Worlds Apart
Seven Lions & Kerli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep reaching
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
It hurts to feel this far
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?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Worlds Apart" by Seven Lions feat. Kerli suggest the feeling of emotional distance and disconnection between two individuals who are physically close. The singer of the song is expressing his frustration in trying to reach out to the other person, but not getting any response. He questions the reason for this emotional distance and wonders why they are "worlds apart" despite being next to each other.


The lines "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" imply that the other person may be emotionally unavailable, which could be the reason for the distance. The singer is struggling to connect with them on a deeper level, but their lack of emotional depth is preventing them from doing so.


Overall, the song has a melancholic feel, with a sense of longing and a desire for the other person to reciprocate the singer's emotions. It speaks to the difficulty of trying to connect with someone who is emotionally unavailable and the pain that comes with that.


Line by Line Meaning

I keep reaching
I continue making efforts to connect with you


But you're not reaching back
But you're not reciprocating


You're not reaching back
You're not reciprocating


Trying to get in, fight you through the cracks
I'm trying to break through to you, even if it's difficult


Trying to get in, fought you through the cracks
I've tried to break through to you, even if it's difficult


I guess I'm trying to say
I think what I'm trying to communicate is


It hurts to feel this far
It's painful to feel so disconnected from you


Million miles away
So far apart


Next to me, next to me you are
physically present here, but still distant


Well if you're sitting right here
If you're physically present now


Why are we worlds apart?
Why do we still feel so disconnected?


If you're so near
If you're physically close to me


then why do you feel this far?
Why do we still feel so disconnected?


Oh, we're not that different you know
We actually have commonalities that shouldn't keep us apart


I play among the stars and then fall so low
I experience highs and lows in life, just like everyone else


I try to make sense as I go
I try to understand things as they happen


'Cause nothing
Because there's no connection


'Cause nothing
Because there's no connection


'Cause nothing is in your soul
Because there's no spiritual/emotional connection


Why are we worlds apart?
Why do we still feel so disconnected?


And why are we worlds apart?
And why do we still feel so disconnected?


Why are we worlds apart?
Why do we still feel so disconnected?


Why are we?
Why are we disconnected?


Why are we worlds apart?
Why do we still feel so disconnected?


Why are we worlds apart?
Why do we still feel so disconnected?
