The World As We Know It
ScarykidsScaringkids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is becoming
More precious than gold
All those times wasted alone
Starving children the poison waters

And the suffocating skies
We won't get another chance this time
We won't get a second chance this time

You'll be lucky if you make it out alive
Haven't we lost our minds?
What the hell were we all thinking?
Now they're choosing sides

This is the world
This is the world

A virus known as rage
Is brutally destroying
And spreading all over the place
A bleeding culture
A dying nation

When the money controls the tide
We won't get another chance this time
We won't get a second chance this time

You'll be lucky if you make it out alive
Haven't we lost our minds?
What the hell were we all thinking?
Now they're choosing sides
Well this is the world as we know it
Have we lost our minds?

The tension is rising and rising
And the world is at stake
Take back what belongs to you, by God
Before it's to late
TAKE IT BACK!
TAKE IT BACK!
TAKE IT BACK!

So close your eyes
And paint the picture
The sunset starring back
Won't last forever, forever
Just close your eyes

And paint the picture
'Cause the world we could've had
Would have been better, much better
Just close your eyes

And paint the picture




'Cause the sunset starring back
Won't last forever, forever

The song urges people to take back what belongs to them before it's too late. The world is at stake, and the tension is rising. Rage is destroying everything, and the culture is bleeding, and the world is dying. The song suggests that the money controls the tide, and there will be no second chance. We will be lucky if we make it out alive. The chorus suggests that we have lost our minds and questioning what we were all thinking when we made certain choices in life. The tension keeps rising, and the world keeps changing, but if we close our eyes and paint the picture, maybe we can make the world a better place.
