Worlds Apart
Seven Lion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you're not reaching back
You're not reaching back
Trying to get in, fight you through the cracks
Trying to get in, fought you through the cracks
I guess I'm trying to say
Million miles away
Next to me, next to me you are
Well if you're sitting right here
Why are we worlds apart?
Why are we worlds apart?
If you're so near
then why do you feel this far?
Why are we worlds apart?
Oh, we're not that different you know
I play among the stars and then fall so low
I try to make sense as I go
'Cause nothing
'Cause nothing
'Cause nothing is in your soul
Why are we worlds apart?
And why are we worlds apart?
Why are we worlds apart?
Why are we?
Why are we worlds apart?
Why are we worlds apart?
Guess I'm trying to say
It hurts to feel this far
Million miles away
Next to me, next to me you are
And if you're sitting right here
Why are we worlds apart?
Why are we worlds apart?
If you're so near
Why do you feel this far?
Why are we worlds apart?
Why are we worlds apart?
Why are we worlds apart?
Why are we worlds apart?
Why are we?
Why are we worlds apart?
Why are we worlds apart?
The lyrics to Seven Lions's "Worlds Apart" convey a sense of emotional distance between two individuals who are physically close to one another. The singer expresses his frustration at a lack of communication, with him reaching out and trying to connect, but receiving no response in return. The sense of loss and pain that comes with feeling disconnected from someone who is supposed to be near is palpable throughout the song. The repetition of the phrase "why are we worlds apart?" is particularly poignant in highlighting the emptiness that can exist in even the closest of relationships.
The singer acknowledges that despite their differences, they are not so different after all. The line "I play among the stars and then fall so low" could possibly mean that they have similar dreams or ambitions, but are struggling to achieve them. The final line, "Cause nothing is in your soul," suggests that while they may be close on a physical level, the spiritual or emotional connection between them is lacking.
"Worlds Apart" is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of clear communication and emotional openness in any relationship. It's a song about the pain of feeling isolated and the desire to be close to someone who seems just out of reach.
