listeners to not give up hope in the face of adversity, and that despite the battles they have lost, there is still much to be joyful about in the world.
